    Oil Question please

    I agree. It would make me feel better if it were at least mentioned in the users manual or on their website. For fun I did Shells Oil Finder thing and it mentioned 10w-30 Conventional Rotella. Normally those oil finders push you to use the best synthetic that they have. I use 15w-40 because...

    Kubota ZD323 Question

    Alright. I think it's good. I checked it before I mowed today and it a hair over the full line. I mowed my 1/3 acre lot and shut it down. Came back after trimming and checked it (about 30 min). It was dead center between the full and add marks. I had to use my wooden dowel dipstick to see...

    Kubota ZD323 Question

    Thanks for the reply. The level is correct after sitting overnight. I did the 400 hour service a few weeks ago. I have mowed with it a few acres since. The last time I had it up to temp I checked the fluid and it was about perfect, but that was after being on a trailer for about 30 min...

    Kubota ZD323 Question

    Kubota ZD323 Question

    I completed the 400 hours service a while ago. It was a mess. I checked it last night after it has say and it is still over the full mark. I will need to drain a bit more out I suppose. I put 3+ hours on it since the service. Its been over full for 3 hours or so and it hasn't puked any out...

    Kubota ZD323 Question

    Hello Everyone, I have a newly acquired ZD323. I was checking the fluids but I am unsure at what state to check the hydraulic fluid. The manual doesn't make much sense. It says to remove the key, but let the machine Idle for 1-3 min? I'm assuming idle means let sit. Then check it. I don't...
