Maintenance Tips
- Engine Oil & Filter: Change the engine oil and filter every 250 hours using the recommended oil type (typically a 15W-40 diesel engine oil) to ensure optimal engine lubrication and longevity.
- Hydraulic System: Regularly inspect the hydraulic oil level and condition. Change the hydraulic filters according to the manufacturer's recommendations (usually every 500 hours) to prevent contamination and maintain proper hydraulic system performance.
- Fuel System: Use clean, high-quality diesel fuel and replace the fuel filters regularly (every 250-500 hours) to prevent fuel system issues. Consider using a fuel additive during cold weather to prevent gelling.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for the off-season, stabilize the fuel, change the engine oil and filter, lubricate all grease fittings, and protect the tires from sunlight to prevent dry rot.
