Trans hydraulic fluid

[tractorcrazy]

Tsc sells traveler trans hydraulic fluid that says it meets kubota udt specs anyone ever use it in there hydrostatic tractors

 

[Birdhunter1]

Alot of people on the Mahindra Facebook page use that stuff in their machines. I don't but I'm not hearing of any failures associated with it.

 

[Sawyer Rob]

I wouldn't use it in any tractor that has the whiner tranny, but I wouldn't be afraid to use it in an "older" tractor with the gear drive tranny...

I haven't seen any documented evidence of failure from using it. Lots of warnings from the doomsday prophets but none have been able to produce hard evidence of DOCUMENTED failures.

 

[Roadworthy]

I wouldn't even think of trying a substitute in my Kubota HST tractor. Hydraulic fluid cost is noise level next to what the tractor cost I'm sticking with SUDT2 - or whatever is current for HST. Among other things it meets warranty requirements and quiets the whine.

Yup, sure do - TSC Traveller Premium Universal Tractor Hydraulic Fluid.

Kubota B2910, 2300+ hours on the clock.

 

[Dwellonroof]

I used it in my John Deere 2720 with no problems.

 

[p0diabl0]

I'm interested in trying it next change only because the dealer is 1 hour away vs a TSC 10 minutes away.

Is your Kubota still under warranty?

No but only because it's commercial use, good point for a lot of people though!

I use the TSC stuff, just got 4 buckets to use this summer, or at least start on! This leaky chit goes thru a lot just sittin in the yard a drip at a time! Leaks are nothing more than a little drip, BUT next time you need the tractor,----gotta add a quart! lol!

Only people that have orange blood in their veins would continue using OEM oil, filters, grease, etc. after a purchase. Any aftermarket product that meets specifications cannot/will not void a manufacturers warranty. Why? Because of the Magnuson-Moss warranty act that prevents this deceitful practice. Does Kubota have a refinery somewhere? Caterpillar does this too, and they've been called out for it many times, and they lose every court case over it. In fact I'll bet Kubota has too.

The "does Kubota have a refinery somewhere"..... is an old red herring.
Kubota DOES have a refinery somewhere!
They have a refinery make hydraulic fluid to THEIR (Kubota) specifications!
I can MUCH better afford to buy Kubota SUDT-2, than to pay $500+ per hour for a law firm to represent me in a Magunson-Moss lawsuit.
Might only cost me $200K to be able to say .....I won!

Don't be so ignorant! If you win, and you would, it wouldn't cost you a dime. In fact you could sue for punitive, etc.
Put the orange Kool-Aid down and walk away.

I use it in both of my tractors and have never had a problem , I also get my oil,fuel and hydraulic filters from NAPA, I'm just not willing to pay the green price.

 

[TractorGuy]

Been using the TSC Traveller Premium Universal in my NH backhoe for several years with no problem. Planning to use it in my eHydro JD4310. Just haven't got around to changing it yet.

I have absolutely no desire to get needlessly involved in such a mindless lawsuit.
You might choose to test such waters not I!
So, maybe I spend an extra $500 over 2000 hours, for hydraulic fluid changes.
I probably spilled more than that, back when I was drinking beer!

I have had no occasion to test it, but others have and found the water to be just fine. This is just another Kubota money grab. Ever wonder why Sulzer or EMD don't sell branded oil? Because they don't sell consumer oriented engines. EMD's only stipulation used to be to only use chlorine free oil (CFO) regardless of brand because they had silver bearing inserts.
And you forgot to add inflation and lost interest earned on that $500.

 

[MESSMAKER]

I have used it. It seemed to work fine.

 

[Dwellonroof]

I would use whatever gives you peace of mind.
I have no problem using different brands of oils or filters.
