So would your assumption be that the 500 hour service interval on McCormick and Valtra still includes a "significant margin"? Very interested to hear your thoughts and assumptions.
Quite possibly. I wouldn't extend those already long intervals more than a coupe of days though. It depends a lot on the type of work its done of course. If you've time to check the dipstick, you've time to undo the sump plug in my opinion.
Believe me when I say that a lot of tractors get services that are over 100 hours overdue. I've seen plenty of them. Seen immaculate-looking shining tractors where nobody thinks of even checking the oil level or clean the radiators and there's no oil even touching the dipstick.
