Default Re: 2305 break in and oil change

Hi:

On my 2305 my dealer (An old time dealer selling tractors for years) said it's better to wait until 75 or 80 hours to make sure all the seals are seated. I've heard that opinion elsewhere also.

One dealer who did my service did mention the 10 hour break in but he's the only one. The manual states nothing of this. I suppose it would make sense to get any metal particles out of the oil but anything of significant size the filter would catch anyway.
