Utility Tractor

A: The Uses. Whether you are a professional landscaper or an owner of a large property, you'll benefit from investing in a utility tractor.

A: Every 100 hours: Service the engine. Every 200 hours: Change the engine oil and replace the oil filter, check the steering linkage and front wheel alignment, and inspect the tractor for any damage. Check belts and hoses, hydraulic lines, and replace the air filter.
