Mx5100 service questions

[djzander]

roughly whats the cost for the 50 hour service.

oil for engine, oil filter for engine, hydraulic oil, 2 hydraulic filters, fuel filter, oil for front axle.
Did I miss anything?

cost of materials?
do you guys use all Kubota filters for everything?
what about the hydraulic oil and front axle oil , use Kubota or?

what if the dealer does the service, what would that run?

I don't remember exact price, but I did my 4800 for like $75 or so. Filter, oil, grease purchased from dealer. It took me less than an hour and most of that was waiting for oil to drain.

Of course you are going to use Kubota filters! Using aftermarket filters is the easy way out for the warranty to be rejected by Kubota/dealer.

If you do the service with super udt all fluids, filters if it's hydrostat? $400.00 is real close number. Add 2.5-3 hrs for a proper 50 hr check over plus disposal fees and washing the unit.

And additional note worth mentioning here. Doesn't really affect the MX5100, but it does affect ALL of the common rail tractors (MX5200, L3301/3901/4701, etc).

Kubota has been testing fuel filters. They have determined through testing that the aftermarket filters do not filter nearly as well as the Kubota filters do. In other words, the Kubota filter will filter down to I think 5 microns, where other filters will only go down to, let's say 20 microns for example. If this is the case (which I'm told it is), then Kubota doesn't have to stand behind a warranty repair if an aftermarket fuel filter is used.

That's what I am told. You'll have to call your dealer for further details. Applies only to CRS (common rail system) engines as I recall.

yes, its a hydrostatic drive. I'll stick with all Kubota filters oil etc.
So $400. with Kubota stuff , If I go cheap on the hydro oil maybe $300.
You know your going to be mixing the oil because your not getting it all out. Too big a investment for me to save $100 going with aftermarket. If theres a Issue I won't be second guessing myself!
Thanks
