Kubota GL280

The Kubota GL280 is a compact utility tractor that was manufactured by Kubota from 1993 until 1995. It features a 4x4 MFWD 4WD chassis, which means that it is a four-wheel drive tractor with mechanical front-wheel drive. It is steered via a power steering system, providing ease of handling. This tractor is equipped with a 16-speed gear transmission and an optional power shift, giving it a good range of speed options for various tasks. It has a three-cylinder Kubota D1503 diesel engine with a displacement of 91.5 cubic inches and a bore and stroke measuring 3.268 inches and 3.638 inches respectively. It operates at up to 2600 rated RPM and delivers a power output of 27.6 horsepower. The tractor can be fitted with a ROPS (roll-over protection structure) or a cab, resulting in different weights and heights. The tractor's length also varies depending on the presence of a ROPS or cab. Its design includes a significant ground clearance of 14.2 inches that enables operation over uneven terrain. Other dimensional specifications such as the wheelbase, width, and the tread for both front and rear tires provide stability and navigation capability over different types of soil. The Kubota GL280 was part of the GL Series and could accommodate a variety of attachments via its Category I three-point hitch.
