What’s wrong
Kubota has identified that in specific circumstances during drives on the road for long periods of time at high speed and without pushing the brake pedal pushing the brake pedal for the first time may not properly activate the braking system due to the presence of air in the brake pipe. Pushing the brake pedal again 2-3 times allows for proper braking.
The fix
Dealers will follow a specified procedure which involves (i) cleaning certain parts of the braking system; (ii) supplying new oil to the braking system; and (iii) bleeding the air from the brake system.
