Should I wait to Change my filter and Fluid?

[scsims]

I'm going to have an FEL and rear remotes installed on my tractor next week.

My tractor is due for it's 50hr service so I was planning on changing the UTF and filter today, but got to thinking would it be better to change it after the FET and remotes are installed or before?

Thanks,
Scott

yes, after. that way any contaminants introduced during the install are caught and removed.

Scott, I'd check my Operator's Manual closely. Most OEMs recommend a filter change at 50 hours to remove any manufacturing residue that may have collected in the filters. The actual fluid change is not needed until several hundred hours. You could be spending unneeded money.
