1,000 Hour Mark

[Will_C]

My BX 2200 just reached the 1,000 hour mark. I bought her new in April 2000. Total maintainence: 17 oil changes, 4 major services (50,300,600,900 hours), power steering hoses replaced, air filter bracket replaced, fuel tank and three point hitch recalls, fuel sending unit replaced. Noy bad!! I'm hoping for a 1,000 more hours. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You do your own oil changes? Service ?

Why so many oil changes? Is an oil change every 50 hours recommended for that model? I change oil every 250-350 hours on my tractor.

17 oil changes? Yikes! the oil you drain must be clear as water!

So, why do you change the oil so often? Is this a commercial machine?

I change the oil every 50 hours. Kubota recommends 100 hours for oil change interval. I suppose you could say what I do is excessive, but I am 42 and have never had an engine repair on any engine, and that includes cars that had 100,000 plus miles on them. I like the piece of mind this gives me. My only advice that I have is the same as I give for any equipment: use gently, meet or exceed all maintainence intervals, repair any problems promptly, and keep it clean.
