Tractor Maintenance
One of the most important things you can do to prevent
hydraulic system problems is to ensure that your tractor's
reservoir remains free of dirt and contamination.
Use a clean cloth to wipe the hose ends before attaching
them to your tractor. Replace the filter element for your
tractor’s hydraulic system at the prescribed intervals.
These simple maintenances will go a long way to prevent
the occurrence of control valve and hydraulic cylinder
problems.
