Kubota B21
The Kubota B21 is a compact and versatile tractor that's perfect for small farms and big yards. It's a 4-wheel drive machine with a hydrostatic transmission, which means it's easy to control and can handle many different jobs. This tractor was made from 2001 to 2007, so it's a bit older but still reliable. The B21 has a Kubota D1005 diesel engine with 21 horsepower. It's liquid-cooled and has three cylinders, which helps it run smoothly. The tractor weighs 3,990 pounds and has industrial tires, making it sturdy for tough work. It has a Category I hitch that can lift up to 1,014 pounds, and a live rear PTO that spins at 540 rpm for running attachments. One cool feature is that you can add a backhoe to this tractor, making it even more useful for digging and moving dirt.
