  Your Kubota Lawn Mower engine might be hard to start due to several reasons. It could be that the fuel tank or fuel filter is clogged with dirt, or there's air or water in the fuel system. In winter, increased oil viscosity can slow down the engine. Another possibility is a discharged battery, which may need recharging or replacement. Check the fuel system and use oil suitable for winter conditions.
