Read articles →An owner-operator discovers mid-job that the B2301's 200-hour service is lighter than expected, then decides to go ahead and do the 400-hour service anyway, changing engine oil, HST filter, fuel filter bowl, and hydraulic/transmission fluid via all three drain plugs. The video is candid and unpolished (phone died partway through), but it shows actual drain plug locations that are hard to find in the manual. Best for B2301/B2601 owners preparing for their first major fluid service.

At 200 hours you get engine oil, engine oil filter, HST filter, plus greasing, bolt torque checks, air filter cleaning, fan belt adjustment, brake check, and toe-in adjustment. No hydraulic filter or transmission fluid change.
The 400 hour service is where you change the transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid, and front axle case oil, in addition to the items covered at 200 hours.
There are three drain plugs. One is up by the mid-mount PTO and another is back near the rear differential, which the manual does not make easy to locate.
No, the engine may die when first started but will start after cycling it once or twice. You do not need to prime it like older engines.
