Engine Series Common:
Kubota D1105, D1305, D1402, D1503 (Specific engine varies by model within the series, e.g., B1710 typically has D1105, B2110 D1305, B2410 D1402/D1503, B2710 D1503).
Common Horsepower Range:
Approximately 17 HP to 27 HP (Gross Horsepower) depending on the specific model and engine.
Engine Type:
Diesel, 3-cylinder, water-cooled, 4-stroke cycle.
Fuel Injection Type:
Direct injection, indirect injection (depending on specific engine variant within the series).
Oil Type Recommendation:
Kubota UDT Fluid or equivalent ISO VG 32/46 hydraulic oil (for transmission/hydraulic reservoir); API CF or CF-4 rated diesel engine oil (e.g., SAE 10W-30, 15W-40 depending on temperature) for engine crankcase.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze with water (typically 50/50 mix) for freeze and corrosion protection.
Engine Designation Common:
Vertical, water-cooled, 4-cycle diesel engines.
Transmission Type Standard:
Hydrostatic Transmission (HST) on most models, providing variable speed control and ease of operation.
Transmission Type Optional:
Some variations might offer gear-type transmissions, though HST is predominant in this series.
Pto Speeds:
Rear PTO typically operates at 540 RPM, with potential for a 2000 RPM or 1000 RPM option depending on the model. Mid PTO may also be available on some configurations.
Drive Type:
4WD (Four-Wheel Drive) on most configurations, with selectable 2WD/4WD engagement.
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
Kubota UDT (Universal Transmission and Differential) fluid or equivalent ISO VG 32/46 hydraulic oil. Check specific model for exact recommendation.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Consult the manual for precise intervals based on operating conditions.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Recommended every 500 or 1000 hours, or annually. Filter replacement is critical at each fluid change.
Air Filter Replacement:
Check and clean regularly, replace as needed or based on hour intervals (e.g., every 200-400 hours).
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended every 200-400 hours or annually. Bleeding the fuel system after replacement is crucial.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Approximately 4.5 to 5.5 liters (4.7 to 5.8 US quarts) for the engine crankcase, depending on model and filter.
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid Capacity:
Approximately 17 to 23 liters (4.5 to 6.0 US gallons) for the HST transmission and hydraulic system, depending on model and specific configuration (e.g., presence of front loader hydraulic reservoir).
Coolant Capacity:
Approximately 4.0 to 5.0 liters (4.2 to 5.3 US quarts) for the cooling system.
Common Wear Items:
Hydrostatic transmission (HST) wear, clutch wear, PTO engagement issues, hydraulic pump performance degradation over time, and potential overheating if cooling system is neglected.
Electrical Gremlins:
Occasional issues with starter solenoids, alternator connections, and wiring harness integrity due to vibration and environmental exposure.
Filter Clogging:
Fuel and hydraulic filters can clog prematurely if contaminated fuel or fluid is used, or if maintenance is neglected.
Hst Performance Checks:
Ensuring correct fluid level and quality, checking for external leaks, and verifying proper operation of the forward/reverse pedal linkage are key for HST longevity.
