Oil & Fuel How important are 300 hour HST oil changes for Kubota B7510 used as a mower?

[rswyan]

I use one of those on my F350 but wouldn't put one on my B7610 for fear of tearing it off in the woods.

Yup ... have one on my Dodge Sprinter.

But without a skid plate to protect it, I wouldn't be inclined to put one on the B2910 ... especially now since I've been doing brush clearing ...

Even on the B an HST and 1 filter runs about $65 from Messicks. Plus the extra hassle of changing the oil versus a simple siphon job.

As I wrote getting an oil sample on the B7610 is real easy for me. I suspect my M4700 will be the same. But the M4700 takes 10 gallons, about 4 times as much.

My fluid from the B7160 came out totally clear.

Like someone said - "doveryai no proveryai"

Yup.

Essential.

Hydrostatic transmissions are built to close tolerances and are not tolerant of dirty or incorrect oil.

Your 4 Runner is not a hydrostat.
