Read articles →This is a long-time owner's routine daily walk-around on his eMax 20S HST, not a buyer's overview. He checks front differential oil (and notes a known vent/leak quirk fixed by leaving the cap a quarter-turn loose), engine oil, coolant level, alternator, starter, power steering cylinder, hydraulic sight glass, SSQA lock, and tire pressure. Best suited to existing eMax 20S owners wanting real-world maintenance habits, not shoppers comparing specs.
An owner-operator sharing personal upkeep habits and quirks discovered over years with his own tractor, with a casual, chatty vlog style rather than a formal review.
The owner says there is no vent for the front differential, so he leaves the cap one quarter turn loose instead of fully tight, which stopped the leak.
It is located near the PTO shaft, about a finger or fist width to the left side, easiest to see when the backhoe is not attached.
Front differential oil, engine oil, coolant level, alternator, starter, power steering cylinder for leaks, hydraulic sight glass, SSQA lock, and tire pressure.
The owner aims to check tire pressure once a week, though he admits he sometimes only manages once a month.
