Wolfman--thanks!!! I've always used Kubota filters and oil, so I'll do the same with the hydraulic system. When my cylinder seal burst I was afraid to do anything with my tractor without adding some fluid, so I bought the type specified at TSC (I just looked and it says Kubota UDT on the...

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to stop and pick up a new drain pan to use for the hydraulic oil. We have an oil depository at our local convenience center, but I have no idea if they accept hydraulic oil. How do you typically dispose of it? The manual from Kubotabooks is just awesome. I...

Thanks! I did download that manual and made a donation to Kubotabooks. Pretty amazing site. I've been slowly going through it--it's over 600 pages! My only concern is that it doesn't have the 3430 cab model, but it's probably pretty likely that the non-cab 3430 HST is just like mine (fluid...

Hi, everyone. I'm new here, and I've had this question nagging me since I bought my tractor back in the early 2000's. I have a Kubota 3430 HSTC (34 HP hydrostatic transmission compact tractor with cab), and from the first day of ownership it has struggled going up slopes of 5% or more in...
