Ive heard of the shop vac trick, ive never changed just the hydraulic filters on the 7060. The manual said to change just the filters at 400 hrs but i ended up changing the hydraulic oil and filters out at 300 hrs just to be pro active. The shop vac is a good idea considoring the udt2 is something close to 20 bucks a gallon! then i did the hydraulic oil change i put the tractor on the trailer, drained it into a funnel with some cleat tubing on it going to 5 gallon buckets worked out well for the 15 gallons that it took.
No the fill port is high enough to keep the nozzle out of the oil. It works like holding your thumb over a straw and lift it out of your drink, the liquid stays in the straw until you move the thumb. Just creates a suction inside the housing. I was impressed with how good it did. Thanks for watching!
Am I losing my mind or does your intro change a little each time? I'm crazy, right? The vacuum trick seems pretty cool. Was there any oil in the shop vac when you were done? LOL.
Great job that’s what I have to do this weekend on my tractor I change the oil every 50 hours it’s due for next oil change great video enjoy watching them great job👍
Every 50 hours is soon. I did do my first change at 50 hours. Can’t hurt anything but I’d be changing oil 6 times a year at least 🤣! The book calls for every 400 hours or once a year on this one. Thanks for watching.
💥 I was surprise to see how well that vacuum worked to prevent oil loss. I might have to give that a try sometime. Thanks for the tip. *Keep on tractroing!*
Ben, I too was so impressed by how well that shop vac did, night and day difference. Saved a bit of cash and avoid a huge mess. Valuable tip to be sure. Have a great day, and as always, thanks for bringing us along. Cheers.
Good evening Sir, You have a nice maintenance board schedule mon ami 👌🧐 Yes me too I like the Rottela Oil ( T-6 ) 👌💪 Yes you did a OUSTANDING video with your family 🙏😇 Great trick using your vacuum 👌🧐 You are OUSTANDING Maintenance Man Sir Cheers 🍻
Great job on the fluid changes.The vac was the trick for changing the hydraulic filters.This spring I think I would pressure wash the engine bay.The M6060 will love you for that, just a suggestion.Have a blessed day and be SAFE.🚜👏👍❤️🙏
It’s just dirty around the battery compartment area. The engine is clean. I don’t wash up there because of the electrical connections. I do blow it out with air occasionally. Appreciate you watching!
Another good video, What about those new tire chains? Don't think i have seen them before....and i always worry about wear on tires when i see chains...also i don't know if your m6060 is covered or not because of the year but mine just got recalled for bad injectors....they tested and replaced them all, even covered the haul bill both ways, mite want to check with the guys over at Abingdon. can't hurt to ask
I’ve heard of injectors causing issues. I think it started around 2017, so I’m probably ok. I’d say it would have already showed up as a problem by now if it was going too. Another TH-camr I keep up with Hillside Acres had to have his replaced. I’ve had the chains since 2015, just rarely use them. Appreciate you watching!
Paper Air filters need changed once a year really regardless of the use. Fuel filters are especially important too unless your pre filtering the fuel. Thanks
I just came in from the shop after doing the 50hr service on my mx5400hstc. This is my first hst tractor and the fluid kind of got away from me before I could get the new filter on. Sure wish I’d of seen your video before I started. The misses is going to pick up some fluid on her way home from work😡. Your tutorial’s are very helpful for some of us!!
That shop vac did awesome! I’d loose probably 2 gallons or more trying to it without that trick. Maybe next time you can give it a shot! Appreciate you watching!
Love the maintenance videos and yes Sir Rottela is the best I have a 2000 f350 with 401,585 miles on her. Pulled equipment and hay it’s whole life bought it new. Have changed oil with Rottela t4 every 4000 miles. Never had the valve covers off and yes they leak. How much oil does the 6060 hold
Rotella is great! The M6060 holds 15 quarts I believe of engine oil and 15 gallons of hydraulic oil. That’s why I don’t like changing the hydraulic oil as often. Appreciate you watching!
Hello there Ben!!! Great video buddy!!! Nice to see the maintenance getting done. How about that shop vac trick. Pretty neat!!! A great way to save some oil. Thanks for sharing that!!! Take care!!!
Thanks for that tip. I'll be trying it out tomorrow. Is there a reason why you use Kubota brand filters? Are they better than Wix filters? Thanks and God bless you!
It always so cool when do maintenance I like watching them and learning some new all the time, I see you got the chains on too is there ice under the snow, we have ice under our snow makes it a little slick, to move around on lol be careful out there
We didn’t get the big snow as predicted. I ran the chains for about an hour on Monday and took them off. Too rough of a ride on asphalt. I’ll put them back on if needed later. Appreciate you watching!
@@khtractors we got about 6in we’re supposed to get some rain this evening and turn in to snow tonight they another 4in and by Friday it’s going to get down to 3 degrees it been in the high teens at and high 20’s in the day I’ll be glad when spring gets here lol
Alright, I just did the vacuum trick on the hydraulic filter. Worked like a charm!! I might have lost 1/4 to 1/2 a cup, but nothing more! Thanks again Sir!
Man thanks for that tip! I’m about to do my first 50 hour service and watch a bunch of videos. In every one they lose a bunch of hydraulic fluid… I will be trying this tomorrow. You Sir have earned a subscriber!
I forgot to change my hydraulic filter at the 50hr service mark. I now have 100 hours. I'm having trouble with the 3 point not lifting and going down and yes my valve under the seat is open full. I'm hoping the filter change will fix this.
@@khtractors I did the vacuum trick and it works good. Changed the filters the 3 point goes up and down. I'll put the brush cutter on the back tomorrow and let you know. It wasn't going up and down with weight on it.
I've heard about this trick but never seen it done. Thanks for doing this, Ben!
It worked wonderfully! Thanks for watching!

I was very pleased with the vacuum outcome. The UDT is so expensive I try to avoid wasting any if possible. Thanks for watching!
That is a pretty slick idea especially with oil costs through the roof. Keep up the good work my friend!
Yes it worked awesome! Thanks so much for watching!
That was pretty cool, Ben. Ok so stupid question. Does the oil go into the vacuum?
No the fill port is high enough to keep the nozzle out of the oil. It works like holding your thumb over a straw and lift it out of your drink, the liquid stays in the straw until you move the thumb. Just creates a suction inside the housing. I was impressed with how good it did. Thanks for watching!
Am I losing my mind or does your intro change a little each time? I'm crazy, right? The vacuum trick seems pretty cool. Was there any oil in the shop vac when you were done? LOL.
No it doesn’t change. I need a new intro though. No oil in or on the vacuum 😆! Thanks for watching!
I'm sure disappointed in you
That’s good!
The fuel filter is in some tight quarters 😳🤷🏼♂️ and the vacuum tip was cool 👍🏻. Another great maintenance video Ben 🙂🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
Yes I don’t understand why they didn’t position the fuel filter better. It could have been so much easier. Thanks for watching!
Great job that’s what I have to do this weekend on my tractor I change the oil every 50 hours it’s due for next oil change great video enjoy watching them great job👍

It worked great! Normally oil comes gushing out, I loose 2 gallons in the best case scenario without the vacuum. Thanks for watching!

Normally that oil would gush out without the vacuum where the filters are mounted so low. I was pleasantly surprised! Thanks for watching!

I’ve been learning from the best, some guy named Dave, you might know him! We both need Rotella as a sponsor 🤣! Thanks for watching!

And when I did that I did the gas filters and the air cleaner just needs oil change now but I just try and take care of my machine

I'll have to try that shop vac trick, seems like everytime I change the hydraulic filters I lose at least a gallon of UDT and that stuff aiin;t cheap.
It’s worth trying for sure! Thanks for watching!

I was very happy with the shop vac solution! Appreciate you watching!
Thanks for that tip. I'll be trying it out tomorrow.
Is there a reason why you use Kubota brand filters? Are they better than Wix filters?
Thanks and God bless you!
The quality is hard to beat on Kubota filters. Just feel the weight difference of them bs other brands. Thanks
Hello Ben, good tip on the shop vac.
I was shocked at how well it worked! Appreciate you watching!
Hey Ben, I see you got some ice chains on. Great maintenance on the Kubota. That vacuum trick is pretty cool. Take care
The chains didn’t stay on long, to rough. The vacuum did great! Thanks for watching!
do you have a video showing radiator maintenance and filling?
No I’ve never done anything related to the coolant yet. Thanks
Thanks for the tip on the hydraulic oil
It works great! Thanks for watching!

@@joutdoorsmen23 yes next several days will be really cold at night. We may get some snow too tonight.
I Like the tractor
Thank you!
Any idea if this works when cleaning the hst screen on a bx?
It probably would because this was holding back 15 gallons of oil. It really surprised me how well it worked. Thanks for watching
That's some mad skills Ben.
Appreciate that! Take care!
Alright, I just did the vacuum trick on the hydraulic filter. Worked like a charm!! I might have lost 1/4 to 1/2 a cup, but nothing more! Thanks again Sir!
Awesome!
Man thanks for that tip! I’m about to do my first 50 hour service and watch a bunch of videos. In every one they lose a bunch of hydraulic fluid… I will be trying this tomorrow. You Sir have earned a subscriber!
I really appreciate you watching! Glad it helped.
I do the hydraulic filters and oil change at 200 hours just did that a little while ago
Going to try on my b2601
It worked great for me. Thanks
Did this on my M7060. Worked great lost maybe a cup full on fluid.
Yes it sure helps! Thanks for watching!
I forgot to change my hydraulic filter at the 50hr service mark. I now have 100 hours. I'm having trouble with the 3 point not lifting and going down and yes my valve under the seat is open full. I'm hoping the filter change will fix this.
I sure hope the filter change helps and you don’t have another issue. Let me know what you discover incase someone else has this issue. Thanks

It’s amazing! Thanks
