Hello guys, I've noticed the last few times I've cranked up that there is a little blue smoke coming out of a round canister to the rear of the muffler. It only lasts about 30 seconds while it warms up then stops. Tractor runs great. What's going on?

It's condensation (white) plus oil (blue) burning off as the engine warms up. Wash the filter material inside the canister- diesel fuel works good - and you can get rid of the blue part. The white part is normal. Given that I used my tractors year round, I washed it twice a year; spring and fall. If you're a seasonal user, you can probably get by washing it annually.
