Engine Oil and Filter: Change the engine oil and filter every 250 hours of operation, using the recommended John Deere oil specification (e.g., Plus-50 II) to ensure optimal engine lubrication and longevity.
Hydraulic System Maintenance: Regularly check the hydraulic fluid level and inspect for any leaks. Replace the hydraulic filter every 500 hours or annually to prevent contamination and maintain hydraulic system performance.
Fuel System Care: Use clean, high-quality diesel fuel and add a fuel conditioner/stabilizer, especially during periods of inactivity or seasonal storage, to prevent algae growth and fuel degradation.
