ENGINE DETAIL

The Kubota L210 is powered by a Z1100A diesel engine, providing a gross output of 21hp at a rated RPM of 2700, making it suitable for small to medium agricultural tasks. Its high compression ratio of 20:1 allows for efficient fuel combustion, while the oil bath air cleaner enhances durability in dusty environments. However, the relatively low power output limits its capacity for heavy-duty applications, making it best suited for light farming projects and residential property maintenance.

ENGINE OIL

The Kubota L210 has an oil capacity of 5.3 quarts (5.0 liters), which is relatively moderate for compact tractors, allowing for efficient lubrication and maintenance intervals. Regular oil changes are crucial to prevent premature wear on the engine components, particularly under heavy load scenarios. An advantage of this capacity is that it enables swift oil changes without excessive waste disposal concerns, but be aware that if oil levels are not routinely monitored, you risk operational inefficiencies or potential engine damage.

KUBOTA L210 ENGINE

The Kubota L210 features a robust 1.1L 2-cylinder diesel engine, providing reliable torque and fuel efficiency suitable for small scale agricultural tasks or compact landscaping. Its lightweight and compact design enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, but may limit its power for heavy-duty applications. Consider this tractor for small farms or hobbyist operations where agility and efficiency are paramount.

TRANSMISSION

The Kubota L210 tractor features a gear configuration of 6 forward and 2 reverse, providing versatility for various agricultural tasks and improved maneuverability. Its oil capacity of 12.8 quarts (12.1 liters) allows for adequate lubrication and efficient operation, essential for maintaining engine performance and longevity under heavy load conditions. However, ensure to monitor oil levels consistently to prevent potential overheating or engine wear, especially during extended usage in demanding scenarios.

MECHANICAL

The Kubota L210 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, making it suitable for light-duty tasks on firm ground but less effective in slippery conditions, which may limit its versatility. The manual steering offers simplicity and ease of maintenance, while the differential mechanical expanding shoe brakes provide reliable stopping power, though they may not offer the precision of advanced hydraulic systems. The open operator station with a retro-fit ROPS enhances operator safety but may expose the user to environmental elements, necessitating the use of appropriate protective gear during operation.

KUBOTA L210 TIRES

The Kubota L210 tractor features a compact size with front tires sized 4.00-15 and rear tires 9.00-24, optimizing it for agility in small-scale agricultural tasks. Its tire configuration enhances traction while minimizing soil compaction, making it suitable for light tillage and hauling jobs. However, limited horsepower may challenge its performance in heavier applications or rough terrains; ideal for small farms or gardens where maneuverability is prioritized.
