Another 2023 Issue

The injectors got clogged before the fuel level got low. The low fuel level I just noticed a couple days ago.

The injectors got clogged when you ran it with low fuel. You started a thread about how you accidentally ran it with low fuel and noticed it started running weird, and sounding weird.

It's probably not possible to tell why the muffler cracked...could be a coincidence, or not, but the injectors getting clogged wasn't the fault of the tractor.

Did you check your owner's manual? Most new tractors seem to require that you be at full stop to engage the differential lock, and will tell you that damage can happen if you try it while moving. On my LS I sometimes had to bump the HST pedals to get it to engage, but just a tiny amount.

Yes, I always read the operator manuals. The manual for this tractor states that the lock should be engaged stopped or at a slow speed. No warning of damage. As I stated earlier, on my tractor it will only engage when stopped. It disengages when the wheel traction equalizes as it should. Works good.

You may engage it at LOW speed without any risk of damage as long as both wheels are turning at the same speed. If one is spinning faster that the other damage will occur if you engage the lock.

That makes sense.

So far I have had no problems with my machine.
Had to use differential lock once so far and slowly rotated tire until it engaged.
Went to dealer the other day and talked with service tech.
He says for 50 hour service change engine oil and filter.
At 200 hours change engine oil& filter,hydrostat filter and hydrolic filter.
He says unless there is a problem hydro oil is good until 1000 hours.
Keep fuel tank full to eliminate condensation.
Check fluid levels and air filter before start up.
Dealer gave me 2 oil filters and 2 filters for hydro.
