It walks through service-interval charts, fitting threads, the vacuum setup (which the owner admits didn't pull fluid as expected), removing filters, and cleaning the magnet. Best for owners wanting a real, somewhat improvised maintenance method rather than a polished how-to.
Posted by the Skid-Co channel, an owner working on his own MX6000 and figuring things out on camera as he goes.
No. The 50-hour service only covers grease fittings, starting system check, operator presence control, wheel bolt torque, and tie rod dust caps, not oil or hydraulic changes.
According to the service chart shown, the hydraulic oil filter replacement and magnetic filter cleaning happen at the 400-hour interval, along with engine oil and fuel filter changes.
The owner tried using a vacuum rig through a close nipple fitting to hold fluid in the tractor, but the vacuum did not pull any fluid and came out bone dry.
The owner mentions using Wix filters when available since they were historically cheaper than factory filters, though factory kits from a dealer can now be competitively priced.
