Hey Ya'll -
For what it's worth, I just did the 50 hour service on my L3400. Instead of using the Kubota SUDT or UDT, I used Chevron 1000 THF. The main reason I used it was because I had 10 gallons of it hanging around that needed to be used or given away. It's what I used to use in a previous tractor that I owned.
Also, I did some research and asking around, and it turns out that the Chevron 1000 THF meets Kubota standards. I had also read on some other tractor discussion forums where people had used it with no ill effects.
I'm not sure, but I bet it's the same as the Kubota UDT. But it's quite a bit cheaper though. I even asked my local Kubota dealer about it, and he said that if it meets Kubota standards that it should be just fine.
Well, I have operated the tractor with the new fluid and I can't tell any difference at all, not better and not worse. I guess I just saved a little money is all. By the way, the Chevron 1000 TFH is the same color as the Kubota UDT. Not sure if that means anything though.
