Full Synthetic Tractor Hydraulic Fluid

[_RaT_]

Well, he should be fine but then, it's so easy, why not do it yourself and be sure.

I'm working towards having the capability for future service at home but I'm not there yet, I had just expected the dealer to do the 50 hour. Notable items that I would like to get are a shop manual and a container that will actually hold all that transmission fluid /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif. Should I just bite the bullet and get prepared or is there real value in getting that first service done by the dealer?

Hiya Cheese - I was all set with a smart-a$$ answer - "Yes, there's a lot of value in it - for the dealer" - but it's Christmas time, so I gave you a pass. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

It's really pretty easy to do those services yourself, and I always like to keep my tractor out of my dealer's clutches anyway. They've never seen it since their last glimpse of my taillights as I pulled out of their lot with it, and I have a feeling they never will. If you do it yourself, you'll save $$ and know that it's done right with the exact fluids you want. Plus, you get to "bond" with your tractor. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'm going to post in your other thread about whether or not to use synths in your hydro. I would say definitely "yes". I wouldn't put UDT in a Kubota hydro. Either SUDT or Skypup's Amsoil 5w-40 - nothing else.

Whoo Hoo, not only does the 5W-30 multigrade full synthetic work outstanding in ourboth our L-39 GST and L-3130 GST transmissions and hydraulics, but it also makes an amazing difference in the performance of our ZD-21. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Only wish I had discovered just how great this was sooner! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
