I'd drain the factory filled hydraulic oil from the front axle and refill with actual gear oil at 50 too.
That is included in the list of maintenance (for the 1st 50hrs only) in the manual that came with my CT2025 (Dec 2025).I'd drain the factory filled hydraulic oil from the front axle and refill with actual gear oil at 50 too.
You may consider re-reading the Operation and Safety manual carefully.My manual doesn't say anything about engine oil until 400. I'm going to change engine oil and filter at 50. If you don't put many hours on it should you replace it yearly like all gasoline motors? This is my first diesel. It could take a couple years to get 400 hours depending on how often it's used. The manual doesn't say a time frame other than 400 hours, for example for coolant it says every 1000 hours OR 24 months. What are you all doing/ thinking on the time vs hour front for engine oil?
Same here. I think they updated the manual after we bought our respective tractors.My manual doesn't say anything about engine oil until 400. I'm going to change engine oil and filter at 50.

Nope my tractors brand new and I can confirm, as I said it does not mention oil and filter change euntim the every 400 hour part. But good to know they have updated it. Thanks for replying with thatYou may consider re-reading the Operation and Safety manual carefully.
In the PDFs attached above, it clearly states: Every 100 hrs, change oil & oil filter.
Every 100 hours means in addition to the recommendations @ 200, 300, 400, etc hrs.

Do you mean they supply a maintenance guide? Or that they do the 50 hour mainenances for you for free?Bobcat does for no charge to you.Had it done in May.
