That's wrong on soooo many levels.

Messicks online. Good source.

I agree on SUDT I first used it at the 50 hour service. My HST was quieter and smoother.

I have been trying for 2 days to get into Messicks web site. I wounder if they are having server or connection problems.

But how could it be quieter and smoother, it had it in there to begin with...right? Certainly your Texas dealer would have put the best stuff in there to begin with.

Consensus says you are wasting money, especially using SUDT in Texas. It more for the colder climates, say the experts. Now tell me you are using Wix filters!!! :D :D

In fact my dealer had put NH udt in the tractor when setting it up. They also sell NH. The HST was definitely quieter and smoother. I use Kubota filters, aftermarket filters are limited for this model. I use SUDT for its superior high temperature specifications also.

Interesting...I wonder if your dealer voided the warranty? :D

Good news on the filters, I never figured out going OEM on the oil, then cheap on the filters...where there is probably a bigger difference.

I agree. Will be using Dealer ( MF ) filters, and synthetic oil. No aftermarket filters here, OEM only. After all, the tractor is worth more than that.

JMHO.

Well I am past warranty with no problems so the question is moot.
