2538 50/100 hour

I changed oil at 50 hours. I am now at 100 and called my dealer for recommend service parts.

Parts he recommended:

only one of the fuel filters (hoping it is the easier one to get to)
1 hydro filter
1 hydraulic filter
gear lube for front axle
oil change
hydraulic/transmission fluid

Said just blow out the air filter, let all fluids drain for a couple hours or more if possible, check all bolts you can and find the grease zerks and you should be good to go. $334 for parts/fluid. He is dropping it off at my house as he has to stop by and do a software update.

Not sure if anyone cares but I know I liked comparing notes to others so I figured I would through my $.02 in the pot.

I liked the ' stop by and do a software update ' part..

I did not know they were doing that offsite. Good to know, thanks...!!!!

That's the way it should be. There is no real reason whatsoever to have to haul a tractor into a dealership just to reflash an ECU. It's a super simple procedure that takes only a few minutes to accomplish. Lift hood, plug computer or programming device into the OBDII port, download new code, unplug computer or programmer, close hood, start tractor to see that everything is as it should be and you're DONE.
