Hydraulic System: Inspect hydraulic fluid levels regularly and change the hydraulic filter every 500 hours. This prevents contamination and ensures optimal hydraulic performance.
Fuel System: Use clean, fresh diesel fuel and replace the fuel filter annually, or more often if fuel quality is poor. This helps prevent fuel injector clogging and ensures efficient combustion.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for extended periods, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.
