I'm not at home right now, but I just read it this weekend because I'm getting close, and I'm sure that the CK25/CK30 service manual has you replacing all three filters, the Hyd oil, the engine oil, and the front axle oil.
CK30 50 hr service question

Gear tractors may not require the hyd oil and filter changes
at 50hr. The HST CKs clearly state on the tractor to change
HST filter, hyd filter, and oil at 50hr and every 200hr hence.

50 hrs and then each 200? So at 250 I should have dumped the hydraulic oil? Uh oh, I need to check that out.

The manual has mistakes. It says for HST, chg oil at 50hr and every
200hr after that, but the table puts chgs at 50hr, 200hr, 400hr, etc.
It should be 50hr, 250hr, 450hr, etc. It also says 50hr and 400hr for
you guys with gear trannies (see # 5 on p 9-2).
For the motor, it says chg eng
oil at 50, 100, 200, 300.... It should say 50, 150, 250,.... Filters every
other oil change? Not on any vehicle of mine......

Yes, I agree on BS for the every other oil change change the filter bit. The oil filters are cheap. I also call BS on washing a paper air filter but that air filter is 50$ and gets dirty fast. I might have missed my HST oil change interval so I will be looking into it. Thanks for the reminder, I did change the HST and hydro filters at 200 hours though.

So as not to get anyone worried as I was, my manual for the CK30HST calls for trans fluid CHANGE at 50 and then 400, 800, and every 400 therafter. At 50, 200, 400, 600, 800 and every 200 thereafter the filter only needs to be changed.
Phew, I thought I had missed an interval and I am a maintenance freak. I even change the brake fluid in my truck every two years.

Yeah, technically page 9-2 does not differentiate betw trans types.
The sticker under the seat and the manual only talk about filter changes
for the HST & hyd, not fluid. That would mean at 50, 450, 850hr for fluid.

Well, i'm doing the 50 hour now. in my kit was a hyd filter (this is a ck30 gear) and I changed it. They said I would loose a small amount of fluid, but it was less than a cup. I did not change the fluid per their recomendations.
Here's another one....bleeding the fuel line. Kioti tech says I have to change filter, set petcock to air, run 30 seconds, stop, and set petcock to open. He also says I have to open a screw vent on the injector pump during that 30 second run, then close it. There is nothing in my manual about the screw valve, although he says it's in his manual. What gives? I'll hold off on that till I get some input from you guys on that. Well, on to the air filter, checking torques, and greasing.
Oh the 274 ft lb rear wheel lug torque has got to be an error...but we established that a while back. I'll do a search on that one.
