Kioti CK 30 (2008, gear drive, 415 hours)
Folks:

I just purchased a 2008 CK30 (gear drive) with 415 hours for our little hobby farm in Vermont. The 400 hour service was not performed so I am about to change all the filters and fluids.

Can I use the Traveller Premium Hydraulic Fluid from Tractor Supply? I noticed that it matches the Kubota spec.

Kioti specifies Mobillube 424 or Mystic JT-5.

Any and all advice is appreciated!

I haven't used the Traveler Premium Hydro Fluid yet in my CK30hst but other members have reported good results in their tractors. Just make sure you get the Premium as you mentioned and not TSC regular hydro fluid which doesn't have the same specs. TSC sometimes carries the Mystic JT-5 which also works well if they don't have the Premium.

I worried about it for my first change. I have used the Traveler fluid for years and have had no performance issues. It is cheap and very available.

the answer is definitely yes.

Do not use their other Traveller types like the 303, as they are for older machines, but the Premium was designed for new machines like yours, and mine.

Many thanks folks. I'll pick up the fluid and get to it in the next couple of days. DOC
