Maintenance Tips
- Engine Oil & Filter: Change the engine oil and filter every 250 hours of operation using a high-quality diesel engine oil (e.g., SAE 15W-40) and a compatible oil filter.
- Hydraulic System: Inspect hydraulic fluid levels regularly. Replace the hydraulic filter every 500 hours and change the hydraulic fluid every 1000 hours to prevent contamination and maintain optimal performance.
- Fuel System: Use clean fuel and check the fuel filter regularly. Drain any water or sediment from the fuel tank periodically to prevent fuel system issues.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for the off-season, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Consider greasing all lubrication points.
