Super UDT?

   / Super UDT? #21  
I picked up my 50 hours supplies today from the local Kubota dealer and they don't have Kubota Super UDT. Said they had some coming in the Spring (no, I didn't ask why they were waiting until Spring).

They gave me Powertech Universal Tractor Hydraulic Fluid and said that is what they always use and that the warranty would still be good on the tractor. They sell 2 gal for $15.50.

Comparing it to the list tomnky gave for the Chevron a couple of the items are the same, such as Cat TO-2.

It only mentions Kubota UDT, not Super UDT but Kubota dealer swears they have been using it for years and have had no problems or complaints.

My experience with the dealer has been that they try to save their customers money whenever they can. The parts manager (who is 1/2 owner of dealership) told me not to buy Kubota Orange paint, said to go to auto parts store and buy Chevrolet Engine Orange so he passed up a couple of dollars in profit when he told me that. So I know they are not trying to get in my pocket.

I guess I'll find out in about 24 more seat hours or the first time I poke a hole in one of the filters while working in the woods (whichever comes first).

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am thoroughly confused by all this.

JUST GO TO A DISCOUNT STORE AND BUY A PLASTIC TOTE. if it is too tall to fit under the tractor just cut a little off the top! won't cost more the $5 and will work fine.

After my experiences with power steering problems on my B2910. I would use Super UDT or Amsoil before using UNIVERSAL TRACTOR HYDRAULIC FLUID. Order it on-line and use the correct oil. Your tractor Hydraulics will operate better.

Seriously considering it. I haven't been able to find any real specifications on the Kubota Super UDT on line. The only thing I found that gave much information was TractorSmart Super UDT page and it doesn't give any specs just some charts and general statements, most of which seem to be about cold weather situations.

I wonder if the difference in the problems you had were cold weather related. In East Texas it seldom gets below freezing for more than 2 or 3 hours in the morning and is usually up in the 50's during the day. This morning it is 37 and supposed to go to 50 's.

I'm going to call the Kubota dealer in Beaumont, TX Monday and see if he stocks the Super UDT. It's 60 miles away but I have to go there Tuesday anyway so not a big deal.

Thanks for the suggestion, I am concerned about taking the best care I can of my investment.

I never had any problems in cold weather. Power steering problems always showed up on a day with temperatures above 80 degrees. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Other problems with FEL lift power also showed up at the same time.
