Hello,
I am new to this board, and new to Kubota. I am much more familiar with older Ford tractors. We just brought home a 1985 B8200DT with turf tires, P/S & 4WD - shows 904 hours. This came with an RCB 60-I belly mower run by an FP82-A front belt driven PTO.
The PO mentioned that he used Shell Rotella 5W-20 in the engine. My new-to-me B8200 operator's manual calls for either SAE 10W or 10W-30? I'm not familar with Rotella - which is best for warm climates? Regular or synthetic?
This will be the first diesel I have worked with, so I would appreciate your recommendations on what products and parts sources work best.
thanks,
Doug Lloyd
