Consumables

[jonstark]

What type and what quantities of consumables would you recommend for my used L3010? I'll be using it at least 10 hours/week for the foreseeable future skidding firewood, clearing roads, moving snow/fill, etc.

thx,
jon

Assuming it is not in immediate need of any scheduled service I suggest an engine oil filter and sufficient oil to drain and fill the crankcase plus at least one quart. A fuel filter; always have at least one on hand. A minimum of 2.5 gallons of hydraulic oil. A grease gun with several spare grease cartridges.

Hydraulic/hydrostatic filters have a fairly long change interval, you may or may not choose to stock them. Air filters fall into much the same category, it is unusual to need to change them more than once per year, and operating in extremely dusty conditions in winter is rare.
