I'll suggest to check for good fuel flow from tank to inj pump. Is fuel tank vent open? Many yrs ago I had a similar fuel problem on a Kubota M4900 tractor that local dealer service manager advised me to check for blockage in water separator housing. Upon closer inspection I located a tiny...

I suggest to perform good hydraulic diagnostic procedures. My guess is your tractor has a faulty hydraulic relief valve or possibly 3pt hitch is raised too high due to maladjusted 3pt feedback rod. Over my many yrs since 1965 of being associated with repairing tractors I've read/heard of many...

My having owned both synchronized & hyd reverser type Kubota tractors I'll recommend hydraulic shuttle over synchronized shuttle. Hydraulic shuttle uses hyd reverser clutch instead of a dry traction clutch to control tractor fwd/rev motion. The Sync reverser om ,y Kubota M4900 failed @ 1500 hrs...

That type grease sounds similar to Corn head grease which is what I use in my cutter gearboxes.

Check to be sure trans case breather hole isn't clogged. I've read where trans oil can be drained into a container then very carefully heated to get moisture in oil to evaporate, then reinstall oil. I realize draining oil in sub freezing temp isn't a very good option!!:(

Clean & check tightness of all four(4) battery cable connections.

Have you checked for good fuel flow from fuel tank to inj pump??????? Is fuel tank venting? I'll advise as a test to operate engine with shop towel covering fuel tank neck.

I wish you luck on getting a reply from ditchdigger2 as that member hasn't been on this site for over 7 yrs. You might be better served to open your own thread. Another good example IMHO why threads older than a yr or 2 should be open to being viewed but blocked to new replies

I've read in the past that if water is present in hyd oil to place a few drops of suspected hyd oil on a hot frying pan & if water is present in hyd oil it will make a crackling sound.

Which type shuttle(hyd or syncro)? If hyd type I suggest to check shuttle pressure.

Many years ago I had a M4900 that acted similar to your B2920. After changing fuel filter & blowing out fuel lines several times & problem still existed I contacted local Kubota dealer service manager. He advised me to check to determine if a tiny screen in fuel control valve in water separator...

If your tractor has a rate of drop screw for 3pt turn R-O-D screw clockwise some to decrease speed that 3pt hitch & PHD lower. Either lower engine/pto rpm's a few rpm's so things aren't happening as quickly or get more proficient at moving pto lever to off position or more proficient at moving...

I fail to see where stevewhitts stated his Countryline post hole digger was hydraulically powered not pto driven! Idle speed for that engine that I located stated 900-1000 not 1200 rpms. See photo below I have no personal experience with that model 23 hp tractor. I own a Zero-turn lawnmower...

I'm not disagreeing that smaller engine requires more rpm to operate a post hole digger than a higher CID?Liter engine. 23 hp engine requiring 1600 engine rpm 's to dig a hole with a pto driven post hole digger even in clay soil sounds high to me. Long story/short story the lower the...

Steve Sounds as if you need to turn rate of drop screw in a some so 3pt is slower to lower. Also if not already doing so lower engine rpm's to about 1200 rpms & raise/lower auger more frequently while attempting to dig a hole.
