Kubota diesel engines are some of the most durable and dependable diesel engines on the market. It’s why Eagle Power Turf & Tractor proudly sells Kubota equipment, including the number 1 best-selling diesel utility vehicle in North America: the RTV-X Series.
Kubota warranties its industrial engines for 2 years or 2,000 hours, whichever occurs first; major engine components are warrantied for 3 years or 3000 hours. Again, whichever occurs first. However, with proper maintenance, your Kubota diesel engine could last up to 10,000 hours.
Why are Kubota diesel engines so reliable and how can you keep yours in great condition? Read on.
Are Kubota Diesel Engines Good?
A well-maintained Kubota diesel engine is very reliable. A diesel engine used for agricultural work, however, may not last as long as one used for general field maintenance or lighter landscaping work. That’s just common sense. The less stress placed on an engine, the less it “ages.”
Soot and vibrations are some concerns regularly found with diesel engines in general. Keep your machine’s air filter clean to avoid soot and change the oil regularly. Vibrations are unavoidable but if you are experiencing noticeably strong vibration, it could be a sign of something out of balance or the engine mounts may need to be more firmly secured.
We service the products we sell, and our service technicians are Kubota-service-certified. From minor tune-ups to major overhauls, our mechanics can diagnose any issues and get your Kubota engine up and running quickly!
How Do You Prime A Kubota Diesel Engine?
The old ways of “priming the engine” and cracking injectors to get a tractor engine going again can be harmful to today’s newer models. There’s a lot of pressure in the fuel injection lines and it could be dangerous. There is no need to prime a Kubota diesel engine. If your machine has run out of fuel, just fill it up again and turn over the key. Any air should work its way through, and you’ll be up and running again. If you’re experiencing ongoing issues, we recommend you contact one of our Kubota-service-certified technicians.
Is It Cheaper To Rebuild Or Replace A Kubota Diesel Engine?
Rebuilding your engine can save you hundreds compared to the cost of an engine replacement. It depends, however, on the amount of labor involved. Finding someone who can change out your engine for a used one might be a less expensive option.
We strongly recommend that you contact a nearby, authorized Kubota dealer for all maintenance, service, and replacement parts for your Kubota equipment. Our experienced technicians can offer helpful insight regarding a Kubota diesel engine rebuild or replacement.
