⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Model Family:

Kubota Direct Injection Diesel

Engine Configuration:

Likely a 4-cylinder, naturally aspirated or turbocharged diesel engine (specific model code like V3300-DI, V3600-DI, or similar).

Gross Horsepower Estimate:

Approximately 80-90 HP (specific rating varies by sub-model and market).

Net Horsepower Estimate:

Approximately 70-80 HP.

Torque Peak Estimate:

Refer to manual for specific torque curve, but typically in the range of 200-250 lb-ft.

Injection Type:

Direct Injection

Diesel

Cooling Type:

Water-cooled

🔧 Transmission

Transmission Type Standard:

Synchromesh Manual Transmission (likely with multiple speeds and range selection, e.g., 16 Forward / 16 Reverse or similar).

Transmission Type Optional:

Possible options could include a PowrReverser (clutchless forward/reverse shuttle) or a hydrostatic transmission (HST) in some configurations.

Pto Speed:

Standard PTO speeds (e.g., 540 RPM, 1000 RPM, or ground speed PTO) controlled by a separate lever or clutch.

Gear Selection:

Multiple gear ranges and speed selections for optimal power application and ground speed.

📐 Dimensions

Wheelbase Approx:

Refer to manual for exact dimensions, but typically in the 80-90 inch range.

Overall Length Approx:

Refer to manual for exact dimensions, but typically in the 130-150 inch range.

Operating Weight Approx:

Around 5,000 - 6,000 lbs (without ballast).

🛡️ Safety Features

ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) equipped, likely with a seatbelt.

Braking System:

Wet disc brakes, providing reliable stopping power.

Operator Station:

Designed with operator safety and comfort in mind, featuring guards and shields on moving parts.

💡 Technology Features

Operator Controls:

Mechanical and hydraulic levers for transmission, PTO, and hydraulics. Basic instrument panel with essential gauges (tachometer, engine temperature, fuel level).

Power Steering:

Hydrostatic power steering for reduced operator fatigue.

Implement Interface:

Standard rear 3-point hitch with draft control and sway bars, typically Category II. PTO and hydraulic remote couplers for implement power and control.

🔧 Maintenance

Engine Oil Change Interval:

Typically every 250 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Consult manual for exact interval.

Hydraulic Fluid Change Interval:

Typically every 500-1000 hours or annually. Consult manual for exact interval and fluid type.

Air Filter Service:

Inspect regularly, replace when dirty. Consult manual for specific interval or condition-based replacement.

Transmission Fluid Change Interval:

If a separate transmission fluid is used, interval will be specified. If integrated with hydraulic, follow hydraulic fluid intervals.

Engine Oil Grade:

Kubota recommends specific API CG-4 or higher diesel engine oils (e.g., 15W-40 or 10W-30 depending on climate). Consult manual for exact specification.

Hydraulic Fluid Type:

Kubota UDT (Universal Transmission Fluid) or equivalent for transmission, hydraulics, and PTO. Consult manual for precise specification.

Coolant Type:

Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors. Consult manual for specific type and mixture ratio.

Common Wear Items:

Clutch plates, brake pads, hydraulic seals, and certain pivot points are common wear items on tractors of this age and type.

Electrical Connection Corrosion:

Corrosion in electrical connectors can sometimes lead to intermittent issues, particularly in humid or exposed environments.
