have
been
developed
for
use
of a low-

engines.
When
an
off-road vehicle
engine
runs
on a high-sulfur fuel, it is
advisable
to
employ
the
"OF or better" lubricating oil with a high Total
Base
Number
(TBN of 10 minimum).

Transmission
Oil:
The
oil
used
to
lubricate
the
transmission
is
also
used
as
hydraulic fluid. To
insure
proper
operation
of
the
hydraulic
system
and
to
complete
lubrication of
the
transmission,
it is
important
that
a
multi-grade
transmission
fluid is
used
in
this
system.
We
recommend
the
use
of
KUBOTA
UDT
or
SUPER
UDT
fluid
for
optimum
protection
and
performance.
(Consult
your
local KUBOTA
Dealer
for
further
detail.)
Do
not
mix different
brands
together.
Indicated
