500 hour service JD2520

[farmeratheart]

I traded for a used 2008 JD2520 in 2012 when it had about 300 hours on it. The dealer had recently changed hydraulic fluid and coolant. I’ve kept up with oil changes and lubricants. I am now coming up on the 500 hour service mark and was wondering what else I should be checking ...
