3016 HST 50 hour service

[dnelson60]

I was starting the process of getting all the needed parts and fluids for my upcoming 50 hour service. I went thru the owner's manual for all of the required fluids and filters. I was on the last item (hydraulic fluid) when I notice the manual says to only change the engine oil and filter at 50 hours and the wait until 100 hours for the rest of the fluids.

My questions are:
1) does anyone else's manual state the same thing (question more for CUT HST owners)?

2) would it be wise to go ahead and change the hydraulic fluid and filters at 50 hours with the rest or would I just be wasting $$$ ?:confused2:

Any help or recommendations would be welcome as this is my first tractor.

Being the first change is probably the most important, I would change the hyd fluid and filters at 50, but I wouldn't loose any sleep over it if you wait until 100 hrs.

That is kind of what I was thinking as well. That way I could also get all the fluids and filters on the same change basis of 100 hours marks.
Some are 100, some 200 and some 300. I think in the long run, it will help me remember to do all of the required maintenance.

Thank you for your input.
