Kubota hydrostatic/hydraulic oil change filter question

[Mick Dempsey]

Hi guys, just a quick question for the more mechanically gifted before you go to work.

We're changing the transmission/hydraulic oil and filters on the stv36 today.

There are two filters but seemingly only one filling point and one sump plug.

Is this right? Is there only one reservoir for the oil for both gear and hydraulic function (I get that, no problem) but two different filters at different ends of the unit.

I've tried googling and the manual, but cannot be 100% certain. Anyone familiar with this?

Thanks in advance.

That is the norm these days on modern tractors ,,,just make sure you use the correct spec of oil ...ie. Hy Tran or Hy Guard which is purposely made for transmission/hydraulic systems that use the same sump .

Typical systems like A Case 4230 uses same oil all round including the brakes,steering and clutch reservoirs which are topped up automatically.

Thanks for the explanation. I've just been to the dealer for the correct oil so no worries there.
