I have a
B2620, I imagine they have to be very similar if not set up exactly the same. When my 50 hr came up I went to the dealer to get my supplies and asked for the SUDT fluid and he told me they don't even sell it. :confused2: He told me there is no added benefits with the SUDT over the UDT. He then said I didn't need to change my Hyd oil until 400 hrs (I think, I have to check my manual) but not at the 50 hr mark. He said if I had brought it to them to do the service I would not be getting my fluid changed only filters and when the fluid is replaced it is replaced ith UDT only. I agree with you all in the theory of changing the fluids, especially on a break in of a new tractor, but he said this is Kubota's maintenance plan. So I bought the filters and a quart of UDT to top off with at his suggestion and went on my way. When changing my Hyd filters, I always like to have my filters next to me ready to go. Seal wet for lubrication, rags handy and such. I unscrewed the filter on the left side and replaced it, no problems. But when I unscrewed the filter on the right side Hyd fluid came pouring out. By the time I got the new filter on which was pretty quick I lost about 2 to 3 quarts. I was pissed, I live 50 miles from the dealer, it was on a weekend, and we snow up to our ***. I needed my tractor to move snow. Had to go back on monday and I bought a couple gallons to have on hand.
So if anyone goes with Kubota's plan just have ample amount of fuild on hand because it will come pouring out at the 1 filter. Your probably better off just changing the oil with the filters. :thumbsup:
