Kubota JB16

Last Updated: September 2024

Overview

The Kubota JB16 is a small but mighty utility tractor, perfect for light farm work and gardening. It was made from 2006 to 2008 and is part of Kubota's sub-compact tractor line. This little powerhouse has a 4-wheel drive system and power steering, making it easy to handle in tight spaces.

Under the hood, the JB16 has a Kubota D1005 diesel engine with three cylinders. It's liquid-cooled and naturally aspirated, which means it doesn't use a turbocharger. The engine puts out 16.2 horsepower, which is on the lower end for tractors but just right for its size. It has a 6-speed manual transmission for going forward and 2 speeds for reverse. The tractor is small, measuring 80.5 inches long, 38.2 inches wide, and 72.4 inches tall. It weighs 1,301 pounds, which is very light compared to larger farm tractors. Despite its small size, it has a good ground clearance of 11.2 inches, helping it move over rough ground easily.
