Regular maintenance for the John Deere F135H and F145H includes checking and tightening all bolts and nuts, lubricating moving parts, inspecting and replacing worn blades, and ensuring the hydraulic systems are free from leaks and operational.
To adjust the plow depth on the John Deere F145H, locate the depth adjustment lever or wheel, usually found near the plow's frame. Adjust it according to the desired depth and ensure the plow is level for even furrows.
If the hydraulic system is not working, first check the hydraulic fluid level and refill if necessary. Inspect hoses and fittings for leaks or damage, and ensure the hydraulic pump is operational. Consult the manual for specific troubleshooting steps or contact a professional if the issue persists.
To increase the lifespan of the moldboards, ensure they are cleaned after each use to prevent rust. Sharpen them regularly for efficient plowing, and store the plow in a dry, covered area to protect from environmental elements.
To replace worn blades, first ensure the plow is securely positioned. Remove the bolts or fasteners holding the old blades in place, then attach the new blades, ensuring they are aligned correctly and securely fastened.
Uneven plowing can be caused by incorrect plow leveling or uneven tire pressure. Ensure the plow is level and adjust the hitch settings. Check tire pressure and adjust to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Always read the operator's manual before use. Wear appropriate protective gear, ensure all shields and guards are in place, and never allow passengers on the equipment. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid operating on steep slopes.
Perform a thorough inspection at the beginning and end of each season. Additionally, check the plow before each use to ensure all components are in good working condition.
If the plow is leaving unturned soil, check the sharpness of the blades and the correct angle of the moldboards. Adjust the hitch settings to ensure the plow is operating at the correct depth and angle.
Ensure the plow is properly maintained, with sharp blades and well-lubricated moving parts. Adjust the plow settings according to soil conditions and regularly check for wear and tear on critical components.
