MECHANICAL
The Kubota L1-20 tractor features a robust 4x4 MFWD system, providing enhanced traction in varying field conditions, which is advantageous for tasks requiring stability, such as plowing or tilling. The wet disc brake system offers superior stopping power and reduced maintenance compared to traditional drum brakes. However, the open operator station may expose the operator to environmental elements, potentially limiting usability in adverse weather conditions.

KUBOTA L1-20 TIRES
The Kubota L1-20 tractor offers a choice between 2WD and 4WD configurations, with varying tire dimensions that impact traction and stability. The 2WD version with standard ag tires is suitable for flat terrain and lighter tasks, while the 4WD option enhances off-road capability, especially in uneven or slippery conditions. A key consideration is the trade-off between fuel efficiency in 2WD and superior grip and control offered by the 4WD, which may increase operational costs.
