Just curious if there is anything I should be weary of, or look for before or after I send my machine into the dealer for its first service?

When I picked it up new it had 2hrs and 4 miles on it. Now it has 21hrs and 98.7 miles.

I babied it for the first 35 to 50 miles, but have drove it and used it as I want since. I have not experienced anything out of the ordinary except how tippy it is and I believe it stems from needing an alignment and the crap stock soft tires.

I have been doing a lot of land management and snow plowing with it as of lately, and have feared the whole clutch issues. Lucky me so far no slipping or anything.

Nice pics.

The only thing I think would be a good idea to check, would be all fluids for proper level. And make sure all the drain plugs are tight.

Be careful in tightning the bottom oil drain plug; the tourqe rateing on it is almost nothing. It is in ft/pnds in yhe owners manual.

Yes, good point when you check to make sure it's tightened, follow the torque specs.
