Why is my Kubota B1820 engine difficult to start?
- W
  wilsonchristopherAug 19, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Kubota Tractor engine might be hard to start. It could be due to no fuel flow, so check the fuel tank and fuel filter, replacing the filter if needed. Air or water in the fuel system could also be the cause; ensure the fuel line coupler bolt and nut are tight. In cold weather, the oil viscosity may increase, slowing the engine revolution, so consider using oils of different viscosities or an engine block heater. A weak battery can also prevent the engine from turning over quickly enough; clean the battery cables and terminals, charge the battery, and in cold weather, remove the battery, charge it, store it indoors, and install it only when the tractor will be used.

  Latasha HernandezAug 21, 2025
  To prevent your Kubota Tractor engine from overheating, consider these points. Avoid overloading the engine by shifting to a lower gear or reducing the load. Maintain the correct coolant level and inspect the radiator and hoses for leaks. Ensure the fan belt is properly adjusted or replaced if defective. Keep the radiator core and grille screens free from debris. Also, flush the cooling system to prevent corrosion.

  Several factors can cause your Kubota Tractor's engine to overheat. Insufficient engine oil or coolant, a broken or elongated fan belt, or a radiator clogged with dust are common causes; replenish fluids, replace the belt, or clean the radiator as needed. Corrosion inside the radiator or coolant flow route can also lead to overheating, requiring cleaning or replacement. A defective radiator cap, running the engine with an overload, a defective head gasket, incorrect injection timing, or using unsuitable fuel could also be the culprit. Reduce the load, replace the cap or head gasket, adjust the injection timing, or use the specified fuel to resolve these issues.

What to do if my Kubota B1820 Tractor emits black or dark gray exhaust gas?
- A
  Anna WigginsAug 26, 2025
  If your Kubota Tractor is emitting black or dark gray exhaust gas, it could be due to several reasons. You might be overloading the tractor, so try reducing the load. Using low-grade fuel, a clogged fuel filter, or a clogged air cleaner can also cause this issue; switch to the specified fuel and clean or replace the filters. Another potential cause is deficient nozzle injection, in which case you should repair or replace the nozzle.

What to do if Kubota B1820 exhaust fumes are colored?
- D
  Dawn ParkerAug 28, 2025
  Colored exhaust fumes from your Kubota Tractor indicate potential issues. Black fumes suggest poor fuel quality, too much oil, or a clogged air cleaner; in this case, change the fuel and fuel filter, check the oil level, and clean or replace the air filter. Blue-white fumes may mean fuel is dumped inside the exhaust muffler, there's an injection nozzle problem, or the fuel quality is poor; try heating the muffler by applying a load to the engine, check the injection nozzle, and change the fuel and fuel filter.

Why does my Kubota Tractor have deficient output?
- C
  Cathy TorresSep 3, 2025
  A deficient output in your Kubota Tractor may be caused by several factors. Incorrect injection timing, seizing engine parts, a malfunctioning injection pump, or deficient nozzle injection can all contribute to this problem; adjust the timing, or repair or replace the affected components. A compression leak could also be the cause; check the compression pressure and repair if necessary.

What causes white or blue exhaust gas from my Kubota B1820?
- A
  allen53Sep 5, 2025
  White or blue exhaust gas from your Kubota Tractor can be caused by excessive engine oil; reduce it to the specified level. Worn or stuck piston rings and cylinders, or incorrect injection timing may also be the reason; repair or replace the components, or adjust the timing.

Why is the oil pressure low in my Kubota Tractor?
- M
  Michael WardSep 8, 2025
  Low oil pressure in your Kubota Tractor can arise from several issues. Insufficient engine oil is a common cause; replenish it. A clogged oil strainer, a relief valve stuck with dirt, a weakened or broken relief valve spring, excessive oil clearance in crankshaft or crankpin bearings, excessive oil clearance of rocker arm, a clogged oil passage, using a different type of oil, or a defective oil pump can also be responsible. Clean or replace the affected parts, use the specified oil type, or replace the oil pump as needed.
