L3430 service advice

[mcnitt]

Tidbits-
I have a 2006 L3430 FST with about 275 hours on the clock, also with filled tires. I use it on my hilly, heavily forested 40 acres in the Sierra Nevada foothills. It does everything I ask of it - plenty of power, no maintenance issues, and the only thing that has gone wrong were two flat tires. It's a great tractor. How about posting some photos of yours once you get all that work done?

Good to hear that mcnitt. I'll definately post some pics when I'm done. Got the hyd and oil changed this afternoon. All is going well. But, I found I have a quick release coupler that needs replacing...the ball bearings that set into the grooves are rusted and only a few of the balls move freely. But that's another thread. I love the 3130. Can't wait to get to some real work with it.

Just a little nit to pick - UDT is not hydraulic fluid, it is transmission fluid. There are high impact additives that protect the gears. Straight hydraulic fluid is intended as the working fluid in pumps with only incidental lubricating qualities.
