RK24 - Is There a Hydraulic Filter

[OhioCowboy]

I've looked at the maintenance schedule in my manual and I've looked at my tractor. Am I correct that there is no hydraulic oil filter on this machine? When I picked the machine up I was told that the 50 hour maintenance they do includes oil filter, oil, hydraulic filter and hydraulic oil...plus lots of checks and adjustments. All this for $350-$400 plus pickup and delivery that I would have to arrange. I've been doing my own maintenance on my NH TC33D for 3,000 hours with no problems, well there was one problem but that was entirely my fault :ashamed:. So I'm trying to purchase the fluids and fluids now for my first scheduled maintenance at 50 hours and wondering where the hydraulic filter is or did I misunderstand.

If you find there is one, I’d confirm whether it needs to be replaced or just cleaned. My Massey has a stainless steel mesh hydraulic filter that you just soak in kerosene during changes.

I'm sure it's something like that I'm missing. Even my wood splitter has a spin-on filter for the hydraulic. Read the entire manual and found no mention of one though. Lots of places to cut costs but not there I hope.

Talked to the RK tech today and he says there is a filter under the left foot platform. $16.80 each. He says they are working with TYM to improve the contents of the owners manual.
