Kubota B1-16

Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The Kubota B1-16 is a sub-compact utility tractor which was manufactured between 1985 and 1988. It is outfitted with a manual steering system and rolls on a 4x2 two-wheel-drive chassis, making it more suited to flat terrain and lighter tasks. This model is powered by a Kubota D950 three-cylinder diesel engine which offers 16.5 horsepower and a displacement of 56.57 cubic inches. The tractor's engine runs at a rated RPM of 2600 and features a liquid cooling system to manage heat effectively. The transmission of the B1-16 is an unsynchronized gear type with 12 forward and rev gears, which, while not supporting smooth shifting like modern synchronized or hydrostatic transmissions, offers a variety of speed selections to accommodate different tasks. At a weight range of 1422 to 1521 pounds, this tractor has a substantial presence for its category and is equipped with a category 0 hitch on the rear, albeit its exact lift capacity remains unknown. Dimensions include a length of 91.3 inches, a width of 45.3 inches, and heights of 48.6 inches for the 2WD version and 48.8 inches for the 4WD variant, respectively.
