Hello Ray , I haven’t been on this site for a few years . I sold the 1025r JD and bought a new 2022 MF Gc1725m . Approaching the 50 hour service . In a nutshell what would you use the filters and fluids oil / hydro ?
I respect all the advice from the folks on here , you stuck like a sore thumb , lol , and input from all members are always welcomed and appreciated ! Thank you and Happy New Year to all ! John
Hi John, Currently, I would use the Rotella T6, synthetic oil, 15W-40 in the engine, (it's a bargain, and really a good trusted name), OEM, NAPA or WIX, (both are the same), oil filter. (Those are the only filters that are actually spec'd for that engine). The AGCO Permatran 821XL transmission oil, or, perhaps a newer product, I'm not up on the latest. Or, one of the Amsoil products, and an AGCO transmission filter. Finally, synthetic EP gear oil in the front axle, (any multi viscosity near 80w-90, will work fine).
Make sure you: Remove the transmission suction screen behind the Lt rear tire, and clean it if necessary.
Take the time to look for hose rubs. (Check particularly where they run near the tires).
Find all the grease fittings, because I'm sure the dealer either missed, or didn't get grease in at least one.
I personally would NOT service the transmission oil, or it's filters, at 50 hours. It's an unnecessary waste. I would wait for the 250 hour to do it. Your manual may, or may not, call for it at 50 hours.
Good luck.
