Suction filter 4110

Hi all

On an older 4110 has directions printed on hydraulic filter. They say to "clean" filter and magnet after 50 hr then every 100 hours of operation. I Happened to glance at a new 4110 when picking up some parts. Directions on filter housing says to change filter every 300 hours. No mention of even 50 hour service. I wonder if owners manual on older machines give different directions for same machine. Of course, pumps may be different, thus, different service requirements. One service guy tells me hydraulic fluid should be changed out at 50 hours. Another says no need to do such thing, especially if using to mow grass and other light duty work. So I wondered if directions have changed as the tractors got newer.

Wondering and enjoying the dog days of summer...

Cheers Coffeeman

My 2001 built 4110 instructions were to do the first service at 50 hours, then every 300 hours thereafter. The reason for this is because the system can have alot of various contaminates from manufacture/assembly and you want to rid the system of all of that stuff for obvious reasons. My tractor has a fine-mesh, cleanable screen in the left lower trans. housing, the spin-on filter cartridge above on the left side and then the large paper cartridge power steering filter in it's canister on the right underside - I serviced all of these first time around and then just the 2 replaceable filters on subsequent services, which I do every 300 hours. During a repair earlier this year, I also rechecked the screen filter - it had aquired just a little trash in the 700 hours since I had last had it out. Hope this helps.
