Trans/hydraulic preferences

[PECKERWOOD]

Sorry, stil learning way around forum.
I plan to change the trans/hydraulic fluid in my l2500dt. Looking at prices from $30 to $86 per 5 gals. I need 10 gals, what brand and type do you fellas suggest. Thanks for your help.

Kubota SUDT2 is what I use. I'll not use the cheap stuff...

Chevron 1000 THF, it specs better than UDT. Orange in color too makes it easy to read the dipstick. $11 per gallon, not a bad price.

I too use Chevron THF-1000 and works great. But only in older machine--my choice, not fluid limitation.

Interesting that one poster says it is orange, my batch is amber-clear fresh out of can.

If newer (owner judgement) or under warranty I'd be inclined to stay with top-tier Kubota fluids for the first thousand hours or so.

Please post back your comments and experiences so we may all learn.
