Maintenance Tips
- Engine Oil & Filter: Change the engine oil and filter every 250 hours of operation. Use a high-quality diesel engine oil meeting the manufacturer's specifications.
- 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.
