From my understanding, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act says that a manufacturer can't void a warranty if you do the work yourself or if you use non-branded like for like replacement parts e.g. filters.

Not to hijack this post but it was noted that the hydraulic fluid is not changed at 50 hour service even though the hydraulic filter and I believe suction filter are. I'm coming up on a 50 hour service in a couple months on mPower 75 and wondering if it is worth changing out hyd/trans with the filter change even though not required?

I have no experience but manufactures are extra conservative in their services, IMHO, to give dealers more service business/money. If the manufacturer doesn't recommend it I don't think there would be any benefit at all. I would look at the filters hard for any shavings but that's about all the extra work I would do.

I have been to too many dealers who did not do the work but claimed to have done the work and charged be for it..[/QUOTE ]

I knew a shop that bragged about getting paid for first oil changes and never did them
He claimed that the oil was still good- so why waste it.
(not a tractor dealer) And not a person that I had much respect for either.
He'd also make warantee claims on every 2nd or 3rd item sold as a matter of course.
Also did not believe in paying taxes. Charged full price for used parts etc.
Takes all kinds.

The only garage I go to is the one that lets me 'in the pits', so to say.
I don't mind helping or dirty hands but sure want someone that digs to find the actual problem and not replace parts until a problem finally gets fixed.

Just dropped the 4025 off for the 50 hr. Completed bill? $500.27 This did not include the hydraulics, which the dealer said isn't changed at 50 hr's. SHNIKIES!!

I just looked at the service chart for you tractor. I hope you got reach around. The only thing that needed service @ 50hr is the sump screen. The other stuff was just multi point inspection, bolt torques, fluid top off and lube. 100 hr is you fluids and some filters. I've done lots of 50 hr services. I very rarely have to change an air filter @ 50hr. I'd ask for a copy of the service chart from the dealer and compair it to you bill.:thumbsup:

Strongly recommend you see the service chart for you tractor yourself so the work performed is as per Mahindra. Its a hard call as far as changing fluids at 50hr. We all know the idea is to get the particulate from break in out of the trans case. I do see some,very fine, in the pan when I drain it out. most is caught in the sump screen.:thumbsup:

I just got a new 2555 this week and upon looking at my maintenance Schedule it states the following are to be changed at 50 hours: Engine Oil, Oil Filter, Transmission oil, Hydraulic oil filter, Oil of the 4wd front axle, and grease each nipple. is there a chance that Mahindra has changed their recommended Maintenance Schedule?

My emax25 hst has the same service schedule (I think they're both tym tractors). Dealer wanted $500, I did it myself in a couple hours for around $150. The only pita was changing the hydro filter.

Does the $500 also include pickup and delivery of the tractor, or was that only for the filters, oil, and labor?
