Hydro fluid change

[Brian H]

I am at 800 hours on my 2018 MX5200 and the book says its due for a Hydro fluid change. I did the last one at 400 hours about 18 months ago and chnaged filters only at 50 hours per the owners manual. The fluid appears as clear as the day i changed it in the sight glass. Is it really necessary for another full fluid change every 400 hours at the price of kubota fluid, or could I get by with filters only for another 200 hours or so?

I dunno.

What's the cost of a transmission that lasts half as long as it should have?

Oil analysis. buy a quart and send in a sample of the new oil and a sample from the tractor. Results should give you the answers. Then post the results for good knowledge sharing.
