What it does

Silhouette of a compact tractor: small front wheels, large rear wheels, open driving seat, and a three-point linkage at the rear carrying a tool. Diagrammatic silhouette, without dimensions and not to scale.
What sets it apart:
the size changes, the power take-off does not — it takes the tools of the farming world.
Diagrammatic silhouette, without dimensions and not to scale.

Maintaining grassed surfaces, small transport tasks, small mounted tools.

What it does not do. Limited power and lift:
it does not replace a tractor.

02 Fitting
A compact tractor carrying a mower at the rear, roll bar up, on the lawn of a green space bordered by hedges; a low house closes the background.
It goes where a tractor will not get in:
a path, a gateway, an enclosed green space.

What governs the fitting of an attachment

  • The volume and the distance They are what decide whether this machine has a place on the site, or whether another will do the same work for less.
  • The room available A machine that cannot manoeuvre does not produce, whatever its capacity.
  • The rate of the neighbouring machines It is rarely calculated and often costs more than the hire:
    a machine that waits costs as much as a machine that works.
  • Transport to the worksite It governs what can actually be sent, and it is settled before everything else.
03 Reference point

Caveat. Figures converted from a sheet in American units, on an independent database and not at Kubota's.
To be confirmed before going online.

Caveat. The linkage is category I:
that is the smallest.
A tool designed for category II will not fit, whatever the power available.

These values are those of one precise model, at one precise date. They do not describe a category:
there are no characteristics of a compact loader in general, there are those of the model you have.
They change from one year to the next and never replace the data sheet of your machine.

Have your machine checked.

Give us the exact model and the work you have in mind.
We check the coupler, the flow, the pressure and the capacity on your machine, and we tell you what fits on it — and what does not.
