Mid-Missouri | Many planetaries have magnetic plugs on them. I would not personally change them every two years or 600 hours. I do believe in taking care of machinery but that seems excessive to me. New diesel engines are on the 500 hour service interval now. Although I feel that is too long, I believe a large planetary without any internal combustion should easily be able to go longer. Our 895 broke an axle and when we disassembled it, the oil and gears looked visually perfect. It had about 7,000 hours at the time, we bought it with maybe 5000, and I don't know the history on it before that. Yes, it is a good idea, but on our farm, I see other things that need more attention than changing planetary oil every 600 hours. If your planetary or differential don't have magnetic plugs, I would suggest installing that. | |
