Engine Oil Type:
API CE or CF, SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30 (depending on climate). Refer to manual for precise specification.
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid:
Kubota UDT (Universal Drive Train Oil) or equivalent fluid meeting Kubota's specifications. Capacity approx. 30-40 liters.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Capacity approx. 8-10 liters.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch plates, hydraulic filters, fuel filters, and steering seals are common wear items.
Potential Hydraulic Concerns:
Over time, hydraulic system performance can degrade due to worn seals or contaminated fluid, requiring thorough flushing and component inspection.
