Waiting For A Breakdown To Occur Before Taking Action<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unsurprisingly, this is the number one mistake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many owners put off maintenance as long as the machine is still running. However, a worn belt, a clogged filter, or contaminated fluid can be replaced before they lead to a much more serious breakdown. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Preventive maintenance is almost always less expensive than an emergency repair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Ignoring An Unusual Noise Or Behavior<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your Kubota is talking to you:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An unusual noise.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A vibration.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A loss of power.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A leak.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All of these signs indicate that it&#8217;s time to have your equipment inspected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The sooner we take action, the simpler the repairs will be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like Ren\u00e9 puts it:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00ab As soon as you notice something unusual, it&#8217;s best to see a doctor. \u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Using Fuel That Is Too Old<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is a much more common problem than you might think!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With modern fuels, gasoline degrades more quickly than it used to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After several months of storage, it can prevent the engine from starting properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the spring, it is therefore recommended to use fresh fuel and add a stabilizer when the machine is stored for an extended period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Allowing Contaminants To Enter The Tank<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That&#8217;s probably the most surprising anecdote from this interview.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every year, the service team finds the following in the tanks:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">fallen leaves;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">pine needles;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">insects;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and even\u2026 ladybugs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This debris eventually clogs the fuel system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Result: The machine won&#8217;t start.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To fix the problem, it is sometimes necessary to completely remove the tank, clean it, and then reinstall it. This process can easily take several hours. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, just a few seconds of attention while filling it up is enough to prevent this from happening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5837 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/maxgagne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/07\/L3970-Premium-Cab-Cabine-L70-Series-Serie-Compact-Tractor-Tracteur-Compacts-Summer-Ete-Farm-Ferme-Detail-Detail-08-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maxgagne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/07\/L3970-Premium-Cab-Cabine-L70-Series-Serie-Compact-Tractor-Tracteur-Compacts-Summer-Ete-Farm-Ferme-Detail-Detail-08-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maxgagne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/07\/L3970-Premium-Cab-Cabine-L70-Series-Serie-Compact-Tractor-Tracteur-Compacts-Summer-Ete-Farm-Ferme-Detail-Detail-08-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/maxgagne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/07\/L3970-Premium-Cab-Cabine-L70-Series-Serie-Compact-Tractor-Tracteur-Compacts-Summer-Ete-Farm-Ferme-Detail-Detail-08-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maxgagne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/07\/L3970-Premium-Cab-Cabine-L70-Series-Serie-Compact-Tractor-Tracteur-Compacts-Summer-Ete-Farm-Ferme-Detail-Detail-08-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/maxgagne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/07\/L3970-Premium-Cab-Cabine-L70-Series-Serie-Compact-Tractor-Tracteur-Compacts-Summer-Ete-Farm-Ferme-Detail-Detail-08-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Mixing Gasoline And Diesel<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It happens more often than you&#8217;d think; a faulty can, a moment of distraction, and the wrong fuel ends up in the tank.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The engine may then run very poorly, lose power, or fail to restart at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The solution is often to completely drain the fuel system before restarting the engine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One simple step can help prevent this mistake: always use a yellow container for diesel and a red container for gasoline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is exactly the kind of situation that shows how a small savings made at the time of purchase can quickly end up costing much more in diagnostics, downtime, and labor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Buying Lower-Quality Filters<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The price is sometimes tempting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But <a href=\"https:\/\/maxgagne.com\/en\/blog\/not-all-oil-filters-perform-equally-well\/\">not all filters are created equal.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Ren\u00e9, the technicians have already compared Kubota filters and compatible filters by taking them apart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The difference in design is very real.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In some cases, non-compliant hydraulic filters have even caused transmission malfunctions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The savings made at the time of purchase can therefore quickly be wiped out by the cost of repairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Neglecting The Hydraulic Fluid<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Engine oil is important, but <a href=\"https:\/\/maxgagne.com\/en\/blog\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-kubota-hydraulic-oil\/\">hydraulic oil<\/a> is just as important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It ensures the smooth operation of many of your equipment&#8217;s systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kubota recommends using an oil specially formulated for its hydraulic systems to ensure optimal protection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Using an unsuitable product can accelerate component wear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Skipping Daily Inspections<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It only takes a few minutes before each use to check:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the oil level;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">leaks;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tires or tracks;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the overall condition of the machine;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the hour meter.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These simple checks often help detect a problem before it becomes serious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>9. Neglecting Seasonal Preparation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each change of season brings its own challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the spring, you should check the fluids and use fresh fuel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the fall, you need to prepare for the switch to winter diesel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In winter, a fuel stabilizer and a smart battery charger can help prevent several starting problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Ren\u00e9, switching from summer to winter fuel is one of the most common mistakes made by owners of diesel-powered equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>10. Thinking Of Maintenance As An Expense<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That&#8217;s probably the biggest misconception.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Preventive maintenance is not an expense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It&#8217;s insurance against unexpected downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For a landscaping contractor, a farmer, or a construction company, a machine that is out of service can quickly lead to significant delays, additional costs, and a loss of revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maintenance allows you to plan for repairs rather than be caught off guard by them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>The Best Repair Is The One You Avoid<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At Kubota Montreal and Kubota Max Gagn\u00e9, we see equipment every day that could last even longer with a few good habits:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Regular maintenance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Genuine parts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Simple inspections.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Above all, never wait until a minor problem turns into a major repair.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Ren\u00e9 points out, good service isn&#8217;t just about repairing a machine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Above all, it involves supporting property owners so they can work with confidence, season after season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>FAQ<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>What is the main cause of repairs on a Kubota?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A lack of preventive maintenance is the most common cause identified by our technicians.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Can old fuel prevent a Kubota from starting?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes. Gasoline that has gone stale loses its properties and can cause starting problems or engine malfunction. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Why use genuine Kubota filters?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Genuine filters are designed to Kubota&#8217;s specifications and provide filtration tailored to the brand&#8217;s hydraulic systems and engines.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How often should you inspect your equipment?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A visual inspection and a check of fluid levels are recommended before each use.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How can you avoid costly repairs?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Follow the maintenance schedule, use genuine parts, check your machine regularly, and contact a technician immediately if you notice any unusual behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Follow Us And Stay Connected!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Facebook : https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KubotaMaxGagne\/<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Instagram : https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kubotamaxgagne\/<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Kubota Max Gagn\u00e9<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>For several decades now,<b> Kubota Max Gagn\u00e9<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> supports farmers, business owners, municipalities, and homeowners with Kubota equipment renowned for its quality.
