Kubota T1880, T2080, T2380 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Weak or lost hydrostatic drive
A mower that creeps or will not move under load usually has a low charge pump, worn HST internals or the wrong fluid level. The Hydrostatic Transaxle section covers the structure and the hydraulic schematic with the charge pump.
Manual Section: Hydrostatic Transaxle p. 86Mower deck vibration or scalping
Excess vibration or an uneven cut points to bent blades, a worn spindle or a slack drive belt. The Mower section covers the power transmission to the deck, the blade drive and the mower blades.
Manual Section: Mower p. 176PTO will not engage or slips
A deck that will not spin up or drops out under grass load usually has a stretched belt or a worn tension arm. The PTO System section documents the structure, the PTO and HST tension arms and the servicing procedure.
Manual Section: PTO System p. 144Reverse cutting cutout acting up
Nuisance shutdowns or a mower that will not cut in reverse point to the KRA reverse awareness circuit. The Electrical System section covers the wiring diagram and the KRA system electrical circuit and its troubleshooting.
Manual Section: Electrical System p. 155Loose or wandering steering
Play at the wheel or a mower that pulls to one side usually means worn steering gears or linkage. The Steering section covers the mechanism, structure and the checking and servicing steps.
Manual Section: Steering p. 117Brakes weak or out of adjustment
A mower that will not hold on a slope or stops unevenly needs the brake checked and adjusted. The Brakes section gives the troubleshooting, tightening torques and the checking and adjusting procedure.
