The others gave you good warmup and cool down information. Thirty seconds is too short if you any significant load on the tractor. If just pulling around a light trailer in the barn lot, at lower engine speeds, thirty seconds is OK. When to change oil is a difficult question. I would like to change spring and fall like Old, but I might only have 5-10 hours on a tractor. The combine gets 25-30 hrs a year and I change the oil every year but recently I have been changing the two filters only every second year. The tractors get changed every year along with the filters, with the exception of the retired ones which get 1-2 hours/year at best, so they get changed every two years. Eventually I might regress to a filter change every other year on the tractors receiving the yearly change. Never get over 50 hours on an oil change. If I had one tractor rather then nine, I would change oil/filters every year. Everything either gets CIH or JD oil.
