It then covers the actual 250-hour service, hydraulic filter, hub and axle oil checks, greasing, with honest notes on which items got deferred. Useful for 5075E owners planning tire upgrades or DIY service intervals.
Posted by an owner-operator (Chris) documenting real, ongoing farm use and upkeep of his own 5075E.
Yes, the owner went from 9.5-24 to 11.2-24 tires. Deere confirmed this was okay and said it would not cause problems with the four wheel drive system.
Changing the hydraulic oil filter, checking oil in the hubs and axle, and greasing everything. The air filter was skipped since it had been cleaned a week earlier.
The owner used the bucket with jack stands underneath to lift the tractor, then rolled the heavy tires up a ramp into the truck bed instead of lifting them.
The owner initially thought 275 hours but checked the book and found the actual interval is 375 hours, so the oil change was delayed about 50 hours.
