Kubota HST vs standard transmission

[JOHNTHOMAS]

Well I sure can't speak to any other tractors requirements, but I checked the manual on my L3400 Kubota, and the service change interval is the same for the fluid, 400 hours. whether gear or Hydrostat. The gear case holds 7.3 gallons. The Hydrostat hold 6.2gallons.. the fluid it calls for is the same for both.. UDT or SUDT. So to my mind it looks like the Hydrostat is a little cheaper on fluid, and the only extra expense is the filter..

Maybe another myth put to bed, at least on this model. Probably the same on all models, speculation not fact..

The filter is a "good thing".
