Just changed my Hydo oil

   / Just changed my Hydo oil #11  
my tractor is right on the 50hr service time.so im going to have it picked up pretty soon an have it serviced.an then change the oil every 100hrs.

I change engine oil every 100 hours, but only change HST fluid every 400 which comes out to about once a year or just a little longer.

ill change the hydro oil every 400hrs or when the book says.but motor oil i change every 100hrs.

It can be confusing, we have three Kubotas, one Massey Ferguson and a John Deere, so I have to check the manuals to keep track of the service intervals.

It is not a matter of money or time. Just following the manual. I was just surprised at the color of the used Hydo fluid.

In my Operator's Manual - Maintenance Service Intervals, Page 37

Engine Oil and filter
at first 50 hours - 200 hours - 400 hours then every 200 hours.

Transmission oil filter
at first 50 hours - 200 hours - 400 hours then every 200 hours.

Transmission fluid
at 400 hours then every 400 hours.

I seem to remember this being addressed in previous threads, but I can't remember the particulars. The HST fluid in my L5030 never gets dark and it is really hard to get a good reading on the dip stick.
