Did you get it from Pinnacle View?Thanks everyone for the excellent advice. Please excuse the delay responding – I’ve been busy changing the fluid.
Additional Information:
Tractor was purchased new from dealer– no previous owners. Unfortunately it looks like we chose a bad dealership. He is refusing to help. Called Kubota - they say its between use and the dealer.
All maintenance done at the suggested hours.
No use of hydraulically driven attachments.
We’re very careful with the cleanliness of the hydraulic connectors when taking the backhoe off/on.
Tractor get used every other day or so – always to recommended temperature.
Tractor is housed in a barn – but we do wash it frequently.
Sizzle test for water is between negative and 0.05 - 0.1% 500-1000 ppm. It was zero with Blackstone.
Again – thanks for the help.

Dang! This thread makes me feel so guilty. I've got a Kubota B7200 hydro that I doubt has ever seen a trans. fluid change. I know the filter is original (by looks)
I've got well over $400 into it (came free with a snow blower I wanted. I've only had the B7200 for five years. Maybe I should clean the filters or something. Darn thing works great, I'ld hate to jinx it.
;-))
