Maintenance Tips

Engine Oil & Filter: Change the engine oil and filter every 250 hours of operation, using a high-quality diesel engine oil that meets or exceeds the manufacturer's specifications. This helps maintain proper lubrication and prevent engine wear.
Hydraulic Maintenance: Inspect hydraulic fluid levels regularly and change the hydraulic fluid and filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations (typically every 500-1000 hours). Cleanliness is critical for hydraulic systems; prevent contamination.
Fuel System Care: Use clean, fresh fuel and inspect the fuel filter regularly, replacing it as needed (typically every 250-500 hours). Drain any water or sediment from the fuel tank periodically to prevent fuel system problems.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for an extended period, fill the fuel tank to prevent condensation, add a fuel stabilizer, and disconnect the battery. Protect the tires from direct sunlight to prevent cracking.
