that engine will run off oil in hot weather. engine's with a mechanic fuel pump are not hard to please. the trans fluid cleans the injectors. its a light hydraulic oil, its the additives that help. i figured you had more that a 4 gal tank. a quart or so would be good. what model kabota do you have? my dad bought an L4400 back in 2005. been a real good tractor. not as tough as our old one was. 1968 Massey Ferguson 135 . you could run over a forest with that thing, nothing hurt it. we have a tow truck company. he adds the trans fluid to his older trucks that do not have emissions. we rebuilt an engine for him last year, over 1,000,000 miles with the original injectors.
My first full time job that I got after bigh school (1965) was in a gas station. They were all full service back then. The mechanic there swore by pouring a quart of transmission fluid down the carb. Smoked like hell, but seemed to help.
