Price of Super UDT

[DaleW]

Tinmann,
Try calling Modern Tractor in Tennessee and talk to Steve Bowman (800-540-1704). I just bought a tractor from him and found them to be real honest guys to deal with. They could UPS you the filters in a few days if the price is right.
Good Luck
Dale

I was at the dealer picking up a new Workshop Manual for my tractor and thought I would inquire about Super UDT.

Keep in mind that this is North Central Texas - but they don't use, sell, or stock Super UDT for their entire fleet of Kubota tractors. They use UDT in everything, but will order it and put it in if you request it. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif I thought their prices on UDT, Kubota Oil (they only use 30W unless you request differently) and Filters seemed pretty reasonable to me. A lot cheaper than the local John Deere or Massey Ferguson dealers.

My Hydraulic filters (M6800S tractor) were less expensive than yours. They were $21.34 ea and it requires 2 filters.
UDT was priced either $32 or $35 for 5 gallons which seemed reasonable - but am sure that these are all full retail prices and could be found discounted if you know where to buy them from.
Oil Filter $9.46
Fuel Filter$5.75
Inner Dust $14.25
Outer Dust $18.50

The workshop manual was the orig 6800 manual with a supplement. The orig manual was about an inch thick and cost $60.00. The supplement looked to be about 20 pages and cost $40.00. The binder is seperate and is $7.00. They are good manuals and worth what they cost.

Tinmann,

Look at the hydraulic oil change interval and the filter price won't seem so high. When you realize that those little metal shavings getting in the hydraulic pump can do thousands of dollars of damage, then I prefer the Kubota solution. Even when strainers were used, you usually had to spend $15 for a gasket for the cover to get to the strainer. Hydraulic systems like to be kept clean to continue to give long trouble free service. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
