My L3302DT Kubota turned one year in September and only has 10hrs on it. My kubota local shop wants $650-$1000 for the service. I want the warranty to be good, but my question is can I wait another year for service? I only use for maintenence on 800' driveway and snow removal. We did not get any accumulation and was not run in dirty conditions. Oil dipstic looks good.
First 50 hour service question
- Thread starter rkh Kubota
- Start date
I wouldn't rush to service it. I would wait another year.
10 hrs/1 yr old.... there are dozens of machines sitting on my dealers lot, new and waiting for their first owner, with more age and hours and they will never make a service on these machines.

A lot of the the first service is "check this / check that".
I would take the opportunity to do the checks and get more acquainted where everything is.
And give every grease fitting a shot of grease.

If you have the time and tools, check the torque on the wheel lug nuts, loader, etc.
One of my front wheel lug nuts was stripped out by the dealer. Warranty replaced at 50 hr dealer - done maint. I found the stripped lug nut before taking it in.
Check your owner's manual and abide by it to keep your warranty valid.
$650 to $1,000 is a wide margin.

For what it’s worth, you can do the service yourself with the most basic Walmart “my first tool set” and a device with YouTube as guidance.
It doesn’t get much easier than a 50hr service.
