Maintenance Tips
- Engine Oil Changes: Change your engine oil and filter every 100-200 hours of operation, depending on conditions and oil type. Use a quality oil formulated for older tractor engines.
- Hydraulic System Maintenance: Check hydraulic fluid levels regularly and replace the hydraulic filter at the manufacturer-recommended interval (typically every 500 hours). Address any leaks promptly.
- Fuel System Care: Use fresh fuel and consider adding a fuel stabilizer, especially during seasonal storage. Clean or replace the fuel filter annually to prevent fuel flow issues.
