I have a 2210 which is approaching its 200 hour mark. The hydraulic fluid was changed at 50 hours just before I acquired the machine. A friend who does maintenance on John Deere equipment at a local cemetery suggested that instead of changing the fluid, I only change the filter. He contends that (a) since the fluid was changed once and (b) the fluid does not lose its strength, a filter change is all that is needed. Does anyone have any experience that would indicate his advice is sound or not? I only put about 50 hours a year on the tractor. Many thanks. . . .
