Kubota B2301, B2601 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Engine cranks slowly, cuts out before firing, or won't start at all on the B2301 tractor p. 28
Walk the safety interlock sequence on page 28 before cranking: seat occupied, transmission in neutral, PTO disengaged. Confirm fuel sits above empty; the tank holds 23 L (6.1 U.S. gals.). Inspect the battery terminals for corrosion and clean them if needed. With every interlock satisfied, turn to the troubleshooting chart on page 90.
Manual Section: Operating the EngineLoader or 3-point hitch slow, sluggish response, or won't lift under normal operating load p. 63
Check hydraulic fluid level at the transmission case sight glass before operating. The case holds 15 L (4.0 U.S. gals.); top off if it sits below the MIN mark. Confirm the hydraulic filter is within its 400 Hr replacement interval (maintenance schedule, page 63). Inspect visible hose connections for active leaks.
Manual Section: MaintenanceHST pedal stiff or heavy, especially in reverse, forward movement sluggish in cold weather p. 34
Warm up the transmission oil before loading the HST pedal, using the cold-weather warm-up procedure on page 14. Give it enough low-RPM idle time before working the pedal in cold conditions. Verify transmission fluid is at the correct level; case capacity is 15 L (4.0 U.S. gals.). HST driving technique is on page 34.
Manual Section: Operating the TractorEngine loses power under load, bogs down or produces black exhaust in dusty field conditions p. 76
Pull and inspect the primary air cleaner element per the procedure on page 76. Tap loose dust out carefully; if you use compressed air, keep it under 205 kPa (30 psi) so the element isn't damaged. Replace both primary and secondary elements every year per page 67, or sooner in heavy dust or dirty conditions.
Manual Section: Periodic ServiceBrake pedals feel uneven, soft, or require more travel than usual before slowing tractor p. 78
Measure brake pedal free travel on both sides by pressing each pedal slowly to where resistance begins. Correct free travel is 30 to 40 mm (page 78). If either pedal falls outside that range or the two feel mismatched, have the brakes inspected before continuing. Safe braking procedures are on page 9.
Manual Section: Periodic ServiceFrequently Asked Questions
What are the torque specs for the Kubota B2301/B2601 wheel lugs?
Front wheel bolts take 79-92 N-m (58.3-67.9 ft-lbs); rear wheel bolts take 145-150 N-m (107.0-110.6 ft-lbs). Recheck the torque after driving the tractor 200 m (200 yards), then again at each regular service interval.
What does the Kubota B2301/B2601 alarm or flashing light mean?
Each Easy Checker warning lamp flags a specific problem. One lamp means engine oil pressure has dropped below the prescribed level; another means the alternator isn't charging the battery. If either comes on while running, stop the engine immediately and find the cause.
What are the replacement specifications for air filter element?
Replace the primary air cleaner element once a year or after every sixth cleaning, whichever comes first. The secondary element also gets replaced yearly. Fit only a genuine KUBOTA filter to avoid engine damage.
What are the replacement specifications for hydraulic filter?
Replace the hydraulic oil filter after the first 50 hours of operation, then every 400 hours after that. Use only a genuine KUBOTA filter to protect the hydraulic system.
