About to service tractor; advice appreciated

I do not know about your model, but on some, there are 2 oil drain plugs, one on each side of a drive shaft. I drained mine the first time without knowing that and did not realize it until I re-filled it and reached the full mark to quickly.

I am also about to do the 50 hr service on my Kioti DK35 HST so I'm not sure my comment is relevant to a Kubota but.....

There have been a couple of posts on the Kioti forum mentioning not to overtighten the drain plugs when reinstalling them. They are easy to strip. Again, this may not be the case on the Kubota. I had a Kubota L275DT and never had a problem with it.

Again, this may not apply to the Kubota but make sure you find ALL drain plugs. For example the Kioti DKxx manual only mentions removing one plug for draining the hydraulic/transmission oil. But there are two other lower plugs at the rear wheel final drives that must also be removed to completely drain the oil.

You may also see if your dealer will copy the relevant pages for you. My dealer offered them to me. I declined because I'm confident the TBN forums have provided me with enought information.

Good luck.
