Introduction
Kubota B8200 Compact Utility Tractor
Produced between 1983 and 1990, the Kubota B8200 is a compact utility tractor designed for general agricultural tasks, landscaping, and property maintenance. Manufactured in Japan, this model was available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Kubota D950-A-DT, a liquid-cooled, 3-cylinder diesel engine. With a displacement of 0.9 liters (56.6 cubic inches), the engine produces a gross power output of 19 horsepower at a rated speed of 2600 RPM. It utilizes a dry paper element air cleaner for filtration and features a coolant capacity of 4.2 quarts.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The B8200 offers two primary transmission configurations: a hydrostatic transmission providing infinite forward and reverse speeds across three ranges, or a gear-driven transmission featuring 9 forward and 3 reverse speeds. The gear model is equipped with a 7.9-inch dry disc clutch. The drivetrain includes a mechanical rear differential lock to assist with traction in difficult conditions.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is an open-center type operating at 1715 psi. Total flow rates vary based on the drivetrain, with 2WD models providing 4 gallons per minute and 4WD models providing 6 gallons per minute. The tractor is equipped with a Category I rear 3-point hitch featuring position control, capable of lifting 1015 lbs at 24 inches behind the lift points. Power Take-Off (PTO) options include a live rear PTO (540 RPM), an independent mid-mount PTO, and a continuous front PTO driven by a pulley.
Dimensions and Chassis
Built on a 60.4-inch wheelbase, the tractor has an overall length of 106.7 inches and a width of 55.3 inches. The ground clearance is 9.3 inches, allowing for operation over uneven terrain. It features manual steering as standard, with power steering available as an optional upgrade. Braking is handled by dry internal expanding brakes.
Conclusion
The Kubota B8200 is a robust, compact machine suitable for small-scale agricultural work and property management. Its variety of transmission and PTO options, combined with the choice of 2WD or 4WD, allows it to accommodate a wide range of implements and operational requirements.
