Snowing today !!

[BobsMassey]

It has been nice a few days a week here for the last few weeks, with that I was able to get some work done !! But now it's Snowing !!! What a bite ! Approaching the 50hr mark !! Already ! Should I change the hydro oil along with the filter or just the filter???

A lot of threads here about that issue. My manual clearly states the fluids and filters at 50 hours. Couple hundred bucks is cheap insurance to maintain my huge investment IMHO.

Lot's of back and forth on that discussion. All... all - fluids and filters? Is that about 10 gallons on your DK40SE with the hydro tranny?

Ya, somewhere around 10 gal. Two buckets at $75 a piece from TSC. Done. The tough part is the filters have to be OEM, nobody makes replacement hydraulic filters for Kioti. Filters are as much as the oil!

Should've had the 1st fluid and filter change included in the purchase !!! Too bad they probably wouldn't do it ! I plan on going to TSC for the oil and hydro fluids and then the dealer for the filters unless someone can tell me if napa may have the filters for a MF 1529 ?

You can get a oil filter for your 1529 but not a hydro filter. Wont really save much.

Thanks DarrylH20 ,

Well I bought the oil & hydro filters $101 !!!! $90 for the hydro filter alone !!! Went to TSC for the fluids another $100 !! It's getting to be expensive !! With no labor hours just my time !!!!!

Thats why i cant wait for a aftermarket hydro filter. Thats just to much.
