Completed the 50 hour service, I ended up going with Mobil fluid 424. The fluid will be in there for 350 hours (hopefully).

Chuck, Where did you finally get the 424?

I bought the mobil 424 online at oilhub.com, good price and free shipping.

I went to that link, NG. I went to TheOilHub.com and couldn't find Mobil 424. This whole Hydro Fluid question is a PITA.
TSC fluid seems to meet the requirements. The local store also has Rotella. I'm gonna continue to research. Kioti hasn't been very helpful. They should have a technical support person, not just "Customer Service".

Chuck, did you use Rotella engine oi? and where did you get the filters?

I just bought Kubota Super UDT expensive yes, but so is a new tractor. Take some of that aftermarket fluid and the factory fluid and pour in a cup. It does not look or feel the same. Maybe I wasted some money will not know for sure until another 1000 hours with no problems.

I did use Rotella T5 synthetic blend 10w30. I use that same oil for about everything.

I purchased my oil and filters at the dealer. Put kioti fluid (only one grade) in the fall, did a good job in the winter especially with the -35C we had nearly all winter, but i don't recoment it for the rest of the year, since it heats up very fast and the relief valve kicks in early. I'll be putting Donax TD in a few hours.

What is synthetic blend? Is that a tablespoon of synthetic oil in a barrel of conventional?

My DK45 book has the maintenance hours as an interval not clock reading. The HST filter at 250 clock reading hours and the HST oil change at 450 clock reading hours, but changing early for a low use tractor isn't a bad idea. A normal every day farm tractor would log somewhere around 1000 hours per year.
