Engine Model:
Likely a Kubota D-series diesel engine, specific model number requires manual consultation (e.g., D750, D850, or similar).
Horsepower:
Typically in the 15-20 HP range (exact figure dependent on specific engine variant within G1700 model).
Displacement:
Likely in the 0.7 to 1.0-liter range (exact figure requires manual consultation).
Injection Type:
Direct Injection Diesel (common for this era Kubota).
System:
Naturally Aspirated (turbocharging less common in this class/era).
Type:
Hydrostatic Transmission (HST) is a common feature on Kubota G-series tractors, offering variable speed control.
Type:
Manual transmission variants may exist depending on market and specific sub-model, but HST is more prevalent for ease of use.
Drive Modes:
Typically features High/Low range for HST, providing a wide spectrum of working speeds.
Transmission Fluid:
Kubota UDT (Universal Transmission & Differential Fluid) or equivalent is typically recommended for HST systems. Specific grade and type must be confirmed from the manual.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 50-100 operating hours or annually, depending on usage. Manual specifies exact interval and oil type.
Air Filter Replacement:
As needed based on operating conditions, typically checked at daily inspections and replaced when dirty. Manual details inspection intervals.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Periodically, often alongside oil changes or as indicated by the manual.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 200-400 operating hours or annually. Manual provides precise recommendations.
Engine Oil Type:
Kubota Super UDT or an equivalent SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 diesel engine oil is typically recommended. Manual specifies the exact API classification and viscosity.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Manual specifies the correct type and capacity.
Transmission Fluid Capacity:
Requires manual consultation for exact capacity.
Common Wear Items:
Potential wear on hydrostatic transmission components, seals, and hydraulic hoses over time. Regular maintenance is key.
Electrical Gremlins:
Older models may experience issues with wiring harnesses, switches, or relays due to age and exposure.
Hydraulic System:
Leaks or reduced performance in the hydraulic system can occur with age, requiring pump or cylinder seal inspection.
Manufacturer:
