Typically 250-500 hours or annually, depending on operating conditions and oil type. Consult specific service manual for exact intervals.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended at every oil change or as per service manual, often based on hours or when system shows signs of restriction.
Air Filter Maintenance:
Regular inspection and cleaning/replacement based on operating environment (dusty conditions require more frequent attention).
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid Capacity:
Capacity varies, likely around 10-15 gallons (38-57 liters) for the combined hydraulic and transmission system. Exact capacity detailed in the manual's specific sections.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Typically 15-20 quarts (14-19 liters) for engines of this size. Exact capacity will be in the manual.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear, hydraulic pump and seal wear, PTO spline wear, electrical connections corrosion, cooling system leaks (radiator, hoses).
Engine Related Issues:
