Maintenance Tips
- Regularly Inspect and Replace Filters: Change your Sheppard tractor's oil, air, and fuel filters according to the manufacturer's recommended intervals, typically every 250-500 hours of operation. Using genuine Sheppard filters or high-quality replacements ensures optimal engine performance and prevents premature wear.
- Monitor and Maintain Fluid Levels: Check and top off engine oil, coolant, hydraulic fluid, and transmission fluid regularly. Use fluids that meet Sheppard's specifications to prevent damage to internal components. Pay special attention to hydraulic fluid levels, as low levels can lead to decreased performance and potential pump damage.
- Inspect and Lubricate Regularly: Grease all lubrication points, such as bearings, bushings, and joints, according to the service schedule. Proper lubrication reduces friction, minimizes wear, and extends the life of these critical components. Sheppard recommends specific greases for different applications, so consult your owner's manual for the recommended type.
- Prepare for Seasonal Changes: Before winter, check your Sheppard tractor's antifreeze concentration and ensure the battery is fully charged. In the summer, clean the radiator fins to prevent overheating and ensure adequate airflow. Performing these seasonal maintenance tasks will keep your equipment running reliably year-round.
