Update: Was contacted by Valvoline and sent them copies of all information compiled.Was told they may be interested in obtaining sample of suspected fluid. Waiting for the call and possibly a test kit.

I have never kept the backhoe attached to the tractor for more than the time it was in use. It is like brand new. Under tarp in heated barn.

Update : Valvoline contacted me and asked for more pictures of product difference. They may be sending a sample submission kit to test the product purchased in February, March of this year. I will update when new information is available.

It was purchased at the dealer and was factory sealed.

You are more than welcome.Enjoy the ride.

I have both fluids on hand for test if Valvoline asks for them.They said they might.

Reply came from Kubota. Contact Valvoline. They make the Super UDT2 for them.They would know if there was a change in formulation between the two lot numbers in question.Called Valvoline Tech Support. They said they do not make changes to product unless directed by Kubota. But they are...

After changing fluid again that was changed 55 hr ago.I noticed differences in the smell and the color of the SUDT2 that I just purchased from the one purchased in February of 2019. The product from February had a sulfur smell to it.The new fluid did not and smelled totally different.After...

The fluid was darker from when it was installed. But no metal shavings were found. Taking filters in to have dealer cut them in half. This will be done on Monday morning.

An update on the hsd. Pressures came in spec. Changed fluid again and reverse no longer jumps. But forward does. Thinking about replacing forward relief valve. I noticed the Super UDT2 container no longer states that it is synthetic and it smells different from the product I purchased in March...

But this was an original hookup from Kubota.They must have changed their philosophy. This was purchased 18 year ago.

Oh darn.I figured a 3 point hookup would work.One kubota dealer said it would and another said they did not know. I need to know for sure before I go any further.Has anyone tried this before?

Will a B4672A backhoe fit onto a B2560 with cab? The reason I ask is I have this backhoe from my B2410 and now looking at the B2560.Would like not to have to purchase another backhoe.

Thanks for the suggestions.I will update the outcome when the dust settles on this issue.

The shock is present and operating correctly.
