Engine Family:
Kubota Diesel Engine (Specific model varies by sub-model)
Engine Displacement Examples:
Typically in the 1.0L to 1.5L range (e.g., D902 for similar models, but B2710 may use a specific variant)
Horsepower Gross Examples:
Around 26-27 HP (Gross)
Engine Type:
3-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-cycle diesel
Rated Engine Speed:
Typically around 2600-2800 RPM
Torque Curve:
Designed for strong low-end torque for pulling and implement operation
Fuel Injection Type:
Direct Injection (DI) or Indirect Injection (IDI) depending on specific engine variant within the B2710 series
Fuel Filter Type:
Cartridge type spin-on or inline filter
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 50-100 hours or annually, whichever comes first (refer to manual for exact interval)
Hydraulic Oil Change:
Typically every 200-400 hours or bi-annually
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Typically every 100-200 hours or annually
Air Filter Inspection:
Inspect every 50 hours, clean/replace as needed
Engine Oil Type:
Kubota UDT Fluid or equivalent (e.g., SAE 10W-30 API CD/CE/CF or HD Diesel Engine Oil)
Hydraulic Oil Type:
Kubota UDT (Universal Tractor Drive) Fluid is recommended. Can also use Kubota Super UDT Fluid. Alternative: ISO VG 32 or 46 hydraulic oil if UDT is unavailable, but UDT is preferred for wet brakes and transmission.
Transmission Fluid Type:
