I should add, my sheet said check brake oil, but it actually means power steering fluid… There is no brake oil in the tractor! Good old Chinese translation…
Thanks, you save me a lot of researching just by watching your 26min video. Detailed everything so well and i even knew what oil i had to buy and how much i needed before i started to do mine. Cheers mate much appreciated.
This was so helpful as well as your other videos on the Auger, Slasher and Back hoe. Thank you very much. I too am located a long way from a service centre and have no experience with Tractors so it has been invaluable watching your videos. Thanks once again !! PS. I own a 75hp version with all the same attachments,
Nicely done video! Thank you for locking the loader arms up for safety. I repair tractors for a living and I cringe when I see people working under loaders that have not been secured!!
Thankyou so much for such a great detailed vid. It has helped me so much. I am in the process of first service on my little 25Hp UHI tractor(I have named Margaret). Took me 3 days to get the flamin oil filter off, lol. Determined to do it by myself, as like you said its great way to get to know your tractor. I am almost up to the fuel filter bit nervous. Just wanted to drop in a message of thanks.
@@GoingOffGridAus thanks. You were spot on about the oil filter, I ended up breaking my rubber strap filter remover, and will have to get something else to remove it tomorrow. You also saved me from putting the wrong oil in the rear diff / transmission as I was going to put in the 80w- 90 gear oil that UHI had advised but went and bought today 40 litres of Castrol Transmax Agri. Thanks Again
Hey mate just bought the 454 and thanks to your video u have cleared up alot of confusion for me with my up coming service only thing I didn't get was a service kit I'm hoping repco or a like will have a after market cheers was very helpful 🍻
now you have had this tractor for over a year now, have you found any issues with it or would you be happy to reccomend UHI tractors to other people looking for something to tackle a small property? i'm in WA as well and recently moved on to 7 acres and have been looking at the 354, for the money and attachments it seems to tick all the boxes? great house build as well, i have enjoyed the progress.
Some more helpful information that should be in the manual. I knocked off a coolant pipe pushing some scrub (don't know if it was loose to start with), the 75 hP took 14L of coolant to fill it back up and I don't know if it was completely empty to start with.
Hi Andy I have a 65 hp and have been having overheating issues I have only had the tractor 12 months and there is lots of corrosion in my radiator what coolant do you use red or green what pressure rating is on your radiator cap
@@DavidDouglas-sk9yr I used the Red 'NULON Heavy Duty Diesel Coolant' from Supercheap. I started with the 5L premix and then I purchased the Concentrate. The concentrate said to mix it 1:1 but I mixed it 1 part concentrate to 2 parts water (I purchase two 5L distilled water and used those two bottles plus the empty pre-mix bottle to give me 15 L mixed in three 5L bottles of which I used 9 L to re-fill after the 5 L pre-mix). It has been running fine for me since. I have had overheating issues during summer (I have the Cab with the Air Con and I am working in North Qld). I found the issue I had was the very dusty long grass I was slashing clogged up the mesh screen in front of the radiator. I Just watched the temperature sensor and when it got over 80 degrees I would stop the tractor, put my hand under the grill and lift that screen 30 to 50 mm and let it drop. Do that two or three times and all the dust would fall off, get back in the tractor and start it up and within 2 min the temperature dropped back down to 60 degrees or so until it started creeping back up as I worked. Note that I only had this issue while mowing with a flail mower, in very dusty conditions, while disking , using the forklift, auguring holes no overheating issues, though the A/C does struggle.
G'day Andrew Thankyou for your video very helpful translating chinenglish for your oil types and Qty's . One other thing to check is these engines well most of them have there own oil in the fuel pump check at the very back of the injector fuel pump for a small dip stick . don't have a service interval for the injector pump oil change if there are lubrication pipes between inj pump and mail oil gallery no service is required . My vt65 victory has 13lt eng oil capacity CD GRADE non turbo + CF for turbo engine 15w/40 foe -10*c to 30*c . My engine book also shows a grease nipple on the Water Pump .🚜
Great video love the tractor but you have done a great job explaining oil types and quantities required I have a 65 ph and am having a lot of overheating issues what coolant do you use red or green and what pressure is on your radiator cap mine is 0.9 It’s a shame there is so little English translation for these machines
Thanks for taking the time on these videos mate. I haven’t yet bought one, but am thinking seriously about it as the work you are doing is similar to what I would need it for. One exception is that I have a 100acre Forrest on my place and do a little bit of logging. Do you think your model could handle towing out 3.5m hard wood logs (few hills), loading them onto the mill with the forks and doing a bit of track clean up with the FEL and back blade?
No worries mate, Towing logs out would be no issue at all, heaps of torque in the lower range gears. Having said that, you would be able to tow many times more weight that the forks would be able to lift. I have used my forks to the limit, once you get up around their working limit they still have plenty of power in the hydraulics but you start lifting the rear wheels off the ground (especially because I have no flat ground) you can stop this a bit by connecting the slasher on the rear for extra balance but just keep it in mind, dont plan on lifting logs over 600 - 700 kg too often. Track clean up would be no worries. I have done plenty of it 👍
Thanks mate, the only issue I have hd is some linkage issues with engaging the clutch, but UHI have been pretty great to deal with sorting it out for me.
Hi, I have the 65HP version of the UHI tractor, and am looking to do my first service also. However, I do not have the paperwork that you showed on the video. Did UHI provide that to you, or did you downlaod it somewhere? Thanks
Good video. I'll watch all the others. I sincerely hope the company has done some major work on their supplied documentation for the machines since video was made. Incorrectly labelled filler caps, only approximate quantities of oil listed, (9 or 10 litres), substitute oil grades suggested by a mechanic, are concerning. A local, dated info sheet, should be sent out to past customers, with any problems discovered, that are not easily available on their website. The DIY service ability is a great arrangement, with good doco, it would get good star rating.
Lol, service my UHI1004 a couple of months ago. Thought at the time, it'd be good they had done a video like yours then... Nice you took time to document it on yours! 🤞👌👏 Might have missed it...Greasing all nipples?🤔 Also, the manual was so wrong on oil needs, no engine oil on dipstick after 10L as indicated...Got after sales to send me a new sheet with quantities much closer to requirements. Engine oil needed wasn't 10L but 24L to full mark and after start to fill oil filter too. Rear+transmission oil was not 24L but closer to 80L... Right quantities allow to have enough to complete service, rather than getting stuck like me over the weekend...😱😉
Yep thats what I did. The trans and rear diff share the same fluid so they told me to use a transmission fluid. The front is just a diff so used the 80-90.
I dont have the maintenance manual on me. But from memory it said to change out the hydraulic oil and filter (which that tank is part of) at 100 hours, I will double check the paperwork next time I am at the property though.
@@GoingOffGridAus I got about 6 hours on it now and it was only the first hour that the exhaust smoked (I have an A/C cab so the exhaust's right there in front of me). I recall the dealer showed me a unit they were getting ready for someone and they were touching up the paint on everything as they had people complaining about scratches (on a tractor) so they must have put some paint on the exhaust that has now burnt off. Thanks for the video, I went and got an oil pump as soon as I committed to the UHI and I like the idea of the tarp under the machine.
@@GoingOffGridAus how many hours you got on your tractor now? Can you check if your spec sheet says anything about what fluid to use for power steering? Mine needs replacement
You have an acre of room under the tractor to get at the oil filter,,,I don't understand why you are trying to get it from the side where there is very obviously no room,,,
I wouldn't recommend cleaning the air filter,,,There seems to be a belief that they can be blown out and ,,,,,,,,,,presto,,,,,,There clean again,,,,,,Once the medium gets dirt and dust on it,,Its impregnated for good,,,just replace it,,The last thing you want is to dust your cylinder bores,,,,,
Hey mate can I please call you? I'm just doing my service now but I believe I got the wrong parts. I've tried calling uhi but it's going to message bank *thumbs down*

I blame many years working in the mines, safety first :)
Good job mate, saved me a few phone calls and confusion with the stickers. Appreciate your effort to post. Cheers.
14:00 I reckon is all the way around, you should be using the 85W-90 on the rear and the 10w-30 at the front

thanks for this advice mate. Really appreciated. @@GoingOffGridAus
Could you tell us how much the fluids cost approx and when is the next service??? The tractor looks great, very heavy strong construction.
I got all mine from supercheap, was still close to $300 from memory, but next fluid service change isn’t till 200 hours or something like that.
Great Vids on the UHI gear. Exactly what I was looking for. Have you had other any issues with it ?
Thanks mate, the only issue I have hd is some linkage issues with engaging the clutch, but UHI have been pretty great to deal with sorting it out for me.
Great to know, keep the vids going. Very helpful. Thanks a lot.
Great info but where did you get the capacities? There is nothing for my 454.
I got a little service sheet in my email when I purchased it. You could probably contact UHI and they will email it to you.
@GoingOffGridAus So did I but it has nothing about capacities.
You can also remove the whole loader arm assembly which would make access much easier.
Now thats a video i would like to watch . C`mon Adrew do a video on that for me lol.
@@deanweigand3299 It only takes a few minutes. Easy as.

Hey mate. Can I ask what oil types you used for trans and front diff was it argtrans UTTF for the trans and 80-90 for front dif?
Yep thats what I did. The trans and rear diff share the same fluid so they told me to use a transmission fluid. The front is just a diff so used the 80-90.
Sweet thanks heaps man getting mine delivered tommorow. Any other tips I should check before using
Did you just use the argtrans UTTF oil for rear differential and transmission @GoingOffGrudAus ?
How have you found the tractor. Any warranty issues. They have some horrific reviews.
All good, found them really easy to work with getting info on servicing etc.
What checking and maintenance does your manual say about the oil tank between the tail lights ? My rig has one as well, but no mention in my manual.
I dont have the maintenance manual on me. But from memory it said to change out the hydraulic oil and filter (which that tank is part of) at 100 hours, I will double check the paperwork next time I am at the property though.
@@GoingOffGridAus Thank you !!!
How many different oil/fuel filters is there? 3 or 4?
Thanks
The 4th one is on the rear. I think it's a hydraulic oil filter. Not sure how often it needs replacing, do you? Awesome video by the way.
Just go a 75. Did your exhaust smoke and smell like it was on fire when you fist got you UHI?
No mine was pretty good, although I wasn’t there when it was offloaded from the truck on delivery so it may have on the initial run.
@@GoingOffGridAus I got about 6 hours on it now and it was only the first hour that the exhaust smoked (I have an A/C cab so the exhaust's right there in front of me).

@@bluey2809 They are happy for you to do it yourself as long as it is all documented. Doesn’t affect warranty.
Hi great video any chance of getting a a couple of photos of the oil you got thanks
Is there a small inner air filter?
Yeah, the air filter is a 2 piece setup with inner and outer.
does anyone have a list of the oils they have used on the 65hp please
What model engine does this have? Mines a laidong 100bt
Not sure, ill have to check tomorrow
@@GoingOffGridAus how many hours you got on your tractor now? Can you check if your spec sheet says anything about what fluid to use for power steering? Mine needs replacement
@@GoingOffGridAus also, what about the fluid for the injector pump or does it share with the engine?
What is the brand of this tractor?
UHI - United Heavy Industries. One of a few Australian suppliers of this tractor which all come from the same factory in China.
Who actually manufactures the UHI tractor?
You have an acre of room under the tractor to get at the oil filter,,,I don't understand why you are trying to get it from the side where there is very obviously no room,,,

They're all made in china nowdays
