Diesel, Naturally Aspirated or Turbocharged
Horsepower:
Likely in the 25-30 PTO horsepower range. The exact gross and PTO HP will be specified.
Displacement:
Estimated 1.8 - 2.4 Liters (specific engine model will confirm).
Injection:
Direct injection, typically with an inline injection pump or rotary pump depending on the specific engine.
Engine Oil:
Typically every 50-100 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first. Consult manual for specific intervals and oil type.
Fuel Filter:
Recommended replacement every 200-400 operating hours or as needed based on fuel quality. Bleeding procedures are critical.
Air Filter:
Regular inspection and cleaning/replacement based on operating conditions (dusty environments require more frequent attention).
Hydraulic Fluid Filter:
Replace every 400-600 operating hours, depending on usage and hydraulic system cleanliness.
Engine Oil:
Kubota recommends specific viscosity grades, often SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 API CD or CF-4 rated diesel engine oil. Check manual for exact specification.
Hydraulic Fluid:
Kubota UDT (Universal Transmission Fluid) or equivalent is typically recommended for the transmission, hydraulics, and differential. Consult manual for precise specifications and capacity.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant with a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. Specific type and capacity will be detailed.
Common Wear Items:
Potential for wear on PTO clutch packs, hydraulic pump seals, and steering components over extended use, particularly with heavy implement use.
Fuel Delivery:
Clogged fuel filters or air in the fuel lines can lead to starting issues or loss of power. Regular bleeding is important.
Hydraulic Leaks:
Seals in cylinders or hoses can degrade over time, leading to hydraulic leaks and potential loss of system performance.
