The tractor is powered by the Kubota Z750, a 2-cylinder, liquid-cooled inline diesel engine. With a displacement of 0.7 liters (45.3 cubic inches) and a bore/stroke of 76 x 82 mm, it produces 14.8 hp (11.0 kW) at a rated speed of 2800 RPM. The cooling system utilizes a thermosyphon design, and the engine is started via a 12-volt electric starter.

The L1500 features a gear-type transmission providing 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds, allowing for a wide range of operational flexibility. It is available in both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations. Steering is manual, and the tractor is equipped with mechanical drum brakes to ensure reliable stopping power.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The hydraulic system includes a pump providing a flow of 3.7 gpm (14.0 lpm). The rear hitch is a Category I three-point hitch with a lift capacity of 1323 lbs (600 kg). The rear Power Take-Off (PTO) operates at 540 RPM, facilitating the use of various implements for agricultural and maintenance duties.

Dimensions and Weight

The tractor is built on a 52.8-inch (134 cm) wheelbase with a total length of 91.7 inches (232 cm). Its compact design, with a width of 44.1 inches (112 cm) and a ground clearance of 18.1 inches (45 cm), allows for maneuverability in tight spaces. The weight varies by configuration, with the 2WD model weighing 1506 lbs (683 kg) and the 4WD model weighing 1653 lbs (749 kg).
