Kubota Owners Check This NOW!

hey everyone i'm making this video today because it seems like it's became a hot topic on the facebook pages related to kubota tractors um it could be other tractors too because it's they're all similarly designed but i follow the kubota one so this is what i know it seems like the four wheel drive front case a lot of people are noticing that they have low on fluid significantly according to the manual on my 2501 here in the daily check it doesn't say that you're supposed to be checking that on a daily basis there's not a dipstick to check it i'm going to show you how to check it in a minute and uh if i'm low i'm going to top it off with super udt2 the manual states for the front four wheel drive case in this you could use the super udt2 or 8590 gear oil i figured they'd probably use the super udt2 from the factory so that's what i'm going to stick with topping it off and it's actually also a little bit cheaper than the gear oil if you're not buying a ton of it so as far as maintenance on this goes it states to change the oil every 800 hours and i'm not sure where i'm at i have less than 100 hours on this tractor right now i believe so if i am low on fluid like everybody has going 800 hours is a little excessive in my opinion so it's a good idea to check it out and see what you're working with so right here we're going to refer to as the passenger side of the tractor this is going to be the fill plug right here and we're going to have to open this up and the other side is going to be the check plug i'm going to use a 27 millimeter but you don't need to use a wrench for it you could go with a just an adjustable wrench be fine good right here what we can refer to as the driver's side that you'll actually get on and off the tractor you can use a 14 millimeter and this little nut is going to come with this little bolt here is going to come out and that's going to be your fill plug so as of right now i don't know how much fluid is actually in there so what i'm going to do i'm going to put a funnel in the fill side fill it up with udt and we'll see how much uh it takes to fill it up and come out that fill plug so i'm not sure how much is actually in there right now nothing's coming out so i know it's right not at the fill so i'm gonna be pouring super udt into the fill plug and i'm gonna stop when it comes out the drain plug then i'll know it's good and so far this has taken quite a bit more than i was expecting it to try not to spill it like i do and still nothing and now we're just starting to get a slow drip coming out of there i think i maybe put a little more than i needed but like you said you can't overfill it and uh it's a little cold out so the viscosity is a little a little slow in the stuff but uh yeah it took quite a bit i'm just gonna let that keep dripping until it's where it needs to be i'm gonna level slab after you've let that dripped out a little bit put your plugs back in snug them up you don't have to go over tight with it so in the end i ended up having to add about a little over two quarts i didn't measure but that's what it seemed like about a one gallon thing of the super udt2 um i think that's a little bit excessive and i think i know why this is happening to all these tractors i talked to ben kennedy about it from k h tractors if you're not watching him yet you probably should he's a great guy but uh he had mentioned that his bx tractor had came significantly low from the factory and i think it's uh looking at the manual it says 800 hours through the change on the the front case here and it uh it says to fill it up until it comes out the plug and then you gotta operate the tractor for a few minutes to get everything moving and i think the dealers are just filling them up until it comes out plugging it back up and saying good to go so if you have even if it's a brand new tractor check it if you got 50 hours 100 hours couple hundred hours on it check it it can't hurt to check and uh that's not something you want to drive around with being low especially since the manual doesn't tell you to do a daily check on that or to change it at a you know lower hours so you might drive around for 800 hours and not even know so i appreciate everybody watching this and uh if your tractor is low on oil in there hopefully you can get it taken care of if you don't mind please hit the like and subscribe button and we'll catch you on the next one thanks everybody
