Kubota L2050 Troubleshooting
The
Kubota L2050 is a L-series compact utility tractor. This model was manufactured
from 1989 to 1991. The Kubota L2050 driveline system components: Kubota D1102
vertical three-cylinder indirect injection water-cooled diesel engine and gear
shift transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears.
A 68 cubic inches (1.1 L) engine output is 25 hp (18.6 kW), and max
torque is 64.2 Nm (47.6 lb-ft) at 1300 rpm. The maximum travel speed
(forward and reverse): 11.1 mph (17.8 kph) / 5.4 mph (8.7 kph). The open
center hydraulic system used a gear pump with a flow of 4.4 gpm (16.7
lpm) for 2WD models and 7.2 gpm (27.2 lpm) for 4WD models. The hydraulic
pressure is 155 bar (2250 psi).
The 2-wheel drive models are equipped with 6.00x14 front tires and
9.5x24 rear tires. The 7.00x16 front tires and 11.2x24 rear tires are
used for tractors with 4-wheel drive. The wheel base is 61.2" (1555 mm)
for 2WD (L2050F) models and 61.6" (1565 mm) for 4WD (L2050DT) models.
The Kubota L2050 tractor is compatible with a
Kubota BF400S front end
loader with a lift capacity to full height of 882 lbs (400 kg).
