Introduction
Kubota L1-325 Compact Utility Tractor
The Kubota L1-325 is a compact utility tractor produced between 1988 and 1991. Designed for versatility in agricultural and property maintenance tasks, this model serves as a reliable workhorse within the L1 series, featuring a four-wheel drive configuration for enhanced traction.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Kubota V1702 diesel engine, a 1.7-liter, 4-cylinder liquid-cooled unit. It delivers a rated power of 31.6 hp (23.6 kW) at 2700 engine RPM. The engine uses a 12-volt electric starting system to ensure consistent ignition.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Equipped with a mechanical transmission offering 16 forward and 16 reverse gears, the L1-325 allows for precise speed selection to match various field conditions. The four-wheel drive system provides the necessary stability and grip for demanding terrain.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system features a pump flow rate of 6.2 gpm (23.5 lpm), providing sufficient pressure for basic implement operations. The rear power take-off (PTO) operates at multiple speeds—634, 733, 1108, and 1350 RPM—using a standard 1.375-inch shaft to accommodate a wide range of agricultural attachments.
Hitch and Dimensions
The rear of the tractor is equipped with a Category I three-point hitch, capable of lifting up to 1609 lbs (729 kg). With a wheelbase of 68.3 inches (173 cm) and a weight of 3064 lbs (1389 kg), the L1-325 maintains a compact footprint while offering sufficient mass for stable implement operation. It rides on 8-16 front and 13.6-24 rear agricultural tires.
Conclusion
The Kubota L1-325 represents a durable, mechanical-focused solution for small-scale farming and maintenance. Its combination of a 16-speed transmission, four-wheel drive, and a standard Category I hitch makes it a versatile choice for operators requiring a maneuverable yet capable compact tractor.
