I have a ’14 850 XP EPS. I’ve had it a year and the majority of the hours it has was spent pushing snow in three different storms last winter. So it only has around 25-30 hours on it I believe. Everything is just like it came from the dealership.

So I need to do the first service. A local dealership said it required an oil and filter change and then just check over everything. Nothing else to change, just check stuff like the air filter, plug, etc.. He said he estimated $250-$275 max. :motz:

Then I called the dealership I bought it from which is about a two hour drive and they were better. Change the oil and filter, change the differential fluid, and check everything else. A two hour job and it would run $175.

If its just the oil and filter change, I’ll do it myself. But if anything else really needs to be done, I’m willing to spend the $175. My lawn maintenance business pays for the work. I just don’t really have the time right now to take an entire day driving down, waiting, and then driving back home. Maybe after Thanksgiving but not anytime soon.

Any advice so I can decide whether or not to do this myself would be much appreciated.
