B2401 50 hour service

[ultra97rider]

I am waiting on delivery of my new B2401. Looking ahead to the first service, does the manual transmission require a filter / fluid change? does the manual transmission have a filter?

Thanks In advance, John

The transmission and hydraulic system share the same fluid. There will be a filter. I believe the manual will recommend to change just the filter at 50 hrs.

No hydraulic oil or filter change until 200 hours. You do an engine oil change at 50. I hit a stump and bent my hydraulic oil filter at 60, so I basically did one then, but fluid and filter all looked brand new. Maintenance schedule is in the manual.

This will be a gear drive tractor I did not think that they shared the same hydraulic fluid as The Hydro drive? But being a new owner I am not sure.

It will.

Hi @ultra97rider you probably know this, now you have your B2401, but the transmission and hydraulics share the same oil/filter, and they don't have to be replaced until 400 hours.
