Kubota GR1600-II, GR2100-II Common Problems This Manual Covers
Mower deck engages and disengages intermittently
The deck cutting in and out while mowing is a common complaint on these machines. The operating the mower section covers PTO engagement and getting the most out of the deck.
Manual Section: Operating the Mower p. 54Tips or slides on slopes and uneven ground
Riding mowers can tip or slide on steep or wet ground, especially when mowing across a slope or turning sharply. The safe operation section sets slope and terrain limits.
Manual Section: Safe Operation p. 18Engine or machine will not run right
Starting failures and running problems need a systematic check. The troubleshooting section carries separate engine, machine, mower, and grass catcher charts.
Manual Section: Troubleshooting p. 102Grass catcher net worn or torn
The catcher net material wears and deteriorates with use and lets clippings escape. The operating the grass catcher section covers checking and replacing the net material.
Manual Section: Operating the Grass Catcher p. 58Blade bolts loosen or blades crack
Vibration loosens blade hardware and blades crack with age and impact. The periodic service section gives the blade bolt torque and the condition for replacing a cracked blade.
Manual Section: Periodic Service p. 70Fan drive belt loose
A loose fan drive belt reduces cooling and can cause abnormal noise. The maintenance section covers belt checks, with a deflection target of about 10 mm under finger pressure.
