Kubota B6200 Troubleshooting
The
Kubota B6200 compact utility tractor was manufactured from 1983 to 1992. This
model was designed in four versions: B6200E (2WD Gear), B6200D (4WD Gear),
B6200HST-E (2WD Hydro), and B6200HST-D (4WD Hydro). The Kubota B6200 is powered
by Kubota D850 4-cycle vertical 3-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with a
rated power of 15 hp (11.2 kW).
The Kubota B6200 is fitted with 2 transmission options: 6x2 mechanical
transmission with a manual gear shifting, and hydrostatic transmission
with a high-low shift levels. The maximum travel speed
(forward/reverse): 8 mph (12.8 km/h) and 5.7 mph (9.2 km/h). The open
center hydraulic system used a gear pump with rated fluid flow of 4.0
(15.1) gpm. The hydraulic system pressure is 113 bar (1640 psi). The 2WD
models are equipped with 4.50x10 (AG) front tyres and 7.00x16 (AG) rear
tyres.
The 6.00x12 (AG) or 20.5x8.00-10 (Turf) front tyres and 8.00x16 (AG) or
29x12.00-15 (Turf) rear tyres fit 4WD tractors. The wheel base is 57.9"
(1470 mm). The tractor is compatible with a 60" mid-mount 3-blade Kubota
RC60-72 mower deck with cutting height of 1.5-4.0 in (38-102 mm), 48"
rear-mount Kubota B3538 finish mower, 51" front-mount dual-stage Kubota
B2551 snowblower with hydraulic lift, and Kubota B1640 front-end loader
with lift capacity to full height of 510 lbs (231 kg).
