If the tractor is used to power external hydraulic equipment, check the level of the transmission/hydraulic oil every day.

This check is described in "Service - Every 250 Hours".

If the tractor is used in particularly wet and muddy terrain, apply extra lubrication as follows:

  • Lubricate front axle and FWD drive shaft.
  • Lubricate rear axle.
  • Lubricate three-point hitch.
  • Lubricate the pick-up hitch (if equipped).

These jobs are described in "Service - Every 250 Hours" and "Service - Every 500 Hours".
