i have a KH101 digger and want to put antifreeze in it but im not sure what kind to use the manual says to use water but worried it will freeze and crack the block so the question is what antifreeze/coolant to use ?

Can't speak to your specific digger, but every Kubota diesel I'm aware of uses regular old green, ethylene glycol. (Prestone, Zerex, Peak, etc.) Plain water is typically used just to top off.
There was a relatively recent thread addressing this exact question for Kubota engines. Perhaps if you are good with a search you can find it...I do not have much luck searching this site or some unknown to me reason...
Well, I guess I underestimated myself. I think this was the thread I was thinking of:
Coolant... after the fact
I changed all the fluids in the B2410. Replaced the mid PTO seal along with one axle seal... no more seeps!:D This is where I need some opinions. I also replaced the engine coolant with Valvoline Zerex g-05. as recommended for diesels. Instead of using the 50/50 method I went with 70/30...

plain old green antifreeze. I have owned Kubota excavators for decades and they have all been the same. For goodness sake don't use just water.
