Sounds like my dealer when i got my 50 hours on my 3130DT it was like $550.00 and they even charged me for shop rags, With my 5030 i am going to do it my self.
Cheesehead, your prices seem right in line with the what I paid, except the dealer charges, I did it myself. I'm doing my 200 hour this week, about $130: 3 filters (oil, HST & hydraulic) and motor oil only. The good thing is that you don't have to change out your UDT again till hour 400!
Although I haven't made it to 50 hour service yet, my dealer told me around $300 as well. He does charge extra for the pickup / delivery, but offers 50% discount on it if you purchased the tractor from him. I plan on taking it to him myself, as he is about 45 minutes away. Even with the 50% off, it is still alot of money.

Is your 5030 different than the smaller tractors? It is hard to change HST and Hydraulic filters without losing oil from the transmission. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
