B 8200 HYD. FLUID CHANGE

[Anonymous Poster]

HEY FELLERS
MY DARLING WIFE HAS DECIDED THAT THE 30.00 OWNERS MANUAL THAT I BOUGHT FOR MY 1985 B 8200 SHOULD BE THROWN OUT WITH ALL OF HER COSMO.WHY YOU SHOULDNT BE GOOD TO YOUR HUSBAND CAUSE HE'S LUCKY WERE LETTING HIM BREATHE OUR AIR MAGAZINES. (GLAD I GOT THAT OFF MY CHEST) ANYWAY CAN ANYONE OUT THERE TELL ME THE TYPE OF HYD. OIL AND HOW MUCH MY TRACTOR REQUIRES. I HAVE A SPARE FILTER WHICH BY THE WAY I DIDNT KNOW WAS A METAL SCREEN THAT COULD BE WASHED OUT INSTEAD OF BUYING A NEW ONE BECAUSE I DIDNT LOOK UNTIL I GOT HOME WITH IT.(WHEW!! CAN ANYONE TELL IM HAVING A BAD DAY). ANYWAY THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

That vintage tractor should be fine with Kubota UDT. If you want to get fancy, you might put in super UDT, but the benefits are debatable.

BTW - Turn off the caps lock... All caps is hard to read, and it sort looks like you're shouting. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I agree GlueGuy, but in this case I think maybe he intended to be shouting (probably at his wife)./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Kubota UDT will work. My B8200HST holds 19 quarts hydraulic fluid.

Robert... Do you buy hydraulic fluid by the quart, gallon, or 5 gallon pail.../w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Now my Deere holds 35 quarts of hydraulic fluid... how should I buy it.../w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif

I do a little of them all /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I buy a 5gal bucket for the fluid change, but also get a 1gal jug for top-off's.

For your <font color=green>Deere</font color=green>, I'd get two fives, and then you'd have enough left over to fill a 1gal jug for top-off's. Then again, I wonder if you could get a 15gal drum? I've seen other oild's in those. That would be heavy to move around though...

The part I think is a pain, is getting rid of the old stuff... It's not like the old days, when everyone oiled thier gravel drive with the stuff.
