I have NH 26 DA with about 220 hours on it. It's a great tractor but I have one question about the oil. It seems that the oil in the tractor gets very dirty looking very quickly after an oil change, much faster than in any of my gasoline equipment, truck or car. Is this normal? Is it because of the diesel engine? It's the only diesel equipment I have ever owned, and I'm concerned that this might be something that could shorten its life. When I change the oil, I do drain it fully and carefully, and, of course, change the oil filter too. I use only New Holland brand oil of the proper viscosity for the temperature.
