I had some supertech udt fluid in it and I was wondering if that is alright to use? I put in 5 gallons but it needs more than that and its leaked some overtime, so should I just buy another 5 gal or switch? Thank you.
I’m a Kubota UDT fan myself though and if it was mine, that’s what I’d use. $18 a gallon at my dealer.
I did drain it and replaced the old fluid with the supertech one I was just wondering if thats alright to useI'm not sure I understand what you are have going on here, have you drained it or just topping off? From what I saw on a google search, the L175 hydraulic capacity is 23 quarts (5.75 gallons TOTAL). I can't imagine a leak has drained the entire hydraulic system empty. My Kubota (very different model - L3710) specs 10.3 gallons and has a sight glass for checking the level, it takes about 9.5 gallons to get the level right.
Off topic...I also only use Super UDT2 for my hydro fluid from the dealer. It may seem pricey at the dealer (~$100/5 gal) but it's well worth it to not jeopardize the hydro unit. I haven't checked in some time, but I don't think there is a suitable alternative to UDT2 fluid.
To each his own, but the "recommended for" section does not agree with customer service.From the TSC site asked and answered by the company rep the TSC fluid is OK to replace UDT and UDT2, but not Super UDT2,
Can this be used for substitute for Kubota udt Can this be used as substitute for Kubota UDT2 hydro oil. I have a 2012 Kubota SVL90-2 skid steer. 2

Yes, it can be used for UDT2
Can this fluid be used in place of Kubota UDT or DUT super fluid?

For UDT yes but not for super UDT.
Awesome, it is an older tractor so the udt spec probably wasnt even a thing in the 70s but if that supertech fluid works then I will go ahead and keep using it
Right it was low on fluid before and it would squeak halfway and above when cold and hot, but less when hot. Now when I put in one extra gallon it stopped squealing when cold where it happened the majority of the time. All is good now.The squealing at the top is normal. You could move the lever limiting bracket/ stop thing down just a bit to keep the lever from going too high.
Squealing any other time would lead me to look at the lines possibly being plugged or gummed up or the filter needing replaced.
