Hydraulic System Overview

The hydraulic system of the Kubota M7060 tractor powers various operations such as lifting, lowering, and operating hydraulic attachments. If you encounter any issues with the hydraulic system, follow these steps to troubleshoot and resolve the problem.

Step 1: Check Fluid Level and Quality

Inspect the hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir. Ensure that it is at the recommended level and free from contaminants. If the fluid appears dirty or contaminated, drain and replace it with fresh hydraulic fluid according to Kubota's specifications.

Step 2: Inspect Hoses and Connections

Visually examine all hydraulic hoses and connections for any signs of leaks, damage, or loose fittings. Tighten loose connections and replace worn-out or damaged hoses as necessary. Leaks can significantly affect the hydraulic system's performance and should be addressed promptly.

Step 3: Check Hydraulic Pump

Inspect the hydraulic pump for any signs of damage or malfunction. Ensure that it is operating smoothly and delivering the required pressure. If the pump is faulty, consult the Kubota repair manual for guidance on repairing or replacing the pump.

Step 4: Bleed the Hydraulic System

If you have recently performed maintenance tasks like replacing hydraulic fluid or components, air may have entered the system. Air pockets can cause poor hydraulic performance. Bleed the hydraulic system following the Kubota M7060 tractor's manual instructions to remove the air and restore optimal functionality.

Step 5: Test the System

After addressing the above steps, test the hydraulic system's performance. Check if the lifting/lowering operations and hydraulic attachments are functioning correctly. If issues persist, consider contacting a certified Kubota technician for further diagnosis and repairs.
