Price Check First fluid change and workup

[Brutus51]

I have a BX 2360 with about 70 hours on it and I know it's past due for its first work up. What's a good price to have all the fluids changed and it looked over?

Save your money and do it yourself,its not that hard and there are plenty of members on here that can walk you through it and by doing it yourself you will feel better about it and also learn a little more about your tractor.:cool2:

I am completely fine with doing it by myself but I was worried about voiding the warranty. Is that an issue or as long as I document what I do and what I use does that make it ok!!

We did our initial and subsequent maintenance with one exception when I was too sick to do it and our dealer said to just keep the reciepts for fluids and parts and there would be no problems. Here are a couple of links that might help:

Read the threads posted by TripleR and do your own. It will help you understand your tractor a bit better and you will probably do a better job than the dealer since it's your machine and you'll pay more attention to what your doing. Dealers don't usually assign standard filters and fluid changes service to their highest paid mechanic.

just check the ft axle/diff levels a few times after a few hrs of use after change...takes time for fluid to settle. may have to top off.... maybe even the hyd levels as well.
