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.

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.

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.
