Kubota BX2230
The Kubota BX2230 is a small but mighty utility tractor. It's a sub-compact model that's perfect for small farms or big yards. This tractor was made from 2004 to 2006. It has a 4-wheel drive system and power steering, which makes it easy to use. The BX2230 has a Kubota D902-E-BX engine. This engine is diesel-powered and has 3 cylinders. It can produce 22 horsepower, which is on the lower end for tractors but good for its size. The engine is liquid-cooled and runs at 3200 rpm, which is very high compared to other tractors. The tractor has a hydrostatic transmission with infinite forward and reverse gears in two ranges. This means it's smooth and easy to control. This tractor is small, measuring 77.6 inches long, 44.9 inches wide, and 70.9 inches tall. It weighs 1290 pounds, which is very light for a tractor. It has a three-point hitch that can lift up to 684 pounds, which is below average but suitable for its size. The BX2230 also has a power take-off (PTO) that spins at 540 rpm, useful for running attachments. It's an open station tractor, so there's no cab, but this makes it easy to hop on and off for quick jobs.
