B3200 TLB 50 hour service question..

50 hours is overkill! I have logged thousands of hours on my botas and they all have been serviced (1st) at around 150 hours. My dealer told me he knows people that have NEVER changed the hydraulic oil and have never had tranny problems?

I'm sure that's true, but a chance I'm not willing to take on a $17,000 tractor. A Ben Franklin here and there is good insurance.

If you ever looked at the fluid and screen at 50hrs, you'd see why that change is needed. I guess you could get away with it. Whatever floats your boat.
