Kubota GB18

Last Updated: September 2024

Overview

The Kubota GB18 is a small but mighty utility tractor that was made from 1997 to 2001. It's a sub-compact model, which means it's perfect for tight spaces and light work. This tractor has four-wheel drive, so it can handle tough ground and slippery conditions.

Under the hood, the GB18 has a Kubota D1005 diesel engine. It's a 3-cylinder engine that doesn't need a turbocharger to run well. The engine is liquid-cooled to keep it from getting too hot. With 17.7 horsepower, it's not the strongest tractor out there, but it's good for its size. The tractor has a gear transmission with 18 forward speeds and 9 reverse speeds, giving you lots of options for different jobs. It also has power steering to make turning easier.

This Kubota is pretty small, measuring 91.3 inches long, 40.9 inches wide, and 72.8 inches tall. It weighs 1521 pounds, which is light compared to bigger tractors. The GB18 has a roll-over protection structure (ROPS) to keep the driver safe. It starts with an electric starter and has a 12-volt system. The tractor uses a Category 0 hitch, which is good for small implements. With its compact size and useful features, the Kubota GB18 is a handy tractor for small farms or big yards.
