Type:
Kubota Diesel Engine (specific model variants will differ across T1880, T2080, T2380)
Displacement:
Likely in the range of 1.0L to 1.5L (e.g., D782, D902, or similar Kubota diesel series).
Horsepower Range:
Approximately 18 HP to 23 HP, depending on the specific model designation (T1880, T2080, T2380).
Torque Characteristics:
Designed for strong low-end torque typical of Kubota diesel engines, ideal for PTO-driven implements and heavy loads.
Injection Type:
Direct injection (typical for Kubota small diesels).
Length:
Varies by model and configuration (e.g., with mower deck), typically 70-90 inches.
Width:
Varies by mower deck size, typically 40-60 inches (tractor width itself will be narrower).
Height:
Varies by model and configuration, typically 40-50 inches to operator station.
Operating Weight:
Approximately 800-1200 lbs (tractor only), depending on model and configuration.
Tire Size Front:
Commonly 16x6.5-8 or similar turf tire sizes.
Tire Size Rear:
Commonly 20x10-8 or similar turf tire sizes.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 50-100 operating hours or annually, depending on usage and operating conditions (specifics in manual).
Air Filter Replacement:
Inspect regularly, replace as needed or at least annually/per operating hours (refer to manual).
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Typically annually or per operating hours (refer to manual).
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 200-400 operating hours or bi-annually (refer to manual).
Engine Oil Type:
Kubota Diesel Engine Oil (e.g., SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40, refer to manual for specific viscosity based on ambient temperature).
Engine Oil Capacity:
Will vary by engine model, likely 3.5-5.5 quarts (refer to manual).
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Kubota UDT (Universal Drive Train) Fluid or equivalent, or ISO VG 32 Hydraulic Oil for certain applications (refer to manual).
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid Capacity:
Will vary by model, typically 4-6 gallons (refer to manual).
Coolant Type:
Permanent type antifreeze (e.g., ethylene glycol based), 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Common Wear Items:
Hydrostatic transmission fluid and filter, mower deck spindle bearings, PTO clutch, battery, and tires.
Preventative Maintenance:
Regular cleaning of radiator fins and cooling system, proper lubrication, and adherence to service intervals are critical for longevity.
