ENGINE DETAIL

The Kubota L1-22 is powered by a robust D1462 3-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 1.5L, providing a maximum output of 21.7hp at 2500 RPM, which is suitable for light agricultural tasks. Its compact design and liquid-cooling system enhance thermal efficiency, potentially extending the engine's lifespan under consistent load. However, while the electric starter and 12V system contribute to reliability, the relatively low horsepower may limit its utility for more demanding applications or heavy-duty equipment attachment scenarios.

KUBOTA L1-22 ENGINE

The Kubota L1-22 features a 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of power and fuel efficiency suitable for small to medium agricultural tasks. Its 7.7-gallon (29.1L) fuel tank supports extended operational hours without frequent refueling, making it advantageous for tasks that require sustained power. However, it's best suited for lighter load applications due to its relatively smaller engine displacement and tank size compared to larger tractors.

TRANSMISSION

The Kubota L1-22 features a shuttle transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears, providing versatility in various agricultural tasks. The dry disc clutch ensures reliable engagement and disengagement, minimizing slippage for efficient power transfer. This setup is ideal for operations requiring frequent directional changes, such as loading and transport, but it may present challenges in heavy-duty tasks due to its limited torque handling compared to more robust clutch systems.

MECHANICAL

The Kubota L1-22 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD configuration, offering enhanced traction on varied terrains, beneficial for applications such as tillage or landscaping. The wet disc brake system provides reliable stopping power, improving safety during heavy-duty operations. Its open operator station enhances visibility and comfort, although it may expose the operator to weather conditions; this is ideal for short-duration tasks in fair weather environments.

KUBOTA L1-22 TIRES

The Kubota L1-22 tractor offers both 2WD and 4WD configurations, enhancing traction and stability for various agricultural tasks. The 2WD with standard ag tires may be suitable for lighter-duty applications, but the 4WD option significantly improves maneuverability and power distribution across uneven terrain. It is essential to consider soil type and workload demands when selecting between these configurations, as 4WD is advantageous for heavy tillage and hilly areas.

2WD Standard tires (ag) Front: 4.00-15. Rear: 9.5-24
4WD Standard tires (ag) Front: 6-14. Rear: 9.5-24
