Built for easy maintenance

Turn off the engine for a couple of minutes before checking the coolant level. The coolant should be checked when cool, as the surface of hot coolant is higher. Also check the freezing point, especially in autumn. Drain the system and change the coolant every other year. Never fill the system using just water. Check that the breather hole is not blocked. The breather hole can be found beneath the upper puller on the left. If coolant is dripping from here, it could be a sign that the water pump gasket is leaking. Note, however, that on new tractors some fluid may drip from the breather hole until the gasket seals in place.

Park the tractor on a level surface and allow it to stand still for a couple of minutes before checking the oil level. The dipstick can be found on the left side of the engine. The oil level should be between the upper and lower marks. Add oil if necessary. At the same time check that no fluids are leaking from the engine, hydraulics or transmission.

Checking the transmission fluid level is very simple thanks to the sight glass on the left side of the PTO. Let the tractor stand for a couple of minutes before checking to allow the oil to settle. The filler pipe can be found by the top link’s attachment.

Clean the radiator using compressed air or hosing with water. Do not use a pressure washer. You can also use a soft brush, but be careful not do damage the cells. Radiators open to the front and to the side, depending on the tractor’s equipment. If your tractor has air conditioning, remember to tighten the air conditioning radiator in place with two screws.

The hydraulic fluid level can be checked easily using the inspection window next to the steps, so you can check every time you climb into or out of the cab. Before checking, lift the front linkage and lower the front loader and rear linkage to allow the oil to return to the tank. Fluid can be added using the filler pipe at the rear of the tractor. In case of emergency, fluid can also be added through the filler pipe beneath the steps, but take extra care to avoid getting impurities in the fluid. Also, check and if necessary empty the overflow tank for the quick couplings.
