First time tractor owner , bought the used tractor at 550 hours. Is $960 a heavy price?
Thanks.

I did the same thing…they came to my house and did the 600 hr service
I think I paid $1200

Does it include the engine oil change or only transmission oil ?

I am wondering about hydraulic oil too ? is it separate?

You should post what was done, or better, the actual invoice(black out your address info of course ).
That way we can SEE what parts were bought, hrly rate, etc.

As a starting point your tractor holds 15g of hydraulic oil. Going price for Kubota UDT is roughly $30/gallon = $450. Probably another $200 plus for Kubota filters all around and your engine oil of choi,ce = $650. I can easily see it costing $700 for a DIY service with OEM filters and fluids. Maybe half that if you use third party fluids and filters.

Does that help?

7 filters and 15+ gallons of oil costs me CDN$1000 and I have to do the labour myself.

If you feel ripped off then stop wasting money on oil changes and filters. Stick it to the man.

Stick it to the man.

I don't think he was bitching, just asking.

IMHO, With that much in just materials, its sound like a pretty good price actually.

Thank you, Kubota Manual says engine oil at 400 hours, I would have easily said yes if they offer Engine oil.
The lady didnt respond to my question.

The manual for my M6060 doesn't have much required at the 600 hour mark. No fluids, no filters, not much really. So what is the dealership going to do for $960?

If they're going to do a 500 hour service (assuming your M is on the same schedule as mine), you'd be getting hydraulic and engine oil, hydraulic oil filter, engine oil filter and fuel filter.
