Engine Type Common:
Liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, naturally aspirated direct injection diesel engines.
Fuel Injection System:
Bosch inline injection pump (specific model varies by engine) and unit injectors.
Engine Oil Type:
Kubota recommends API CE or CF service classification diesel engine oil. SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 depending on ambient temperature (refer to manual for specifics).
Engine Oil Capacity:
Varies by engine model, typically around 6.0-7.5 liters (refer to manual for exact capacity).
Transmission Type Common:
Hydrostatic Transmission (HST) and Manual Shuttle Transmission (MST) options available across the series.
Transmission Options:
Specific models within the series offered different transmission configurations. The manual covers both HST and MST variants.
Hst Features:
Infinite speed adjustment, smooth acceleration and deceleration, cruise control functionality.
Hst Fluid Type:
Kubota Super UDT hydraulic oil (or equivalent specified by Kubota).
Hst Fluid Capacity:
Varies by model, typically around 20-30 liters (refer to manual for exact capacity).
Engine Oil And Filter Change:
Typically every 100 or 200 operating hours, or annually, whichever comes first (refer to specific model recommendations in the manual).
Transmission Fluid Change:
Recommended at regular intervals, often 400 or 800 operating hours, including filter replacement (refer to manual).
Air Filter Service:
Service or replacement based on operating conditions and dust levels, as indicated by maintenance indicators or inspection.
Hydraulic Fluid Specification:
Kubota Super UDT (Universal Drive Train) hydraulic oil is highly recommended for the HST transmission and hydraulic system. Other specifications may apply for MST models.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear (MST), HST pump and motor wear, hydraulic cylinder seal leaks, PTO clutch wear, and universal joint wear are common on higher-hour units.
Electrical Connections:
Corrosion or looseness in electrical connectors, particularly around the starter, alternator, and safety switches, can cause intermittent issues.
Engine Oil Filter L2900 Example:
Kubota part number for engine oil filter may be in the HH series, e.g., HH150-32090 (verification required via manual or specific parts catalog).
Hst Filter L3300 Example:
