idle rpm

[leedselectric]

Hello and thank you for the info re ballast weight and fel removal. I wil contact dealer for a fel operatong manual.
Another question concerning idle rpm.
Is there a proper idle rpm and duration time at that rpm ?
I was told by a buddy of mine that a low idle rpm can damage the motor.

Well, diesels like to be "hot" so a fast idle is better than a cool/slow idle. Your Kubota will be equipped with an electronic idle kick down. After start-up, it should idle up a little higher than normal and then drop as the normal engine operating temperature is reached.

You can high idle a Kubota engine for a week, or until it runs out of diesel and it won't hurt it. Idle away!
