Kubota M4700 Troubleshooting
The
Kubota M4700 utility tractor was manufactured between 1995 and 1997. The Kubota
M4700 tractor is equipped with a 167.6 cu.in (2.7 L) Kubota F2803 4-stroke
5-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. The engine has a cylinder bore of 3.43"
(87 mm), piston stroke of 3.64" (92 mm), and rated power of 51 hp (38 kW). The
partially synchronized transmission consists of a single dry clutch and gearbox
with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears.
The maximum forward speed - 18 mph (29 kph), maximum reverse speed - 6.3
mph (10.1 kph). The open center hydraulic system has a gear pump with a
rated capacity of 9.3 gal/min (35 l/min). The two-wheel drive models are
equipped with 6.50x16 front tyres and 14.9x28 rear tyres. The 9.50x22
front tyres and 14.9x28 rear tyres fit four-wheel drive tractors. The
Kubota M4700 tractor can be equipped with the following attachments:
Kubota LA1001 front-end loader
with a lift capacity to full height of 2205 lbs (1000 kg), or
Kubota LA1002 front-end loader
with a lift capacity to full height of 2579 lbs (1169 kg).
