Operator Interface:
Mechanical levers for 3-point hitch, PTO, and hydraulic remotes; foot pedals for HST speed and direction.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100-250 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first.
Hydraulic Oil Filter:
Recommended replacement at 250-500 operating hours or per manual instructions.
Air Filter Service:
Inspect frequently, replace when dirty or according to operating conditions.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended at regular intervals (e.g., annually or every 250 hours) and when performing fuel system maintenance.
Engine Oil Type:
API Service Category CD or CE, SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 (refer to manual for specific viscosity based on ambient temperature).
Hydraulic Oil Type:
Iseki approved hydraulic oil, Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid (UTTF), or equivalent (e.g., ISO VG 46 hydraulic oil).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene Glycol based antifreeze, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Hst Wear:
While generally robust, extreme use or improper maintenance can lead to premature wear in HST components.
Hydraulic Leaks:
Common to all hydraulic systems, can arise from worn seals or damaged hoses.
Electrical Connections:
Corrosion or loose connections can lead to intermittent electrical issues, especially in agricultural environments.
