Roadmaster98; The 50 hr. service is the most important service interval of your tractors life. No matter who the manufacturer, bits of steel shavongs, sand from the molds etc can escape the cleanup at the factory. $500. bucks sounds a bit steep. I've always been an advocate of using only the fluids and filters sold by the dealer specific for your brand (Kubota= Kubota oils and filters/Deere = Deere oils and filters, etc.). If you are physicaly able and mechanicly inclined enough to change the oil in your pickup, your dealer and your owners manual will guide you thru it easily. Best of luck. Frank. ....

But it taught me it was much dryer to drain the fluid first.
Following up on Hardwood, I rather change my tractor than a pickup, easier access. As Hardwood said, I would change the fluid. kt ....

Agreed, 50 hr svc is important, personally I'd buy the fluids and filters from the dealer, keep the receipts and do the job myself and save the labor, which it 60% of dealer estimates, receipts prove up if warranty issue comes up in the future. ....
