60 hours is nothing. you really shouldnt be having problems with it right now. since you replaced the filters already, did you check to see how it runs without the air filter in ? I think you should try to take air line and blow it back into the tank from the first filter underneath.

Agreed. 60 hours isn't anything, which is precisely why something is likely gummed up somewhere. That isn't much use and a whole lot of idle time.
A question. Have you religiously used a diesel treatment?

I'd really like to know the name of your dealer that will not help you out by taking care of what ever it is with 60 hours on the clock and only a few months out of warranty.

I'd talk to the dealer or your regional rep. Silly to be pulling appart a 60 hour Kubota.

I add treatment everytime I add diesel.

I'm gonna pull the hose off the discharge of the pump today and see what the pressure is like. Maybe I'll drain the whole tank down, blow some air back through it too. I'll add new fuel and give the sea foam a try if none of the previous things have yielded any results.

I agree it is probably a fuel delivery problem but this may be totally off base but is it possible there is something going on with the governor?
