Net Horsepower:
Typically slightly lower than gross HP, specific value to be found in the manual.
Torque:
Specific torque figures will be detailed in the WSRM, crucial for understanding engine load capacity.
Injection System:
Indirect injection (typical for this engine size and era).
Fuel Filter Part Number:
Refer to Parts Catalogue (e.g., likely a generic Kubota diesel filter, specific part number needed).
Length:
Approximate: 95-105 inches (without mower deck) - varies with configuration.
Width:
Approximate: 45-55 inches (tractor body, without mower deck) - varies with tire size and configuration.
Height:
Approximate: 50-60 inches to operator platform - varies with tire size and configuration.
Wheelbase:
Refer to manual for exact dimensions, critical for stability and maneuverability.
Cargo Capacity:
N/A for tractor itself, but towing capacity and front loader lift capacity (if equipped) are relevant and found in manual.
Operating Weight:
Approximate: 1,500 - 2,000 lbs (without attachments) - exact weight listed in manual.
Towing Capacity:
Specified in manual, dependent on tractor configuration and drawbar rating.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100-200 operating hours or annually, depending on operating conditions. Specific interval in manual.
Engine Oil Filter Replacement:
At every engine oil change. Specific Kubota part number for oil filter will be in the Parts Catalogue.
Air Filter Service:
Check and clean at 50-hour intervals, replace as needed. Critical for engine longevity. Specific part number in Parts Catalogue.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Typically every 200-400 operating hours or annually. Essential for preventing fuel system issues. Specific part number in Parts Catalogue.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 200-400 operating hours or annually. Critical for HST and hydraulic system health. Manual will specify interval and fluid type.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Often same interval as hydraulic fluid for HST systems. Refer to manual for specific recommendation.
Greasing Points:
Daily or weekly greasing of pivot points, PTO shafts, linkages, and steering components is essential. Manual will detail all locations.
Engine Oil Specification:
Kubota recommends specific SAE viscosity grades (e.g., SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 diesel engine oil) meeting API classification (e.g., API CI-4 or higher). Exact spec in manual.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Refer to manual, typically around 4-5 quarts (liters) for this engine size.
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze mixture, typically 50/50 with distilled water. Manual will specify type and capacity.
Common Wear Items:
Wear on mower deck bearings, PTO clutches, hydrostatic pump/motor components, and drive belts are common. Manual provides diagnostic and repair procedures.
Electrical Gremlins:
Corrosion on connectors and switch failures can occur over time, especially in damp environments. Wiring diagrams are crucial for troubleshooting.
Hydraulic Performance:
Loss of hydraulic power or slow operation can indicate pump wear, filter blockage, or fluid contamination. Manual addresses these issues.
