Torque Estimated:
Specific torque figures vary by model but expect robust low-end torque typical of diesel engines.
Injection System:
Indirect injection (likely).
Fuel Filter Part Number Example:
Commonly found Kubota fuel filters might be in the 16281-43010 range, but verification is essential.
Cooling Type:
Liquid-cooled
Radiator Cap Pressure Estimated:
Typically around 0.9-1.1 kgf/cm² (13-15.7 psi) for a healthy cooling system.
Overall Length Estimated:
Approximately 95-100 inches (without attachments).
Overall Width Estimated:
Approximately 45-50 inches (without attachments).
Operating Weight Estimated:
Around 1,300 - 1,500 lbs (without attachments, fluids).
Drawbar Horsepower Estimated:
Likely in the 12-14 HP range.
Dashboard Features:
Basic instrument panel with indicators for engine temperature, oil pressure, battery charge, fuel level, PTO engagement, and operating hours. May include diagnostic lights.
Operator Comfort Features:
Ergonomic operator's station, adjustable seat, power steering (on most models) for ease of operation.
Diagnostic Ports:
Likely features diagnostic connectors or access points for service technicians, though not typically user-facing 'connectivity' in the automotive sense.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 50-100 hours or annually, whichever comes first. (Refer to manual for exact interval).
Air Filter Replacement:
As needed, based on operating conditions, but check at every 50-hour service. (Refer to manual).
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Typically every 200-400 hours or annually. (Refer to manual).
Hydrostatic Fluid Change:
Usually every 400-600 hours or every 2-3 years. (Refer to manual for specific fluid and interval).
Engine Oil Type:
Kubota UDT Fluid or equivalent API CF/CG-4 or higher, SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 diesel engine oil (verify with manual).
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid:
Kubota UDT (Universal Transmission Fluid) or equivalent. Specific viscosity and type are critical. (Verify with manual).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze mixture (typically 50/50 with distilled water). (Refer to manual for specific type and capacity).
Engine Oil Capacity Estimated:
Approximately 3.5 - 4.0 liters (3.7 - 4.2 US quarts) including filter. (Verify with manual).
