Hello. We just purchase a 2007 Kubota U45 excavator. Does anyone out there know where I can find an operators manual for this machine?

Thanks again for the help. Would you happen to know what sort of hydraulic fluid the U45 uses? I have some Kubota UDT2 but not so sure that is what should go into a U45 excavator.

UDT2 is likely just fine, but Messick's will have the answer to that question as well.

While the ops manual is good, you really should get the WSM (aka service manual) for it too.
It will have far more information than the OPS manual.

My mini ex does not use SUDT or UDT. Uses normal hydraulic fluid, since hydraulic pumps/motors do the work and there is no HST. I forget which oil is used at the moment...but would not use SUDT or UDT, before verifying it is compatible with the excavator.

I only use SUDT in my tractors though...

Under the hydraulic oil tab and gear oil tab towards the bottom of the page here it calls out the fluid types for excavators.

Page described above shows that SUDT-2 is preferred for all Kubota hydraulic systems!

Read further down the page, it lists excavator oils and they are not SUDT2.
