This was posted on our internal Kubota website. Good information for everyone.
Recently, a dealer reported that a sales person had sold him some “Super UDT” made by Royal Manufacturing. The packaging had both the “Kubota” name and “Super-UDT” on the label. We sent the manufacturer a request to discontinue marketing products under our trademarks, and they quickly agreed to do so. We also sent a sample of their product to Kubota Japan and to an Oil testing laboratory in the U.S. to see if the product was indeed similar to Super-UDT.
It was not. Instead, it was very similar to regular UDT. Since this discovery, we have requested that XXX provide us with the names of any customers who bought this misrepresented product so we can notify them individually of the test results. So far, XXX have not complied.
Super-UDT is a premium lubricant compared to UDT or other universal hydraulic and transmission fluid. Somehow, it has gotten the reputation as a cold-weather product, but it is much more than that. Super-UDT reduces gear wear, chatter, and brake squawk. Of course, it is also provides better performance in operating conditions with extreme hot and cold temperatures.
