I have a B3030 with just over 300 hours. This past summer I performed the 300 hour fluid changes using Kubota Super UDT and a new transmission filter. Ever since when the tractor is moving in low range and under a small load it sometimes moves with a slight jerking motion that is similar to what a miss hesitation in a gas engine powered vehicles feels like. The new fluid is at the full marks at both front and rear dipsticks, and the fluid remains crystal clear. It is a bit annoying, but doesn't really bother me too much, but I worry that this is the symptom of something that is starting to go seriously bad. I used the Super UDT because I use this tractor to blow snow from my driveway and about a half mile of private road and winters here in Maine do get a bit frosty. In medium and high ranges this effect is not noticeable, but may still be present.
