Once you are past the 100 hr break in oil change there is no problem using Rotella. It is a good choice.
What is wrong with Rotella before 100 hr? The poster was not asking about the synthetic. I always use Rotella and it is what I put in on the initial 50 hr change. I have never had a lick of trouble from any of my engines using Rotella.
I believe that JD wants you to run their break in oil for 100 hrs before changing.
The poster did not specify the hours on his unit just called it new. So I assumed it is new.
Thanks for info and the tractor is new and wanted to make sure everything is ok as this is the oil i ran in my old jd650 and never had any trouble but was just checking. As far as changing the oil at 50 hr i am one of those people that feels better when i change the oil early on a new machine. If it is a waste or not makes me feel better.

I believe the JD literature describes changing the oil in the Yanmar diesel at the 50 hours mark the first time.

My mistake, my experience with JD engines is there large diesels which they require you to run at least 100 hrs on the breakin oil.
And no I do not think it is a big deal to change it early. Most engines now do not even require break in oil anymore. JD is one if the few.
