Wen, I think the larger the temperature variation the more reason for the super UDT. However, I don't believe this is the only reason for the super UDT fluid. If you think of the logic of the situation you may conclude the same.
The logic being that the transfer case surrounding the gears is very close to the gears and this is a non-pressurized system. Therefore, if you get a too heavy of weight oil it may be very difficult to create a splashing effect to lubricate the gears. I really believe it is not the weight of the oil that matters in this situation, rather than the fact the the gears are fully lubricated with oil. I would rather have the gears properly lubricated with a thinner weight oil as opposed to running a heavy weight oil that is not lubricating the gears. I would also think that is why Kubota is reccommending the super UDT. We need to give these guys some credit, they have designed the very best equipment as we all know!!!
