I just billed out 3 services on Deere wheel loaders, a 644K Hybrid, 624K and a 744H. The K series are 500 hour services and the 744H is 250 hours. The oil and filters alone came to just under $2000.00 which I think is absolutely absurd. The machines are used in a topsoil operation so not being worked hard but it is a dusty environment. I use Plus 50 Deere oil and Deere filters and I'm wondering about looking at doing oils samples and going with extended service intervals. I'm just wondering what others are doing? Are there good cost savings to be had by going this way? Looking for information to point me in the right direction. TIA
