If Transmission Oil is not periodically replaced, damage may occur.
Case Examples:
Gears
Pitching
Scoring
CAUSE
Lubricant deterioration can severely lower the
protection normally provided to contact surfaces with
the result that they are liable to becoming depressed
and peeled. The resulting contamination from
particles accumulating in the lubricant can result in
scratches and impressions leading to the occurrence
of pitching.
CAUSE
Scoring occurs when lubricant deterioration severely
lowers the protection provided when
extreme-pressure occurs so that there is direct
contact between the metals.
Bearings
Flaking
CAUSE
Lubricant deterioration lowers the protective
performance when revolving surfaces come into
contact. The resulting contamination from particles
accumulating in the lubricant can result in the
occurrence of pitching.
Oil
CAUSE
Water contamination generates a whitish Emulsion.
As the amount of Emulsion increases, it is liable to
become Sludge that can possibly clog the
Hydraulic Filter.
Emulsion
As the replacement interval for Transmission Oil
is liable to differ according to model, please refer
to the appropriate operator’s manual provided.
Kubota recommends the use of Kubota
UDT-Series Transmission Oil as the ideal match
for Kubota tractors.
