Introduction
Kubota MX4800 Utility Tractor
The Kubota MX4800 is a utility tractor produced between 2014 and 2020. Part of the MX series, this machine was designed to provide versatile performance for various agricultural and maintenance tasks, available in both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is powered by the Kubota V2403CR, a 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. It utilizes a common rail direct injection fuel system and meets Tier 4 emissions standards. The engine is rated at 2700 RPM, producing approximately 49 gross horsepower. Depending on the transmission choice, the net power output is 46.3 hp for hydrostatic models and 46.9 hp for shuttle shift models.
Transmission and Operation
Operators can choose between two transmission types: an 8-speed synchronized shuttle transmission for manual gear control, or a 3-range hydrostatic transmission for infinite speed adjustment without clutching. Both configurations utilize a wet disc clutch system to ensure durability and smooth engagement during operation.
Hydraulics and PTO
The MX4800 features an open-center hydraulic system with a pump flow capacity of 9.5 gpm (36.0 lpm) for implements and 4.9 gpm (18.5 lpm) dedicated to steering. It supports up to three remote valves. The rear PTO is an independent 540 RPM system, allowing for consistent power delivery to implements regardless of tractor movement.
Hitch and Dimensions
Equipped with a Category I/II three-point hitch, the tractor provides a lift capacity of 2,310 lbs (1,047 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift points. The unit is built on a 74.6-inch wheelbase with ground clearance varying between 15.2 and 15.9 inches depending on the drive configuration. A two-post foldable ROPS is standard for operator safety.
Conclusion
The Kubota MX4800 serves as a capable utility platform suitable for mid-size agricultural operations and property maintenance. Its combination of multiple transmission options and reliable hydraulic capacity allows it to support a wide range of mounted and towed implements.
