    Engine oil and filter change on the L3710 today. Just shy of 100 hrs. I think I'm going to shorten up my oil change interval. What intervals 20230514_161237.jpg are you guys running?

    I use Rotella in my Kubota BX also ! I change Engine oil and filter...both fuel filters and hydro filter..and change front axle fluid every 200 hrs. It's sooner than recommended here and there...but I sleep better at night. I work my BX hard ....so clean fluids are a must.
    Also...the air filter gets chucked every 100 hours . It gets very dirty..and exhaust color.

    Moved an old stump pile. Took bare stumps to burn pile...smoothed out the remaining dirt and debris ..since i purposely put them in a low spot..so this very day would come true !

    Yep, air filters get replaced regularly. However, stay on schedule with the hydraulic fluid and filters, that's >$300 for my tractor and it seems fine when I've replaced it.

    Absolutely on hydro. I end up changing hydro fluid every other engine oil change . About (400hrs) .My lil tractor doesn't hold much....its cheap insurance. For anyone that has really worked a Bx for any period of time...knows that the fluid..and surrounding axle..pto shaft etc...get pretty warm . Oil is cheap. Even the Kubota Super UDT2 I use..is way cheaper than any problem I could have internally. It's best to try to avoid problems like that I have found !

    I used Rotella T6 in my L3560. I did a break in change at 50hrs, did it again at 200hrs, and will change again at 400. The service interval is 400 for oil, as well as hydro fluid-transmission filter every 200. Air filter every spring as a matter of course.

    OK, that sounds better. Kubota generic service schedule is 200 for engine oil and 300 for hydro. Next time I need to change the front diff, I'm thinking of switching to 80-90 gear oil.

    I know people who change hydro oil every 1000 hours . One of those machines has 4800 hours . Never a trans problem. So who really knows. I just go by how well I can sleep at night. Works fir most things lol.

    I should add that I missed out on a couple of kubotas I was interested in.

    LX 2610 (2) and a B 2601. I just don't move fast enough sometimes!

    Whatever, they make more everyday-right?
