I"ll weigh in on this one. F First let me say that I believe in following maitenance scheules. Having said that, with regard to the hydraulic fluid, ifthe tractor is used regulalry so that the transhydraulic oil gets warmed up, most of the condensation will evaporate and you will not have a water problem with it. If you operate in dirty, dusty conditions, you might find that you oil gets dirty. Since there is no filtration on this fluid, prudence would suggest that you ought to change it when it gets dirty. My fluid has been in my tractor since I bought it in 1994 and my tractor is used reguarly on our ranch but it hauls our pipe trailer across the pasture, pulls the drag across the pasture to break up the "meadow muffins"and plows snow. These are not dirty jobs. The fluid is still clear and amber. I have not seen a reason change it yet. When it starts to look dirty, I"ll have no reluctance to change it. Some time I will replace thePTO shaft with a 1-3/8" version that has been sitting on the shelf ready to go in and if the sumps need to be cleaned, I will do it then and replace the fluid.
My advice to you is to "read the oil; when it looks dirty, change it. If it gets milky, change it. If you have a lot of time on your hands, drain the fluid, check the sumps andif they look bad, use Jeff-OH"s method for cleaning and refill with the same oil IF IT LOOKS CLEAN AND WATER FREE.
