New small tractors good around yards

Written by 

KUBOTA NEW Zealand is introducing a new level in sub-compact tractors – three models it says will keep all yard projects “in good hands”. 

 

The 23hp BX2370, 26hp BX2670 and 25hp BX25D are said to make life easier for the operator: jobs will be more of a breeze than ever before, the company says.   

All models now come standard with a high-back reclining seat with armrests.   

A new steering wheel has a smaller hub and is better positioned for improved dash visibility and ergonomics.  The new dash is easier to read with a large analogue tachometer, digital gauges and easier to see warning lights grouped in the middle of the display.  

A re-positioned brake pedal to the left side of the flat operator’s platform allows for simultaneous operation of transmission and brakes. 

The new backhoe station is designed “with the best ergonomics in this segment” and now comes standard with the same high-back reclining seat as the rest of the BX70 range.   

A new feature on the BX25D is shock-absorbing cushioning valves on the hydraulic circuit; these take the shock out of operation when you reach the boom or swing maximums.

Power comes from Kubota designed and built diesel engines “that deliver unparalleled power and performance,” the company says.  

A range-wide foldable ROPS frame meets all SAE specifications, providing safe operation and the option of folding it down for added manoeuvrability under low hanging obstructions.  

Kubota is imported in New Zealand by C B Norwood Distributors Ltd.
