Introduction

Kubota KT22 Compact Utility Tractor

The Kubota KT22 is a compact utility tractor produced between 2000 and 2004. Designed for versatility in agricultural and property maintenance applications, this four-wheel-drive machine is part of the KT20 series, characterized by its focus on durability and operational efficiency.

Engine and Powertrain

The KT22 is powered by a Kubota D1403 liquid-cooled, three-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 1.4 liters (85 cubic inches). It delivers 21.7 horsepower (16.2 kW) at a rated speed of 2600 RPM. The tractor features power steering and wet disc brakes for enhanced control, and is equipped with a 12-volt electrical system with a negative ground.

Transmission and PTO

The tractor offers two transmission configurations: a standard 12-speed forward and reverse gearbox with a dry disc clutch, or the Glideshift power shift transmission providing 48 forward and 30 reverse gears. The latter allows for sequential shifting while in motion without the use of the clutch. The rear PTO operates at a standard 540 RPM.

Dimensions and Hydraulics

The unit features a Category I rear three-point hitch for implement attachment. With a wheelbase of 57.1 inches (145 cm) and a ground clearance of 12.6 inches (32 cm), the KT22 is well-suited for maneuvering in restricted spaces. The machine is standardly equipped with a two-post folding ROPS, with an optional air-conditioned cab available for operator comfort.
