Fellow TN owners. Did you or do you plan to wait 1200 hours to change the hydraulic lift and transmission fluid in your TN as the manual specifies? The manual does specify changing the filter at 50 hours and then every 300 hours. Just wondering what others are doing. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I change all my filters and fluids every spring. I put on about 150 hours a year on the TN and 60 on the 1920.

I saw that in my manual, too. I wasn't sure if it was a misprint or not - 1200 hours seems like an awfully long time to keep the same trans/hydraulic fluid in there... I'm planning to do a full fluid/filter change by 50 hours, and then change the hydraulic fluid at least annually after that.
