hi there lost odeassy, we normally service like this 1) engine oil & filter, fuel filters and check over every 250hrs 2) transmission & axles every 1000hrs 3) hydraulic oil every 2000hrs. Also check your air in-take filter every service and change every 1000hrs or before if working in dusty condictions. The oils we use are, #Engine oil 15w/40w #transmission ATF 3000 #Axle hd 30 #Hydraulic Nuto 32 These oils may vary for your environment i should have a manual about some were to varify this for you, hope this helps and i'l let you know if theres anything esle you need to know!

Have you tried a direct contact with JCB and asked the same questions ?
All the JCB tele's I have been around run hot in the desert. Cooling system just not quite enough for + 100 F days. Roading is the worst, no time at all till its hot.
