The BX1500 is also significant for having Kubota;s new-design, direct injection small diesel engine. This design in various forms will eventually replace many of the Super mini engines whose design dates back to the early 1980's. Kubota has published a Society of Automotive Engineer's technical paper on the new design. It is paper number 2001-01-1810. One can buy it by download, fax, or regular mail from the SAE web site. The German company Hatz also has a new direct-injection small diesel coming out. It has an innovative aluminum engine block. It will be interesting to see if this new engine makes inroads into the grounds maintenance market.

In addition to the excellent Chevron Synthetic All-Weather transmission hydraulic fluid that meets Kubota Super UDT specifications, Petro Canada makes Duratran Synthetic hydraulic fluid that is stated to replace Super UDT. Don't know where to buy it, but their USA phone number is 1-888-284-4572. Synthetics tend to perform very well at high temperatures and that may interest other Kubota ZD-21 owners. Unlike the ZD-28, the ZD-21 does not have a cooling loop to help cool the transmission fluid. Amsoil hydraulic fluid is stated to meet UDT criteria, but is not listed to meet Super UDT specifications. Does anyone know of other suppliers that meet Super UDT criteria?
