I have never seen such fine engineering to change the anti-freeze on a vehicle/machine as the B3030. There is a dedicated petcock that is easily accessible to drain the fluid. The overflow tank simply slides off a bracket for removal.
Well done Kubota!

It was easy on my JD 4010. The 4010 had the same size block drain plugs and thermostat vent plugs as the Benz 240D that we had for 25 years. It also had a nice drain cock for the radiator. The key to getting everything drained and refilled easily is that vent plug on the thermostat.

I did mine back when I installed my block heater. I folded a piece of aluminum foil to direct the coolant from the drain into my pan. Made for a much neater job.
