Kubota KL285

Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The Kubota KL285 is a compact utility tractor designed for a variety of tasks around the farm or homestead. It features a robust four-wheel drive 4x4 MFWD 4WD chassis and is powered by a 27.6 horsepower Kubota D1703 diesel engine. It has a versatile transmission with 24 forward gears and 16 reverse, which allows for flexibility in a wide range of operations. With a wheelbase of 67.7 inches, it provides stability for different kinds of work. It also comes with both ROPS and an optional cab configuration, offering operator comfort and safety. The tractor supports a front tire size of 7-16 and a larger rear tire size of 12.4-24, contributing to its good traction and handling abilities. The tractor's size, with a length of 123.6 inches and width of 54 inches, coupled with a height of 83.5 inches in its cab version, make it a versatile and manageable machine for many environments. With a ground clearance of 13.6 inches, it can handle a variety of terrain without the undercarriage getting hung up. Steering is made easier with a power steering system, and operation times are longer due to the electric starter's convenience. The weight varies from 2833 lbs with just the ROPS to 3285 lbs when equipped with the cab, which shows its substantial build quality. Production of the KL285 ran for a short time, from 2008 to 2009, but its characteristics make it a valuable tractor for those in possession of one.
