Yup......

I had a discussion with my 75 year uncle one time ....... "I have over 10,000 rounds of ammo - I am ready for anything that breaks into my house!" I asked how many magazines you have ready? "I have just one - I said are you going to ask them to stop - as you reload that one mag???????

I think I am in better shape than your uncle.
I have a bunch of mags (5.56) at various capacities.
Only total 2.000 rounds though.

Stripper clips or magazines?

Stripper clips or magazines?

Picture only showed two "clips"......no strippers, and no magazines.

1. 5 hours is far to early. Your money and your tractor, but I wouldn't.
2. Running at low revs isn't practical when breaking in. Your tractor needs to run WOT for applications like lawn mowing and running a PTO implement. To me it's more about not loading it too hard - don't try to mow standing hay with it, don't put a chipper on the back and feed it a 3 inch log. You can't really avoid running at full revs though, some jobs require full revs. But full revs is still only 2800-ish. It's not like you're going out in a car and driving down the road at 6,500 rpm.
3. I use Kubota oil and filters. They cost about the same as quality other brands, my dealer is reasonably close, and they have all the parts I need in stock without me having to think. When I looked online at diesel engine oils, a reasonable quality oil cost a bit more than my dealer is selling the same for. For cars and trucks filters are high volume items, and I'm reasonably confident that a good quality filter that says it matches will actually match. For a tractor.....not confident at all it'll match, and even less confident anyone other than a tractor dealer would have it in stock.
4. Home defence. Get a dog or two. In my country presenting a weapon to a burglar will get me in jail. My dog biting someone on my property won't have any negative consequences for me at all.

In Florida, if a burglar (someone displaying hostile intent) enters my house, I have the right to shoot him..... and I will!
How do I know that he just wants to take/steal stuff?
At 82, should I politely ask first, if he intends to do me bodily harm?
My Labrador Retriever wants to be friends with everyone.

I buy Baldwin filters, for tractors, on line.
They get delivered to my door free of charge.
Never a fitment issue.
YMMV in NZ.

For an old guy........9mm.....it has a very manageable recoil for old arthritic hands.
Though "in home".......a 12GA buckshot is preferred.

Old painless is waiting...

I never have understood the "use Kubota filters" thing!
I have never used Ford filters on my Fords,
Nor GM filters on my GM's, or MB filters on my MB's.

My thought, is to simply buy a quality brand name filter.
Wix (NAPA is the same), Fleetguard, Baldwin, Mann, Bosch, etc.

You may experience difficulty resolving a warranty claim if you are using something other than the recommended Kubota filters and parts.

A warranty claim?
On my 2006 Kubota L48 TLB?
On my 1989 Ford 1920 FEL?
On my 1951 Ford 8N?
I am not even slightly concerned!
