But first, join us as we share our guide to the 2025 range of Kubota compact tractors to help you make a more confident purchasing decision.
Before we take you through what Kubota is focusing on throughout 2025 (and beyond) with this year’s compact tractor range, we thought you might like to learn a bit more about the brand itself…
Why invest in a Kubota tractor?
Kubota has developed a glowing reputation in the agricultural industry (and further), making it one of the most popular and reputable brands in the industry – but how?
For starters, Kubota prides itself on its ‘unrivalled reliability’ and ‘class-leading features’, balancing building durable, robust machines and innovation with future-thinking functionality. They’re also well-known for reliability and performance-driven efficiency, and for their sustainability efforts.
Kubota is a go-to brand for compact tractors that are small enough to be inclusive of small-to-medium-sized farms or areas where manoeuvrability is more of a challenge. You’ll also get excellent user comfort, with ergonomic features being put at the forefront of Kubota compact tractor design.
Precision is also a key consideration for all Kubota machines, making the user's life a great deal easier whilst simultaneously reducing wasted energy and materials. Plus, Kubota’s diesel engines now meet the latest European Stage V emissions standard.
The latest from Kubota
As always, Kubota continues to be committed to providing machines that are purpose-built to lighten your workload, drive your productivity up, and drive your spending down.
This year we have seen a more prominent focus on digitisation and supporting more data-driven farming. This includes features such as telematics (merging telecommunications, informatics, and wireless sharing), built-in LCD screens, enhanced GPS, and more sophisticated exterior cameras. It also includes integrated smart technology such as precision farming software and smart sensors.
We’ve also seen even more efforts to improve the quality of life for farmers by including more ergonomic features; such as ‘air ride’ seats with low-profile suspension, easy-access one-piece bonnets, and enhanced noise reduction.
Kubota compact tractors: the 2025 range
Next, let’s take a look at the 2025 Kubota compact tractor range to highlight some of the key features and benefits of each series.
EK1 Series
The EK1 series features machines, such as the EK1-261, which are all great entry-level compact tractors. They have been designed with ease of use in mind and promise powerful, reliable performance.
The 9F/3R gearbox delivers smooth, effortless gear-shifting, while a heavy-duty rear power lift makes heavy loading easy and convenient. A dry air filter allows for maximum performance and improved fuel efficiency, and a one-piece bonnet makes it safer and quicker to access the engine for maintenance.
B1 Series
Dubbed the ‘compact all-rounder’, each machine in the Kubota B1 series is small but powerful; these Kubota compact tractors are versatile, easy to maintain, and impressively agile in movement and operation.
The B1241 is an example of what you can expect from this range, which boasts an excellent price-performance ratio. A spacious operator platform and ergonomically arranged controls are designed with usability in mind, whilst a powerful, high-torque diesel engine promises smooth running and reliable performance – and crucially improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions.
The B1 series is a great option for those looking to travel over rough terrain thanks to the standard 4-wheel drive, with powerful rear and front lift adding to the machine’s ‘muscle’.
BX Series
Prized for their agility, the first model in the BX series was launched almost 20 years ago – which is a testament to its longevity and reliability as an industry-leading compact tractor with a strong, reliable engine.
Powered by hydraulics to remove the need for gear shifting, the smooth hydrostatic transmission allows minimum user effort and maximum productivity output. Plus, strong rear linkage enhances the lifting power, while a robust front loader makes these durable machines ample for a wide variety of applications. The BX Kubota compact tractor series features an easy-access engine, ergonomic design, and a spacious operator platform too.
The Kubota BX231 and the Kubota BX261 are particularly popular machines from the BX series and as with all models in the range, they come with a choice of Cab or ROPs structure.
B2 Series
If you need something extremely versatile that offers high daily outputs, we would recommend the B2 series.
A high-torque diesel engine and powerful hydraulics make any B2 compact tractor a great option when dealing with demanding applications and transport work. Another appealing feature of the B2 series is enhanced noise reduction. Thanks to its semi-floating valve cover and molybdenum sulphide-coated pistons, if you need something that is going to run more quietly than other compact tractors, this is the one.
Plus, each machine in the series offers outstanding comfort considering its size so you can enjoy relaxed operation with efficient performance.
LX Series
The LX series features the ultimate collection of multipurpose compact tractors designed for a wide and diverse range of applications and uses. From mowing lawns to maintaining roads, you can be sure you are getting durability and user-led features in equal measure.
The series offers a new 3-stage HST transmission, which enhances power and precision simultaneously, for smooth, responsive operation boosted by a high-performance hydraulic system. You can even choose from an increased range of attachments to increase the range of applications tractors from the LX series can do.
L1 Series
Kubota is renowned for keeping costs as modest as possible but if you are looking for truly unbeatable value for your money, the L1 series is one we would highly recommend. The range features a powerful diesel engine, robust drive trains, heavy lifting loads, and a strong hydraulic system that is reliable and efficient.
And, if you’d prefer HST transmission, check out the L1452, designed to make your life easier.
Plus, a spacious operator area, ergonomic interior, and a useful 50-litre fuel tank have all been designed and included with your comfort and convenience in mind.
L2 Series
While the EK1 series is made for entry-level operators, the L2 series is designed for those with experience. This is the ultimate professional compact tractor range from Kubota, combining robust design, cutting-edge technology, ergonomic comfort, and maximum efficiency in one machine.
Choose from HST transmission with 3-stage group shifting or synchronised 16/16 gearbox, both of which deliver smooth output and ease of use. The hydraulic pump system and powerful rear lifting are perfect for professional use, wherever you find yourself.
Automatic air conditioning, multiple USB charging sockets, and a large sun visor are all unique features implemented to improve the operator’s quality of life. Plus, machines in this range, such as the L2522, include a dust particulate filter that only requires cleaning every 6,000 hours – the most extended in its class.
