Kubota GR2020G, GR2120, GR2120AU Common Problems This Manual Covers
Engine stalls or rolls back on slopes
Stalling on a hill can create a dangerous rollback or loss of control. The safe operation section sets slope limits and covers mowing up and down rather than across a grade.
Manual Section: Safe Operation p. 8Machine will not start
A no-start usually traces to the safety interlock, a switch, or wiring. The troubleshooting section walks through the checks for starting and safety-system faults.
Manual Section: Troubleshooting p. 97Overheating from grass buildup on the screen
Grass packed on the panel screen and cooling fins restricts airflow and leads to overheating. The periodic service section covers checking and cleaning the radiator and screen.
Manual Section: Periodic Service p. 58Headlight cable melts near the muffler
A mis-routed headlight cable can contact the muffler and melt or short. The periodic service section covers the headlight and its 24W bulb replacement.
Manual Section: Periodic Service p. 58Uneven cut from an out-of-level deck
A deck that is not level side to side or front to back leaves an uneven cut. The mower mounting section covers parallel linkage and side-to-side deck adjustment.
Manual Section: Mower Mounting p. 24Low tire pressure hurts stability and cut
Underinflated tires reduce stability and can tilt the deck. The manual gives turf tire pressures of 160 kPa front and 150 kPa rear and the wheel torque values.
Manual Section: Tire and Wheels p. 48Frequently Asked Questions
