Just dropped the 4025 off for the 50 hr. Completed bill? $500.27 This did not include the hydraulics, which the dealer said isn't changed at 50 hr's. SHNIKIES!!

What did they change? That is why I never pay a dealer to do anything.

Engine oil, Oil filter, Outer air filter, Fuel filter, torqued wheels and loader bolts. May have cleaned the hydraulic screen? I'll have to ask when I pick it up Thurs. Dealer is 75 miles away, and I'm working 12s today and tomorrow. Figured I'd let the dealer do the first to ensure the warranty stayed intact.

I did my own 50 hour service - dealer is 30 miles away. I changed ALL fluids & filters except fuel filter. As I remember the bill for fluids & filters was around $400.

Didn't the hydraulic fluid make up for most of that? The dealer didn't change his hydraulic fluid.

Don't change hydraulic fluid at 50 hrs.

I paid $170 for the three filters I need for the MX and I'll buy 5 gal of dello because the truck uses it too so probably be in ~$250 for my 50 hr. Shop time adds up quick when your checking tourque on 75-100 bolts in addition to changing filters and oil.

Only paid for one service ever, never again.

I just paid $2700.00 CDN for brakes and service on my GMC 3500. I am still in shock! I drove cars that didn't cost that much. It's just the age we live in and the devaluation of our currency.

Try and not think of it as OUCH but more like insurance...part of owning tractor.

Not to hijack this post but it was noted that the hydraulic fluid is not changed at 50 hour service even though the hydraulic filter and I believe suction filter are. I'm coming up on a 50 hour service in a couple months on mPower 75 and wondering if it is worth changing out hyd/trans with the filter change even though not required?

I have been to too many dealers who did not do the work but claimed to have done the work and charged be for it.

I try very hard to avoid any dealer.
