Kubota RT280, RT280D Rotary Tiller Parts Manual (BKIDE5155)

The Kubota RT280, RT280D Rotary Tiller is a 3-point tiller you’d hang on the back of a compact tractor for seedbed prep and garden work. The Kubota RT280, RT280D parts manual is what parts counters and independent shops grab when they’re trying to see how the gearbox, tines, and driveline all fit together and what to order. Most folks use it to ID broken tines, seals, bearings, or shields before they tear the tiller apart so they only make one trip into town. If that’s what you’re trying to do, this is the right kind of book.

What this manual helps you do

• Identify the exact Kubota OEM part number for tines, tine shafts, side plates, PTO shields, and other hardware on the RT280 and RT280D.
• Locate where each seal, bearing, snap ring, and gasket sits in the gearbox and side drives using exploded view diagrams.
• Look up the correct quantity of bolts, nuts, and small parts so you don’t come up one fastener short halfway through the job.
• Cross-reference older RT280/RT280D part numbers against the superseded numbers shown in the parts lists before you order.
• Verify that the parts you’re about to buy online or from a wrecker actually match what Kubota shows for your RT280 or RT280D in book BKIDE5155.

Who this is for

This suits an independent ag mechanic, farm owner-operator, small contractor, or Kubota parts desk trying to keep an RT280/RT280D tiller going without guessing at parts. If you’re after torque specs, gearbox setup steps, or repair procedures, you need the Workshop/Service Manual instead, not this parts catalog.
