KUBOTA L1-24 TIRES

The Kubota L1-24 tractor is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, which allows for flexibility depending on terrain and workload; 2WD is generally more fuel-efficient but may struggle in slippery conditions, whereas 4WD provides enhanced traction and stability. The standard agricultural tires, with sizes tailored for each drive type, contribute to the tractor's capability in handling diverse field applications, particularly with the 11.2-24 rear tires providing a larger footprint for improved load distribution. A consideration for purchasing is the local terrain: the 4WD option is ideal for muddy or uneven surfaces, while the 2WD may suffice for flatter, stable ground.

2WD Standard tires (ag) Front: 5.00-15. Rear: 11.2-24
