What’s the best way to clear sludge out the back end, hydros and pump can I flush it out with red and run the tractor with the red in the side to try clear the pump out

Or paraffin ??

I used paraffin in a little knapsack to flush the hydro tank on my chipper, i didn't want to put water in there.
Seemed to work, i reckoned the tiny amount of kero left in was better than the shite that was there or water from the karcher. :unsure::unsure::unsure::unsure:

Don't use paraffin (kerosene) on it's own if you're going to run it as there's no lubrication in it. A mix of diesel and kero put in with the old oil,run it a while,drain and refill with new SUTO.
