kco,
I interpret the manual as saying everything (oil, hydraulic fluid, filters) get changed at 50hrs and then there's an engine oil & filter change at 100hrs.

I read the manual as saying the engine oil & filter is at every 100 hrs at the "100" mark. It didn't cross my mind to change the engine oil at 150hrs.

I did my oil, oil filter, fuel filter, transmission filter (HST), hydraulic filter @ 200 hrs.

BTW - the oil change is very easy. Just use a Kioti filter while you're under warranty....that way there's no question or doubts.

How does everyone interpret the manual? As someone said recently, Kioti doesn't do the best in explaining things in their manuals.

I did the 100 at 100 I was not sure what they meant but by doing it then I was sure that I was covered and it put the oil on even hundred increments.

I interpret it the same as you do. I use the chart on 7-4 & 7-5 in the owners manual. On very trusted advice, I did NOT change the hyd oil, just the filters, at the 50 hr (which I did late at 75 hrs). I also forgot to do the front axle.

So mine "needs" to have new HYD Oil (but not the filter), front axle oil, and engine oil. Plus all the zircs, torques, etc...

Looking at the manual now, the estimate from my dealer seems high, I wonder if he is changing different filters etc... Hmmm... Maybe I will just do it myself after all...

Be well,
David

Just passed 100 hours on my tractor also. 1 very small bend on the front right bottom panel from a piece of fire wood [easily fixed] and broke my antenna off. Not so easily fixed, plastic roof! are you kidding me. CJ

Do it yourself, if you have any questions p/m me.
