Transmission Type:
GST (Glide Shift Transmission)
Transmission Description:
Electro-hydraulic hydrostatic transmission with range selection and clutchless shifting capabilities within ranges.
Optional Transmission:
Possibly a gear drive transmission option on some variants, but GST is the hallmark of this model.
Pto Speeds:
Standard rear PTO (e.g., 540 RPM), potentially mid-PTO option.
Forward Speeds:

Reverse Speeds:
Variable via HST.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100-200 hours or annually (specifics in manual).
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Typically every 200-400 hours or as needed based on fuel quality.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 400-800 hours or bi-annually.
Engine Oil:
Kubota recommends specific grades of diesel engine oil (e.g., Kubota Super UDT or equivalent API CG-4/CH-4).
Hydraulic Fluid:
Kubota UDT (Universal Drive Train) fluid or equivalent approved by Kubota for HST and hydraulic systems.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors, mixed with distilled water (50/50 ratio).
Transmission Fluid:
Kubota UDT fluid (same as hydraulic fluid for HST).
Transmission Performance:
Potential for HST hesitation or loss of drive under heavy load if maintenance is neglected or fluid is contaminated.
Hydraulic Leaks:
Common in older tractors due to worn seals or hoses, especially with front-end loaders.
Electrical Gremlins:
Wiring harness degradation or connector corrosion can lead to intermittent electrical issues.
