The Kubota GL26 is a compact utility tractor produced between 1990 and 1992, designed for versatile use in agricultural and property maintenance applications. Part of the GL25/GL27 series, this model combines a liquid-cooled diesel powertrain with a power shift transmission to provide reliable performance in varied working environments.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is equipped with the Kubota D1503 engine, a 1.5-liter, 3-cylinder diesel unit capable of producing 25.6 horsepower (19.1 kW) at a rated speed of 2600 RPM. The engine utilizes a liquid-cooling system to ensure thermal stability during prolonged operation.
Transmission and Handling
The GL26 features a power shift transmission offering 16 forward and 16 reverse speeds. This system integrates eight power shift gears across two ranges, complemented by a shuttle shift mechanism for improved maneuverability. Standard four-wheel drive, power steering, and mechanical wet disc brakes provide consistent control and traction.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic pump delivers a flow rate of 5.6 gpm (21.2 lpm), supporting various implements. It is configured with a Category I rear hitch capable of lifting up to 2061 lbs (934 kg). The rear power take-off (PTO) operates at multiple speeds to accommodate diverse attachment requirements.
Dimensions and Chassis
With a wheelbase of 64.8 inches (164 cm) and a ground clearance of 13.6 inches (34 cm), the machine is designed for stability and clearance in field or utility settings. The tractor weighs approximately 2646 lbs (1200 kg) and is equipped with a two-post folding Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) for operator safety.
Conclusion
The Kubota GL26 serves as a balanced utility platform suitable for operators requiring a compact machine with significant lifting capacity and the flexibility of a power shift transmission. Its construction and mechanical features prioritize durability and ease of operation for light to medium-duty agricultural tasks.
