ENGINE DETAIL
The Kubota L275, powered by the D1302-A diesel engine, delivers 27.5 hp at 2600 RPM, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks and small utility projects. Its compact size, with a 1.3L displacement and 21:1 compression ratio, ensures fuel efficiency and lower emissions, but may limit performance in heavy-duty applications. The use of a paper element air cleaner enhances filtration, but periodic maintenance is crucial to prevent airflow restriction and maintain optimal engine performance.

KUBOTA L275 ENGINE
The Kubota L275 features a 1.3L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing efficient torque output suitable for small to mid-sized agricultural tasks. Its 7.4-gallon fuel tank allows for extended operation time, reducing downtime for refueling during intensive work scenarios. However, the compact engine size may limit power for heavier applications, making it ideal for light to moderate duties rather than large-scale farming.

TRANSMISSION
The Kubota L275 features a dry disc clutch and an 8-forward, 7-reverse gear configuration, allowing for precise speed control and efficient maneuverability in various tasks. Its four gears in two ranges with a forward/reverse shuttle enable quick transitions, enhancing productivity during operations such as tilling or hauling. However, the absence of a synchronized transmission may pose a learning curve for operators used to more advanced systems.

MECHANICAL
The Kubota L275 tractor features a versatile 4x2, 4x4 MFWD, or 4WD option, enhancing traction in varying terrains, making it suitable for tasks ranging from light farming to utility work. Its 8-speed gear transmission allows for efficient speed selection, but the manual or optional power-assisted steering may lead to operator fatigue during prolonged use. The mechanical wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, however, regular maintenance is crucial to ensure optimal performance under heavy loads.

KUBOTA L275 TIRES
The Kubota L275 tractor offers versatile tire options, with agricultural configurations enhancing traction for farming tasks, particularly in 4WD scenarios with rear tires sized 11.2-24. The lawn/turf tires produce a lower ground pressure, making it suitable for landscaped areas or delicate surfaces, minimizing the risk of turf damage. However, the choice between 2WD and 4WD may impact fuel efficiency and maneuverability; 4WD typically provides better traction but may increase operational costs over time compared to the simpler 2WD system.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Kubota L275 features a 66.5-inch wheelbase for 2WD and a shorter 64.6-inch wheelbase for 4WD, providing enhanced stability and maneuverability in diverse terrains. Weighing 2,600 lbs (1179 kg), this tractor balances power and portability, making it suitable for small to medium farm tasks. However, the modest tire dimensions (5.00-15 front, 11.2-24 rear) may limit traction in extremely loose soil conditions, highlighting the importance of selecting the right tire setup for specific applications.
