Introduction

Kubota GT-3 Compact Utility Tractor

The Kubota GT-3 is a compact utility tractor manufactured between 1992 and 2000. Designed for versatility in agricultural and maintenance tasks, it belongs to a series of compact machines known for their mechanical reliability and four-wheel drive capability.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by the Kubota V1405L, a liquid-cooled, four-cylinder diesel engine. With a displacement of 86.8 cubic inches (1.4 liters), it produces 20.7 horsepower at a rated engine speed of 2600 RPM. The engine relies on an electric starter powered by a 12-volt electrical system to ensure consistent ignition.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The machine features a transmission system providing 12 forward gears and 4 reverse gears. It is configured with three gears plus reverse across four distinct ranges, including a creeper range for slow-speed precision tasks. The standard four-wheel drive system enhances traction in uneven or soft terrain.

Hydraulics and Power Take-Off

Equipped for implement operation, the GT-3 features a rear power take-off (PTO) that offers three speeds: 540, 750, and 1000 RPM. This multi-speed capability allows the tractor to adapt to a wide variety of implements requiring different power inputs.

Dimensions and Operator Environment

The tractor has a wheelbase of 57.1 inches and a total length of 111 inches. The width measures 45.7 inches, providing a narrow profile for tight spaces. Operators are protected by a two-post folding Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS), with a factory cab available as an optional configuration. The ROPS-equipped model weighs approximately 1918 lbs, while the cab version weighs 1973 lbs.

Conclusion

The Kubota GT-3 is a specialized compact utility tractor suited for small-scale farming and maintenance applications where maneuverability and multi-speed PTO functionality are required. Its robust construction and liquid-cooled diesel engine make it a durable choice for long-term field use.
