Braking System:
Typically internal expanding shoe or disc brakes, mechanically operated.
Lighting:
Standard headlights, tail lights, and turn signals for road legality in many regions.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100-250 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first. Specific interval found in manual.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended every 250-500 operating hours or as needed, depending on fuel quality.
Air Filter Service:
Check and clean/replace regularly, especially in dusty conditions. Interval typically 50-100 hours.
Engine Oil Type:
Kubota specifies API CG-4 or CH-4 grade diesel engine oil, typically SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 depending on ambient temperature. Consult manual for precise recommendation.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Kubota UDT (Universal Drive Train) fluid or equivalent tractor hydraulic fluid. Capacity varies, typically around 20-30 liters. Consult manual for exact specification and capacity.
Transmission Fluid Type:
If separate from hydraulic fluid, often a GL-4 rated gear oil or specific tractor transmission fluid. Consult manual.
Gear Oil Type:
Front axle and final drive gear oil specifications (e.g., SAE 80W-90 API GL-4 or GL-5). Consult manual.
Common Problems:
Potential issues can include wear on clutch components, hydraulic system leaks, glow plug failure in cold weather, and typical diesel engine maintenance needs like injector service over time. Specific to the STA series, issues might relate to the HST unit if heavily used.
