When should you start checking for engine blow by on a D1005/ BX 2660?

in about 10 years.

When and If it starts to have blow-by you'll know it, then it's time to either rebuild or replace.

Is it having any issues now?

Well, no not to my knowladge, but I dont exactly know what the symptoms are when it becomes a problem, the thing that scares me is the engine specifications at the Kubota Engines Website has my engine lifespan of only 3,000 hours, and I'm nearly almost at 1,200 already so thats why I'm wondering?

I wouldn't worry about the 3000 hour mark on your motor and it's toast. I have similar sized kubota motors with 10,000 plus hours on them at work. Haven't had any major engine issue. Just the occasional fuel selonoid, fan belt, or injector.

I would say there "estimate" of engine life span is severely under rated, I guess that saves them some abuse down the line.

Also of the 1200 hour that you've clocked, how much was actual use, and not just idling in between work.
