KUBOTA BX1870 ENGINE

The Kubota BX1870 is powered by a compact 0.7L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering efficient fuel consumption and reduced emissions. Its small size makes it highly maneuverable, ideal for residential landscaping and small farm tasks.

TRANSMISSION

The Kubota BX1870 features hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed adjustments for enhanced maneuverability, ideal for applications requiring precision, such as landscaping or garden maintenance. With infinite (2-range) forward and reverse gears, operators can easily switch between tasks without losing momentum, which can improve workflow efficiency. However, the relatively low oil capacity of 12.4 quarts may necessitate more frequent maintenance checks, particularly in demanding conditions, to prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance.

MECHANICAL

The Kubota BX1870 features a 4x4 MFWD system, delivering enhanced traction and stability in diverse terrains, making it suitable for both residential and agricultural applications. Its hydrostatic power steering and wet disc brakes provide superior handling and safety, though the absence of a full cab may limit operator comfort in adverse weather. Ideal for small acreage tasks, the tractor’s differential lock enhances performance in slippery conditions, yet operators should consider potential visibility issues with the two-post ROPS when operating in tighter spaces.
