OK so. Playing around with the new tractor yesterday evening and today.
Hyd fluid level started dropping, not concerned really, there was a good bit of "dry cylinder" sound from the backhoe and FEL due to them not being bled completely. Called the dealer and was told tuesday or wednesday they would come out and top it off or I could come by for a gallon of fluid today. Did that and one quart topped it off.
FEL comes down fast and jerky sometimes, is this normal with the Kubota FELs? Or is there an adjustment?
Next thing, hydraulic fluid... UDT and Super UDT are.... Super Expensive...
We go through about 25,000 gallons of diesel a day, yes not a typo. 600 or so gallons of DEF a day, 3,000 gallons of oil and a few barrels of Hydraulic fluid a month. Needless to say I get some ridiculously good prices on lubricants and plan on using Chevron Synthetic All-Weather THF as it is really, really affordable for me.
Anyone have pushback from Kubota on warranty claims when using alternate fluids?
Anyone have a better alternative Hyd fluid choice for Kubota than the Chevron stuff? Maybe something comparable to Super UDT2?
