Overview

The Kubota KB17X is a small but mighty utility tractor, perfect for light farm work and gardening. It's a sub-compact model, which means it's easy to maneuver in tight spaces. This tractor has four-wheel drive, so it can handle tough terrain and slippery conditions.

Under the hood, the KB17X has a Kubota D1005 diesel engine with three cylinders. It's liquid-cooled to keep it running smoothly. The engine puts out 16.8 horsepower, which is on the lower end compared to other tractors but just right for its size. It has a power shift transmission with 9 forward and 9 reverse gears, giving you lots of options for different tasks. The tractor also has power steering, making it easy to turn and control.

This Kubota model is compact, measuring 91.3 inches long, 42.3 inches wide, and 73.6 inches tall. It weighs 1,521 pounds, which is light for a tractor. The KB17X comes with a roll-over protection structure (ROPS) for safety. It was made from 2009 to 2014, so you might find used models available. With its Category 0 hitch, you can attach small implements to help with your work.
