Compact Tractors

Mini tractors designed to operate in small spaces

Kubota compact tractors are designed for work in small spaces. They are powerful and efficient. These machines range from 17.5 to 62 horsepower. Mini tractors from this company are classified into the B series and the L series.

Diesel tractors in the B series are designed with powerful Kubota engines. These are environmentally-friendly. The vehicles feature 3 range HST transmission. Although HST transmission reduces the efficiency of these vehicles, it makes them more manoeuvrable. This is a major advantage, especially since these tractors are meant to be used in small spaces.

These compact tractors also have a mid-mount design, and this is highly preferred by operators. These designs help to optimize space. Mid-mount mowers are also ideal for jobs such as trimming around a tree, especially if they also have a zero-turn feature. Front mount mowers can’t comfortably complete these tasks since the turning axis is too far behind the deck. That makes it very hard to make circles. Kubota compact mowers also have faster ground speed since their front wheels carry a lot of weight.

The machines also feature Category I three-point hitches or linkages. These are used to attach ploughs and other implements to the tractors, and they are the only statically determinate way of joining two items. The key advantage of the three-point hitch is the fact that it converts the drag of the equipment to a downward force on the back of the tractor. That way, traction will be maximized when more energy is needed to pull the tractor.

Always easier to use

It is worth noting that Kubota compact tractors were developed for first time owners of tractors. That means they are very easy to operate, even for people who have never used such heavy machinery. Some features that ease the operation of the vehicle include the PTO system, HST and the great control system.
PTO or Power Take-Off is a system which transfers the engine’s mechanical power to another equipment, and that helps to run additional implements that don’t have their own sources of power. For example, if you intend to use a jack hammer with your compact tractor, you will be able to run it using the vehicle’s PTO system.

The L series tractors are also very well made. They can be used for commercial landscaping, estate maintenance chores, or even small farming. There are four models available in this series, and they are designed with the special synchronized shuttle transmission. This shuttle transmission is meant to equalize the gear rotations so that the gear changes are timed perfectly. Models in the L series have smooth and rounded contours from the front to the rear, and this construction improves visibility so that you can complete your tasks faster. These compact tractors are also equipped with front loaders and back hoes that simplify tough jobs.
