Overview
The Kubota B1400 is a Japanese-built sub-compact utility tractor produced between 1979 and 1982, featuring a 19 hp three-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. Weighing 1,100 lbs and offering a Category I rear hitch, this model is designed for light farm applications requiring a compact and maneuverable machine.
Ideal Applications
Small-Scale Implement Work:
The Category I rear hitch and triple-speed rear PTO (540, 860, and 1000 RPM) allow the tractor to operate various standard attachments using its 14 hp claimed PTO output.
Tight-Space Maneuvering:
With a narrow width of 41.3 inches and a short 49.2-inch wheelbase, this tractor is well-suited for navigating confined areas or small farm plots where larger machinery cannot operate.
General Utility and Transport:
The 6-speed unsynchronized gear transmission and 9.3 inches of ground clearance provide a functional platform for moving around the farm in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive configurations.
