Engine Model Family:
Kubota Diesel (Specific engine model not explicitly stated, but likely a 3-cylinder diesel common in this class)
Horsepower Estimate:
Estimated around 40-45 PTO horsepower for the L4310 series (typical for this model designation).
Injection Type:
Direct Injection Diesel (Standard for Kubota diesels of this era).
Filtration:
Located within the component list, likely a dry-type air filter system with an accessible cover kit.
Type:
The model designation indicates multiple transmission options: DT (likely Gear Drive), GST (Gear Shift Transmission - Kubota's term for synchro shuttle), HST (Hydrostatic Transmission).
Shuttle Operation:
Shuttle Shift Fork component listed suggests forward/reverse power shuttle capability on certain models.
Control Type:
HST models would feature foot pedal control for variable speed and direction.
Operating Weight Estimate:
Likely in the 2500-3000 lbs (1134-1361 kg) range, depending on configuration (ROPS, cab, tires).
Drawbar Capacity Estimate:
Standard for this class, capable of towing typical farm implements and trailers.
Front Tire Size:
8.3-16 (as specified in the manual)
Rear Tire Size:
Typically 13.6-16 or similar for this tractor class (not explicitly stated in provided info but common).
Features:
Tractor technology of this era is focused on mechanical operation and basic electrical functions, not infotainment systems. Dashboard typically includes essential gauges and warning lights.
Features:
No advanced driver assistance systems. Focus is on mechanical controls for PTO engagement, implement lifting, and transmission operation.
Features:
No connectivity features (e.g., Bluetooth, GPS).
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100-200 hours of operation or annually, depending on usage and oil quality. Exact interval would be in a service manual.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Often recommended every 500-1000 hours or annually, depending on operating conditions.
Engine Oil Type:
Kubota recommends API CI-4 or higher, SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 diesel engine oil. Check specific manual for precise viscosity based on ambient temperature.
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid Type:
Kubota UDT (Universal Tractor Transmission) Fluid or equivalent. Capacity is significant and listed in the service manual.
Common Wear Points:
As with most tractors of this age, potential wear points include the clutch (especially in heavy-use HST models), hydraulic pump efficiency, and PTO components. Seals and O-rings can degrade over time.
Electrical Concerns:
Battery connections, starter solenoid, and alternator are common electrical wear items. Wiring harnesses can also degrade.
Engine Oil Filter:
Part numbers are highly specific and would be listed within the manual or a cross-reference. Common aftermarket numbers would exist.
Fuel Filter:
Specific part numbers are crucial for proper filtration. The manual aids in identifying the correct ones.
Brand Reputation:
Kubota is renowned for its reliable and durable compact and sub-compact tractors, known for quality diesel engines and robust construction.
Series Context:
The L4310 belongs to the L-Series, which has been a cornerstone of Kubota's compact tractor lineup, representing a mid-range offering with increased power and capability over smaller models.
Estimated Production Years:
The L4310 series was primarily produced in the early to mid-2000s (e.g., circa 2000-2006).
