Engine Model:
Likely a Kubota gasoline engine (e.g., similar to models found in GR2100 or similar series).
Engine Type:
Vertical shaft gasoline engine, typically liquid-cooled for better performance and longevity in this class.
Displacement:
Likely in the range of 600cc to 1000cc, depending on specific GR2000G variant and engine option. For example, GR2100 often featured a 21hp engine around 650cc.
Horsepower Rating:
Typically rated between 18-21 HP (gross), though net horsepower will be lower. Specific rating depends on engine model.
Torque Rating:
Specific torque figures are engine-model dependent but designed for strong lugging power.
Fuel Delivery:
Likely a carburetor system or potentially electronic fuel injection (EFI) on later or higher-spec models, though carburetor is more common for this era.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded Gasoline
Cooling Method:
Liquid-cooled
Transmission Type:
Hydrostatic Transmission (HST)
Drive System:
2WD (Two-Wheel Drive) or 4WD (Four-Wheel Drive) depending on specific GR2000G variant.
Optional Transmission:
N/A (HST is standard for this model line)
Cruise Control:
Often equipped with cruise control for consistent mowing speeds.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Specific Kubota UDT (Universal Transmission Fluid) or equivalent is critical. Refer to manual for exact specification and part number.
Wheelbase:
Specifics vary, but typically around 50-55 inches for this class.
Turning Radius:
Known for its 'GlideCut' or similar system providing a very tight turning radius, often under 10 inches.
Approximate Weight:
Typically around 500-700 lbs (tractor only), depending on configuration.
Safety Certification:
Designed to meet relevant safety standards for agricultural and lawn equipment.
Operator Presence Control:
Standard safety feature that stops the engine and PTO if the operator leaves the seat.
Parking Brake:
Mechanical parking brake for secure stopping.
Rops:
Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) may be an option or standard, especially on higher HP models, for operator protection.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 50-100 hours of operation, or annually, whichever comes first. Specific interval depends on operating conditions.
Air Filter Service:
Inspect and clean every 25-50 hours, replace as needed or annually. More frequent service in dusty conditions.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Typically annually or every 100-200 hours. Crucial for preventing fuel system issues.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Refer to manual; often around 200-400 hours or every 2-3 years. Critical for HST longevity.
Engine Oil Type:
SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 API SJ/SL/SM rated. Refer to manual for exact viscosity and API rating for your climate.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Typically 1.5 - 2.0 quarts (approx. 1.4 - 1.9 liters), depending on engine model. Check dipstick.
Transmission Fluid Specification:
Kubota UDT (Universal Transmission Fluid) or approved equivalent. Do not substitute with standard hydraulic fluid or tractor fluid unless explicitly stated.
Transmission Fluid Capacity:
Capacity varies; check manual for specific GR2000G model. Typically around 3-4 liters for HST reservoir.
Grease Type:
Lithium-based multi-purpose grease.
Common Wear Items:
Deck belts, blade wear, hydrostatic transmission fluid degradation (if not changed per schedule), mower deck spindle bearings, and front caster wheel bearings.
