ENGINE DETAIL

The Kubota STA-35 features a robust D1703 diesel engine, providing 35.9 hp and 81.9 lb-ft of torque at a low RPM of 1500, making it suitable for tasks requiring high torque at low speeds, such as plowing. Its compact size with a 1.6L displacement enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, but be mindful of the limited 4.75-quart oil capacity, which may necessitate more frequent oil changes. Additionally, the electric starter at 12 volts ensures reliable starting in various conditions, an essential factor for consistent operational efficiency in different agricultural scenarios.

KUBOTA STA-35 ENGINE

The Kubota STA-35 features a robust 1.6L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering reliable performance with efficient fuel consumption. Its 7.8-gallon (29.5L) fuel tank provides extended operational range, making it suitable for extended heavy-duty tasks and reducing downtime for refueling. However, consider potential challenges with maintenance accessibility due to its compact engine layout, which could complicate service intervals in confined spaces.

TRANSMISSION

The Kubota STA-35 features a hydrostatic transmission that allows for infinite speed adjustments within its 3-range system, providing enhanced control during various agricultural tasks. With an oil capacity of 19.6 quarts (18.5 liters), it supports efficient lubrication and cooling, which is critical for prolonging engine life under heavy use. However, hydrostatic systems may have higher maintenance costs compared to gear-driven counterparts, making regular inspections crucial for optimal performance.

MECHANICAL

The Kubota STA-35 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD configuration, offering enhanced traction on varied terrains, ideal for agricultural and landscaping applications. Its hydrostatic transmission provides seamless speed control, beneficial for tasks requiring precision, while the wet disc brakes ensure reliable stopping power and reduced wear under heavy loads. The optional two-post folding ROPS improves safety, but the absence of a full cab may reduce operator comfort in inclement weather.

KUBOTA STA-35 TIRES

The Kubota STA-35 features standard agricultural tires (6.00-12 front, 9.5-22 rear) for optimal traction in farming applications, providing enhanced soil contact and stability. Alternatively, the lawn/turf configuration (24x8.50-14 front, 13.6-16 rear) offers a gentler approach, reducing soil compaction—ideal for landscaping or maintenance tasks on sensitive terrains. Carefully consider the specific application to choose the appropriate tire setup, as switching between these can impact performance and soil health.
