Hi everyone,
I have a big container of Kubota brand "Premium UDT Fluid" on the front of the big container of it,
it says hydraulic / transmission.

Can somebody give me an info on this ? - So I can use this not only for the hydraulics but also the transmission ?
I'm new to tractors, so that's why I'm asking. Transmission oil is the same as hydraulic oil ?

Thanks for any info. :) I'll post this now, and add a photo of the container later.

Your bio says that you are in the states...... the "Premium UDT Fluid" is typically found in the Canadian markets. It is fine stuff and can be used in your front axle also if in the colder part of the states.

In the US

there are 3 hydraulic fluids with Kubota on them

UDT
S-UDT
and
S-UDT2

from what I understand ....
UDT is normal hydraulic oil......
S-UDT was a synthetic blend
and
S-UDT2 is synthetic 100%

If you dont mind me being nosey - where did you get you Premium?

The tractors transmission sump (reservoir) is the reservoir for also all the hydraulic fluid, so yes they are the same.

You are correct on the Premium being a Canadian mix. I picked up a jug last month and asked about S- UDT2, told by the parts not available in Canada only Premium. Was he right? I don't know.

Yes, here in Canada, the S-UDT2 is sold branded as Premium UDT Fluid. They are the same stuff, just a different name on the pail.
