Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The turbocharged 54.7 HP Kubota diesel delivers strong, high-torque power for heavy field work, big implements, and loader tasks
- ✓46.5 PTO HP runs large rotary cutters, tillers, balers, and post-hole diggers with ease
- ✓The stout 3,924 lb frame and Category I/II hitch make it a genuine small-farm workhorse
- ✓Available in gear or HST and ROPS or cab, so you can spec it exactly for your work and climate
- ✓Kubota's in-house diesel, huge dealer network, and strong resale value are all major strengths
- ✓The LA1065 loader lifts over 2,200 lbs and reaches over 9 feet, excellent for material handling
- ✓It's a proven, best-selling platform with a massive owner base and deep support knowledge
- ✓Rugged, serviceable design that handles daily farm abuse and holds up over thousands of hours
Cons
- ✗It's a big-ticket purchase - loaded with a loader and options it approaches or tops $35K
- ✗The gear transmission requires clutching for direction changes, less convenient than HST for loader work
- ✗The 9.5 GPM hydraulic flow is modest for the tractor's size, so loader cycles feel slow to some owners
- ✗It has the DPF emissions system with periodic regen cycles
- ✗Kubota premium pricing means a comparable Mahindra or Kioti utility costs meaningfully less
- ✗At nearly 4,000 lbs plus loader it needs a serious truck and trailer to transport
- ✗No mid-PTO, so it's a field and loader tractor, not a finish-mowing machine
- ✗The base ROPS model is fairly spartan, and adding a cab drives the price up substantially
