~~~Is SUDT being phased out ?~~~
Went to my Kubota dealer to get 15 quarts of it yesterday for my BX23 .
They only had 13 quarts .
And aren't stocking only a few quarts at a time.

I will be needing another 24 or more quarts of it for of the 2 BX1500s before too long.
I have gotten the SUDT there for the last 5 years and this was never a problem before.
What would you do in this case ?

I usually buy it in the gallon jugs did you check that stock its usually
cheaper too

If you need that much buy it in 5 gallon buckets

People with certain frailties or disabilities likely prefer the quart size for easier handling. I assume your particular dealer is fussy about stocking quarts, although, I have no idea why they would. I am sure most people buy gallons and larger. That's the only reason I can think of. Tell your dealer to get a case of 24 in ASAP. Pick it up in two weeks?

2.5 gallon. Goldilocks. Not too big. Not too small. Just right.

I wish all brands of hydraulic fluid came in 2.5 gallon containers. Seems the perfect size to handle. 5 gal buckets are heck on the back.

I bought all the SUDT he had in stock which consisted of 2 1 Gallon Jugs and 5 1 quart bottles for a total of 13 quarts thus leaving me 2 quarts short .

cheaper too.
2*If you need that much buy it in 5 gallon buckets
1*I bought 2 1 gallon jugs which is all he had in gallon jugs.
2*He didn't have any 5 gallon pails.


3*2.5 gallon. Goldilocks. Not too big. Not too small. Just right.
3* HE didn't have any of these .
4*I have a 5 gallon pail to sell for 89.00
5* To bad we hain't closer.

*Doubt that .
I graduated with his brother in 1959.
Our class has a monthly luchen get together and I've asked him when is his brother going to retire from operating his Kubota dealership and he says his brother is making to much money to do that.
