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.
Storage
It is good practice to clean, inspect, service and make necessary repairs to the cutter when parking it for long periods and when parking it at the end of a working season. This will help ensure the cuter is ready for field use the next time you
!DANGER!
Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO and secure cutter deck in the up position with solid supports before servicing the underside of the cutter.
1.Clean off any dirt and grease that may have accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape off compacted dirt from the bottom of deck and then wash surface thoroughly with a garden hose. A coating of oil may also be applied to the lower deck area to minimize oxidation.
2.Check blades and blade bolts for wear and replace if necessary. See “Cutter Blade Maintenance” on page 22.
3.Inspect for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust or replace as needed.
4.Lubricate as noted in “Lubrication Points” starting on page 29.
5.Replace all damaged or missing decals.
6.Store cutter on a level surface in a clean, dry place. Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for a longer cutter life.
7.Follow all unhooking instructions on page 16 when disconnecting tractor from cutter.
8.Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Aerosol Land Pride
