50 hours are nothing, if you have clean diesel and use proper plastic cans. One og my tractors went 15 years and 500h on the same filters.
On my van I changed at 130000km but it no difference so it wasn't clogged.

Read your manual and change as recommended.

The manual says change it @ 50hrs, and the manual also says first change at 200 hours. That's why the question.

The only logical reason for this are the possibility for remains from production of the tank. Seen new tanks full of remains after welding and for those operating the snowblower in this case i saw had hard time keeping it running.

whenever you do...if it's a can filter, it's best to fill the new filter with fuel before you screw it back on.

Is it necessary to change the fuel filter at the 50 hour service?

No, according to the manual you don't have to change it until I think 200hrs. I just did my 100hr service, and only cleaned the original filter out. It did need that.

The inside front cover page of my manual says to replace the fuel filter at the initial 50 hours.
page 74 says replace at 200 hours.

Service manual says change every 200hrs. I didn't touch it at the 50hr service, cleaned it at the 100hr service, will change it at 200hrs.

That's because you have a different tracter.
