Dealership told me not to do it, but i did it anyways.
There were also a lot of mistakes that the dealership made before i got the tractor.
( missing grease, loose loader bolts / pins, missing topic link, missing nuts, UDT instead of SUDT )

Before switching hydraulic fluids, i was also having problems switching gears ( it always got stuck, and had to play with rpms every time )
Afterwards, totally fine.

@ the 42:20 mark is when i test out the results.
After warming up on Low, sounds like a different tractor.


Thought i'd share, seriously, HUGE performance boost and doesn't sound like the transmission is gong though hell anymore.

This is one of the WORST videos I’ve seen ... got very tired of being “swung-around” by the camera.... and the narrator’s indefinite comments ....”I don’t know”... “whatever”... “any-whoo”... “Check the manual on that” (but fails to simply SAY what the manual states)... then later actually admits “I’ve not actually checked the manual”). ......and foul language (perhaps that’s the way he speaks colloquially but it doesn’t contribute to the dialog).... Can’t find the tools he should use (unprepared for this video-event).... But I realize he was trying to be helpful.

I have come to the conclusion dealers either make more profit on UDT ... OR, they have a lot of that stuff on-hand they’d like to get rid of.... because I’ve also had the local Kubota dealer pushing the UDT when my manual CLEARLY states the tractor was SHIPPED with SUDT in it. The dealer told me that SUDT was unnecessary ... and when I pointed out that the unit was originally equipped with SUDT he continued to expound on why he thought that was unnecessary. (Can’t help but wonder if perhaps they like to void the warranty on-purpose... go figure why they deliberately violate the WSM.)

Far as I know, all units are shipped with fluid in the gearcase and front differential and oil in the engine. I will stand corrected if it isn't so.

I don't know, maybe part of dealer prep?

Agreed.

Shipped with fluids but part of dealer prep is to verify levels.

You mean in green frames.... I wonder if that ha something to do with International crating rules?

Dealers ship the frames back to Kubota. Was at my dealer's yard to other day and they were loading empty ship frames on a drop deck.

Neither of mine came in crates. Too big. The came in ovseseas shipping containers, I think 2 to a container. Could be wrong on that again and I'll stand corrected if necessary.

i did say it would be shit at the start of the vid.

i'm also on a race to get everything ready for the winter, because i will have no road access when the winter hits...

and i haven't had a shower in like 4 months. super anxious to finish the waterline.

no time to make fancy videos :p

Dealer here left me the opened containers after doing my 50 hour service so I'd have some spare fluids to top it off. I checked the bottle, it says super udt2. This is for BX 1880.

Welp... blew a gasket / seal, right in the middle of the hst.
leaking like crazy....

warranty time... :S

12 tractor hours after after switching...

not looking forward to the cost of them picking it up. 4 hour drive to the dealership. >.<
