It covers pulling the loader and backhoe for access, changing engine oil and filters, hydraulic fluid and filter, the suction screen/magnet, air filter, and fuel filter, plus checking hydraulic pressure afterward. The owner also shares his own conclusions on future service intervals, useful for owners planning DIY maintenance.
Appears to be an owner-operator documenting DIY maintenance on his own 1025R, sharing personal opinions rather than dealer or manufacturer guidance.
He read online that doing it early can improve hydraulic flow or power since new hydraulics get more metal shavings early on, so he didn't want to wait the full 200 hours.
He removed the loader and backhoe mainly for easier access and filming, noting you likely cannot reach the rear hydraulic filter screen with the backhoe attached.
The engine takes exactly three quarts of oil, and the hydraulic system took about three and a half gallons of fluid during this service.
He plans to change engine oil every 100 hours since it gets dirty quickly, but will let the hydraulic fluid go about 200 hours before changing it again.
