The manual suggests changing the hydraulic fluid every 750hrs. Or 2 per year.
Now this recomendation is for a new tractor that was in full time use 55 years ago.
Questions, I ask myself are. How hard/dusty conditions do I work my tractor. Do I make it pull hard. How often do I use it etc.
These tractors are very well built and do not have highly loaded components or gears. If you do not have a water contamination or dust/grit contamination issue and the oil is not gumming up... Then I would not be too fast to change it.
My TE-20 oil has been in there since 2005 and the MF-65 since 2006. Now the MF-65 only is used for moving things around the house, pusing snow for an hour or two per winter and driving on and off the trailer to go to the shows.
My TE I use to mow for 10 to 20 hours a summer and go to the shows and move stuff around so it would take me ~10-20 years to get to the 750 hours of use so I just keep an eye on the oil quality (is it getting dirty, etc)
