Compact sub compact?

Per owners manual on my tiny tym rk rebrand tractor first extensive service is at fifty hours than every few hundred or so hrs. Anyone remember when most new things required a break in service requiring fluid and filters? My Yamaha outboard requires a pretty extensive 20 hr break in servicing.

Every 50 hours, or just first 50 hours? I can’t recall another machine with an oil filter that required every 50 hour engine oil changes. That’s normally just walk-behinds with single-cylinder engines.

Just the first 50hrs. Then it's something like every 200hrs for engine oil and longer for trans and front axle. I don't have the book near me at the moment.

Ok. That's normal. Like jjeff said, "break-in service". Gets rid of the assembly lube and the first several hours of everything seating in.
