I think you are on the right track. My only 2 cents are first filter change. My HST filters were gross, as in lots of "gunk" caught on the filters magnet, at the 50 hr mark.

I usually don't run at anything less then 2000. During cold starts (Below -10C) maybe tease the throttle just over 1000 and engage PTO to get oil flowing. Running close to the rated RPM seems to work for me in all uses, plowing snow, loader work or mowing. Thanks for your time

Hey there, I can speak about the BX52s I own. I do chip pine branches and smaller <1" branches, leaves etc. There is a couple times it seems to not get the smaller stuff but usually I try and chase small material with a larger tree (3'' to 5'') to "flush" the chipper and haven't had any issues...
