The battery light warns of low electrolyte level in the battery. It is separate from the charging system idiot light. The Kubota batteries accept a sensor and they do cost big bucks. Mine had a NAPA battery when we got it and the electrolyte sensor circuit has been jumped to get the light to...

That sounds like an impressive demonstration and I believe every word of it. Hydros can be extremely handy at times, especially when dealing with hills. I own an hydrostatic garden tractor, Cub Cadet 986 to be exact, and it is extremely strong. The thing I like about my Cub is that ground...

It seems to me that if you have an older gear transmission tractor any good quality UTF will do, including Kubota UDT. I certainly wouldn't put anything but SUDT2 in a late model hydro, especially if that's what came in it originally. Like others have said before me, oil is (relatively) cheap...
