ENGINE DETAIL

The Kubota L1-235 tractor is powered by a robust D1462 diesel engine that offers 22.7 hp at a rated 2500 RPM, making it suitable for moderate agricultural tasks such as tilling and mowing. Its compact size, with a displacement of 1.5L and a bore/stroke ratio of 3.4x3.2 inches, provides efficient fuel consumption while maintaining sufficient torque for small to medium implements. However, the engine's limited power output may pose challenges in heavy-duty applications, necessitating careful selection of tasks to avoid overloading.

TRANSMISSION

The Kubota L1-235 tractor features a shuttle transmission that facilitates seamless direction changes with minimal operator fatigue, ideal for applications requiring frequent forward-reverse operations. With a total of 16 gears, including four ranges, it offers excellent versatility in varying field conditions, allowing operators to select the optimal speed and torque. However, the dry disc clutch may require more maintenance under heavy use, so operators should be aware of its durability thresholds under extended loads.

KUBOTA L1-235 TIRES

The Kubota L1-235 tractor's 2WD configuration with standard agricultural tires (4.00-15 front, 9.5-24 rear) offers enhanced maneuverability for light-duty tasks, making it ideal for smaller plots or confined spaces. Conversely, the 4WD version, featuring larger front tires (6-14) and the same rear tires (9.5-24), provides superior traction and power distribution on varied terrain, effectively addressing more challenging conditions like moist or hilly landscapes. Users should consider the operational context; while 2WD is economical for simple applications, 4WD is advantageous for versatility and productivity in more demanding agricultural environments.
