Hard worker: The Kubota BX23S is the most versatile sub compact tractor available in the new BX range.

KUBOTA will showcase its BX series sub tractors at Farm World.

Compact in design yet powerful, the sub compact BX series tractor range is designed to tackle a range of jobs with ease.

The new BX80 series tractors range in size from 18hp to 25.5hp, with the engine and drivetrain unchanged from the previous BX70 series.

What is new is a comfier high-back seat, updated dash, repositioned loader controls and new attachment systems for the loader and backhoe.

Kubota Tractors Australia product manager Mark Basile said the attachment systems were designed to make it simpler for the lifestyle market.

“I don’t think it can get any easier,” he said. “You can attach and detach the loader without having to get off the machine. The backhoe is also easier, with a pinless system. It has a clamping mechanism so your fingers aren’t near any of the pinch points.”

All the tractors are four-wheel drive and the rear three-point linkage is rated to lift 310kg.

Kubota’s range of tractors will be on display at site C1.
