Splitter service

[snoozeys]

I have a 30t splitter and I was curious how often do other forum members service them .. New engine and pump oil ??

I was wondering the same...

If you have a new engine I would run it for 25 hours and change the oil and oil filter. This will get any metal out of the new engine. I would then change the oil every 100 hours thereafter. I would also change the fuel filters during the oil change. Especially if it has an inline fuel filter. The hydraulic filter only needs to be done every 400 hours. Your pump oil should be fine for a pretty long time. Please make sure it's in the sight window as they do have a tendency to use oil.

Hope this helps!

Thanks ... mine has been sluggish of late and it got me thinking it was time it needed a service

It could be that the inline fuel filter is getting clogged.

I'll check but don't think it has one
