- 2009 Kubota BX25
Hi, folks, my very first problem with my 2009 Kubota BX25. The tank was down to about 1/4 or so and I filled it up with some fresh diesel I just bought on May 19. Started it up and it warmed up fine, but then as I was pulling out of the driveway at about 3,000 RPM, it seemed like it started missing, but then stalled right out on me. Started up again and idled fine, and then drove it for maybe 100 yds or so until it started intermittently sputtering again (kind of like surging). By the time I got 500 yards or so, it was real bad, until I couldn't drive it anymore. Again, it would start up and idle fine, and even rev up fine, but as soon as I pushed to (HST) go pedal it would stall out unless I immediately let my foot off.
I was afraid I had maybe put gasoline in by mistake, but the can did not smell like gasoline and in fact had very little smell at all. (I tried lighting a little bit that I spilled on to the gravel just to make sure, and it would not even light.)
Maybe the new diesel was bad, or....? I have had no problems like this before, and I used the tractor last weekend when it ran fine.
Any ideas would be much appreciated, guys! (I can't even drive it up onto the trailer to take to the dealer.)
