I was checking fluids on my new kubota that i got this year. When i got her the overflow for the radiator was at the bottom line of acceptable so i didn't add any. When i just checked again at 40hrs the overflow is below the L line and i cant even seen fluid in there so it may be empty. I checked the radiator and its full and she has never heated above 3 bars so no concerns about overheating but i want to go ahead and get the level where it should be. The manual says unless there is a leak, which i dont suspect there is, i should top off with "soft water" to replace whats lost through evaporation. So three stupid questions.
1. what is soft water? Is that just distilled bottle water?
2. how much "evaporation" is normal? I guess i never thought much about it but it makes sense.
3. when the time comes for fluid replacement or if i ever get a leak can you tell me what type of coolant is recommended in these tractors? is it the same Prestone universal type coolant most cars take or is it something proprietary and model specific?
thanks guys!
