Kubota B1700
I am new to my friends farm but I am a repair man by trade / electronics / mechanics.
Farm equipment is new to me but should be basic for the most part, but I am a firm believer in RTFM! Read the #@$% Manual!
That's why I am here. For some coaching or direction.
The tractor is starting to slip going uphill.
Does a Kubota with a hydrostatic clutch (4w dr.) have a clutch adjustment? Does the clutch material need replacing?

My guess without seeing it yet is (replacement). I get back to the farm Tuesday, I'm just doing some research. Any advice would be appreciated.

I think the B1700 4WD Hydrostatic Transmission has a conventional dry clutch. There is an adjustment for pedal/linkage travel to dis-engage but engagement depends on the clutch disc and pressure plate. If it's slipping at least the disc probably requires replacement. Messick's Equipment has good online parts diagrams and replacement parts.
