Just took delivery yesterday and will just play around today on it to get used to everything. Is there any break in period required on the engine, and after a few hours on it anything that needs to be double checked.
Break in Period

I recently got the same tractor, and my owner's manual indicates a 50 hour engine break in.
Did you get an owner's manual with your unit? If not, I would call the dealer and request one.

50 hours breakin at 80% power.
Then change oil, filter and trany filter.
Grease every 10 hours.

Would throttling 100 percent be all the way? Can you run the tractor with throttle buried?
My L4060 manual is quite generic in its break in description. “Do not operate tractor at full speed for the first 50 hours”, don’t start or stop quickly, don’t run the engine faster than necessary, etc.
I have paid particular attention to warming up my machines, varying throttle, and not using full throttle for the first 50h. That said, I suspect operating a new Kubota with some common sense is more than adequate during break in.
