Displacement:
Around 1.8 Liters (Exact displacement will be specified in the manual.)
Injection System:
Direct Injection, Mechanical or Electronic (depending on specific sub-model/year)
Oil Capacity:
Refer to manual for specific capacity (typically 5-7 quarts/liters)
Cooling Type:
Liquid Cooling
Transmission Type:
GST (Glide Shift Transmission)
Transmission Description:
Hydrostatic transmission with electronic control for smooth speed and range changes, often featuring a synchronized shuttle for forward/reverse.
Optional Transmissions:
Typically no optional transmissions for GST models; it's a defining feature.
Gear Selection:
Electronic shift controls, likely with multiple speed ranges (e.g., L, M, H) and PTO speed selection.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Kubota UDT (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) or equivalent specified in manual (e.g., SAE 80W-90 gear oil for some components).
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100 hours or annually, whichever comes first.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Typically every 500-1000 hours, or as specified in the manual.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 500-1000 hours, or as specified in the manual.
Air Filter Replacement:
Inspect every 50 hours, replace as needed or every 250-500 hours.
Engine Oil Specification:
Kubota SUPER UDT Fluid or API CE/CF/SF, SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 diesel engine oil (check manual for exact spec and viscosity based on temperature).
Transmission Oil Specification:
Kubota UDT Fluid (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) or equivalent per manual (e.g., SAE 80W-90 for some components).
Hydraulic Fluid Specification:
Kubota UDT Fluid or equivalent per manual (often same as transmission).
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, 50/50 mix with distilled water. Kubota Super UDT is also often used as a universal fluid for hydraulics and transmission.
Common Wear Items:
Hydraulic filter clogging, PTO clutch wear, GST transmission control valve sensitivity, glow plug issues in cold weather.
Electrical Gremlins:
Wiring harness abrasion in high-flex areas, sensor failures (e.g., PTO sensor, range sensor).
