Tractor is in a Standen solo beet and in annual use harvesting the fodder beet here.
Every year the filter suction warning light comes on and every year I have to change the transmission oil and the filter and clean the bypass strainer gauze.
I replaced the gear lever boots to stop water getting in a few years ago and each time I change the oil there appears to be less and less water contamination but even so, having to change the filter when only doing maybe 50 hours a year seems a bit excessive. The machine is never left out in the rain.
I am using 15w 30 universal tractor oil. It's a vapormatic paper element filter. Am I doing something wrong?
