KUBOTA B72 ENGINE

The Kubota B72, equipped with a 0.9L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers efficient performance suitable for small to medium agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 3.4 gallons (12.9 L), it provides limited run time compared to larger models, which may necessitate more frequent refueling during extended operations. Its compact size is an advantage for maneuverability in tight spaces, although it may face challenges under heavy load conditions.

TRANSMISSION

The Kubota B72 tractor features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gear system, allowing for enhanced maneuverability in various field conditions. The wider range of forward gears provides improved speed control for different tasks, from tilling to transport, while the 2 reverse speeds facilitate easier navigation in tight spaces. However, operators should be aware of potential learning curves in mastering shifts for optimal performance and efficiency.

Gears

6 forward and 2 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Kubota B72 features a 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front-Wheel Drive) system, enhancing traction and stability across varied terrains, making it ideal for both agricultural and landscaping tasks. Its 6-speed transmission offers versatility in speed and torque management, suitable for a range of applications from hauling to plowing. However, the two-post folding ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) limits operator protection in rollover situations, necessitating careful operation on uneven ground.
