I performed my 50 hour service at 56 hours. I replaced the engine oil and filter and both hydraulic filters. Engine oil filter part # is E6201-32443. I bought a 5 gallon pail of engine oil so I can do 2 oil changes.
The hydraulic filter part # is T5710-38031. i also purchased 2.5 gallons of hydraulic oil just in case.
Changing the engine oil and filter went smooth. When changing the hydraulic filters I removed the transmission dipstick and put my shop vac hose over the opening and turned it on. The suction kept it there. I then removed the filters one at a time and only a small amount of oil came out of the filters. None from the tractor side. Also the shop vac did not suck any oil out, just kept it suspended. I did not have to add any hydraulic oil.
I then proceeded to hit all the grease points. Checked the wheel lugs and loader bolts. Checked the brake and clutch travel. Cleaned screens for the radiator and checked the air filter and front axle fluid.
At this point my tractor is just shy of 60 hours operation and I am less than 1 month from owning the tractor for a full year. My impressions so far. I don't know how I lived without a self leveling loader. I love the SSQA system for the loader. Makes changing stuff easy. I also like the telescoping lower links and 3 point lever at the rear.
I honestly don't have anything bad to say about my tractor. Although I wish I didn't have to spend money on a new tractor, having a brand new tractor that no one has jacked up and Frankensteined is pretty nice. So far, concern over emissions has been a nothing burger. It has done a few regens but no issues otherwise. I just added a second rear remote and will do a write up on the installation soon. Hope you find this interesting.
