Standard UDT and super UDT are compatable with each other. Yes you can mix them.
per kota's website:
"KUBOTA Original Transmission hydraulic fluid. The oil used to lubricate the transmission is also used as hydraulic fluid. To insure proper operation of the hydraulic system and complete lubrication of the transmission, it is important that a multi-grade transmission fluid be used in this system. We recommend the use of KUBOTA UDT or SUPER UDT fluid for optimum protection and performance. (Consult your KUBOTA dealer for further detail.)
Do not mix different brands together. "

Yes don't mix BRANDS. But UDT is UDT. One is synthetic and one is dino. Just like Mobile one or other synthetic oils, they can be mixed with a non synthetic oil.
I also asked the dealer about mixing, he said yes, but who knows where he got his information. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
I did it today. I had three quarts of super UDT left over from a prior change. I put them in the hydraulic fluid with the new standart UDT. It ain't blown up yet. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I agree but some on this forum think UDT is not the same as Super UDT (I for one). Based on what I was told, there two fluids are designed for different applications. The super UDT can do more “things” then the normal UDT.
The 1 million dollar question is why would you even way to mix a synthetic with a dino? You care gaining nothing here, if anything, you are lowing the benefits of the synthetic. Unless we are talking group 3 hydraocracked dino oil here.
But if you are using UDT or Super UDT in a hyd application, you are fine. But Super UDT can be used in applications that normal UDT can not. Then the two can not be mixed.

What you are missing is that different brands have differing chemical properties that might not be compatible with each other. UDT is not a brand, but a specific product of Kubota, as well as Super UDT is also another product. The similarity of names doesn't always mean that it is compatible. Just like the word salt doesn't give you any indication of what type it is. You wouldn't use rock salt in a recipe that called for table salt, even both have the similarity of the term "salt". Whenever mixing or interchanging any product it is incumbent upon the user to make sure that they are compatible by reading the label. Chlorine bleach and sudsy ammonia are both household chemicals, but if you mix them, you will have disastrous results.
