What You Should Know about Investing in a Kubota Tractor

Buying a tractor is a major investment, both in terms of time and money.  With the price of a new tractor in Australia starting at more than $30,000, it is essential that you know exactly what you want.

One of the leading manufacturers of tractors and engines and suppliers to Australia, Kubota has been around since 1890 and has established a good reputation for quality and excellent service. Founded and based in Japan, the company has branch offices and dealerships in more than 130 countries worldwide. It is a well respected company and, like all Japanese companies, has a first-class reputation for reliability and long term commitment to all customers.

Kubota has tractors in the BX, B, L and M series. Each series differs in price, body type and horsepower. This means that they are suitable for many and varied jobs – garden maintenance, commercial land maintenance and farming.

The B-series tractors range from the smaller B2320HD, the B26B, and the B2920HD to theB3300SUHD. All B-Series models feature the indirect injected 3- or 4-cylinder E-TVCS diesel engine which are smooth running, high-torque and have increased power. This series ranges from 17 to 25 PTO horsepower. Plus, all the B-Series tractors feature a flat deck, which is longer and wider than the previous models.



The BX series, however, combines the strength and versatility of a compact utility tractor with the agile handling of 4WD and the lighter, easier feel of a garden tractor. It also has a redesigned easy open hood and wrap-around front-end which give it a sleek, modern look and better illuminates the operator’s view by encasing the headlights. It also has a full flat open deck which provides much-needed ample legroom and a rubber-mounted engine to reduce vibration and noise.

On the other hand, the L series, from  the premium Grand L60’s to the Standard L’s, is the ultimate all-rounder, ideal for everything from Australian estate maintenance to commercial landscaping and small farming. They have unmatched reliability and performance. From 62hp - 95hp and with a 3-year/3000-hour warranty it gives you the total peace of mind you need from such a piece of machinery.

The higher horsepower M-Series tractors feature greater power, torque and an electronic common rail fuel system for more power, less noise and reduced emissions. At the same time, the sleek new design elements add aesthetics and functionality. The new rounded hood and grill design improves the operator’s range of vision while the quieter cab keeps interior sound levels down. The exhaust pipe exits the hood at the bottom to increase visibility of the front right wheel and is also tethered to the cab post to limit vibrations and increase durability.

Other standard design elements include wide-front tread which makes straddling wide windrows in baler applications easier. Also, float links have been added to the three-point hitch, providing lateral floatation for the use of wide implements.

Combine these features with the standard radial tires on each M-Series model, and you have excellent traction and a quiet ride.
