Read articles →This is a hands-on maintenance walkthrough on a 2020 1023E/1025R, not a buyer's overview. It focuses on specific tricks: how to actually reach the front driveshaft U-joint grease fitting (not the hole everyone mistakes for it), lowering the quick-attach deck to access the oil filter, adjusting the loose diff-lock/brake linkage, and front axle fluid changes including breather bolts. Best for current owners doing their own service work.
