Ask your local hydraulic gurus about what they have available as a "Sock" that you drop into your sump, or a filter to scrub your tractor hydraulic system of the water that COLD starts, and operation in cold blowing snow conditions WILL inevitably accumulate. When you pull a level or drain plug and it hasn't got a magnet,....PUT ONE.
That's good stuff, Greg. There's a couple hydraulic shops that I pass by on my way to work. I'll have to stop by and have a chat with them.
The magnet is a no-brainer that I hadn't thought of.
While I'm not a stranger to tractors, this is the first I've owned, so I'm trying to make sure I do this thing right.
