Check tire inflation levels. Ensure wheels are properly aligned and that the towing hitch on the tractor is not obstructed. Lubricate wheel bearings if necessary.
Tipping mechanism is stiff or not functioning smoothly
Inspect the tipping mechanism for any obstructions like dirt or debris. Clean the mechanism and ensure the pivot points are free to move. Apply a lubricant if needed.
Wheels feel wobbly or unstable
Verify that the lug nuts securing the wheels to the hubs are tightened. Check that the needle bearings are correctly seated and lubricated via the grease zerks.
Polypropylene deck shows signs of wear
While the deck is durable, avoid dragging sharp or abrasive materials that could scratch or gouge the surface. Clean regularly to prevent staining.
