The Kubota B6001 is a sub-compact utility tractor produced in Japan between 1976 and 1984. It belongs to a series of compact machines designed for agricultural maintenance and small-scale operations, known for its mechanical simplicity and versatility in confined work environments.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Kubota D650, a 3-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with a displacement of 0.7 liters (39.67 cubic inches). It generates a rated power of 14 horsepower (10.4 kW) at 3000 RPM. The electrical system utilizes a 12-volt battery with a negative ground configuration.

The B6001 features an unsynchronized gear transmission providing 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds. It is available in a 4x2 2WD configuration, with a 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front Wheel Drive) option offered on the B6001DT model to enhance traction on uneven or soft terrain.
Hydraulics and PTO
The rear power take-off (PTO) is equipped with a 1.375-inch shaft, providing three selectable speeds of 540, 860, and 1000 RPM. This multi-speed capability allows the operator to match the PTO output to the specific power requirements of various implements.
Dimensions and Chassis
With a wheelbase of 45.9 inches (116 cm) and a total weight of 1,050 lbs (476 kg), the tractor is designed for high maneuverability. The rear tread width is adjustable between 29.1 and 33.1 inches (73 to 84 cm).
