Kubota BX231 Compact Tractor: Versatile Power for Small Holdings and Large Gardens

The Kubota BX231 Compact Tractor brings professional-level versatility to private estates, small holdings and large gardens. Thanks to Kubota’s decades of engineering expertise, it is capable of hauling, climbing and pulling its way through your most arduous jobs. From mowing and soil cultivation to loader work and towing, this small tractor provides the strength and flexibility needed to get work done with minimal fuss.

Compact dimensions make the Kubota BX231 easier to operate than a full-size tractor. With a powerful diesel engine, four-wheel drive, and ability to operate a wide range of attachments, this Kubota tractor is a dependable solution for landowners who need one machine to complete multiple tasks.

Powerful Diesel Performance in a Compact Package

The Kubota BX231 is fitted with a reliable D902-E4-BX-3EU liquid-cooled, three-cylinder diesel engine. Producing 17.1kW (23.3hp) of gross power from its 898cc displacement, it delivers the performance needed for effective work with multiple implements.

This efficient engine helps keep running costs manageable, while the 25-litre fuel tank allows longer working periods between refuelling stops. Whether you’re mowing a lawn, maintaining paddocks or transporting materials, the Kubota BX231 brings consistent power to every job.

A hydrostatic transmission makes operation smooth and simple. The twin foot pedals allow quick changes between forward and reverse travel, making the tractor easy to control when carrying out repetitive tasks or working in confined areas. Maximum travelling speeds reach 13.5km/h (8.4mph) forwards and 10.5km/h (6.5mph) in reverse.

Built for Mowing, Landscaping and Property Maintenance

The Kubota BX231 sub-compact tractor is designed as a true multi-purpose machine. Its live independent PTO system features a wet hydraulic clutch and delivers 13.2kW (17.9hp), allowing the tractor to power a wide range of attachments.

Both rear and mid PTOs are supplied as standard, giving owners plenty of flexibility. The middle and rear PTOs can also be used together when required, such as when operating a mower deck alongside a grass collection system.

For mowing large areas, the BX231 offers several cutting deck options. This includes 122cm (48-inch) rear discharge, 122cm (48-inch) side discharge, 137cm (54-inch) side discharge, 137cm (54-inch) side discharge over mower, and 152cm (60-inch) side discharge decks. Make your choice using the dropdown menu above.

The Easy-Over mid-mount mower deck provides class-leading ground clearance, which helps protect the deck when travelling over uneven terrain. A durable shaft drive transfers power directly from the mid PTO, eliminating belt slippage and reducing maintenance requirements.

The mowing height adjustment dial allows precise changes in ¼-inch increments, helping you achieve the ideal finish for different grass conditions.

A Wide Range of Implements for Greater Versatility

Beyond mowing, the Kubota BX231 can be equipped with many different implements to increase its capabilities. The Category I three-point hitch is hydraulically controlled and provides a strong connection point for a variety of rear-mounted equipment.

Popular attachments include flail mowers, toppers, transport boxes and tipping trailers. A dedicated front loader is also available, providing a practical solution for moving soil, gravel, logs and other materials.

The front loader offers a lift capacity of 235kg and a maximum lift height of 1,810mm. Combined with the tractor’s compact size and excellent manoeuvrability, this makes the BX231 highly effective for landscaping projects and general property maintenance work.

Grass collection options are available too, including high-dump and low-dump collectors. Additional accessories include trailers and other specialist implements, allowing the tractor to be configured around your exact requirements.

Designed for Operator Comfort and Easy Control

Long working days are made more enjoyable thanks to the Kubota BX231’s spacious operator area. The fully flat deck layout offers increased legroom, while the brake position has been moved to the right side for improved accessibility.

A fully padded, high-back suspension seat with adjustable armrests provides excellent support and high levels of comfort, reducing driver fatigue during extended use. The tilt steering wheel can be adjusted to suit different operators, making this small tractor comfortable for everyone.

The redesigned instrument panel provides clear information through easy-to-read indicators. A quick glance shows the essential operating information needed to use the tractor safely and efficiently.

Cruise control is included as standard and helps maintain a consistent speed without constant pedal operation. This is especially useful when mowing larger areas.

Strong Construction and Practical Features

The Kubota BX231 has been engineered to last. Its metal bonnet and fenders resist dents and damage, helping the tractor maintain its appearance even during demanding work.

A ROPS (Rollover Protective Structure) increases driver safety. It can be folded down to allow the tractor to pass through lower entrances, for example into garages and storage buildings. When combined with the compact dimensions, this makes the BX231 much easier to store than larger tractors.

Four-wheel drive is included as standard too, providing additional traction when working on uneven or challenging ground. This Kubota tractor also offers 213mm of ground clearance, helping it travel over rocks, rough terrain and other obstacles.

Additional standard features include bright halogen headlights, hydraulic power steering, a cup holder, hand rail, storage compartment and 12V socket.

Simple Servicing and Long-Term Reliability

Kubota is renowned worldwide for manufacturing dependable agricultural and groundcare machinery. Since 1890, the company has built a strong reputation for quality engineering and long-lasting performance.

The BX231 tractor has been designed to make routine maintenance easier. The bonnet is straightforward to fully open, providing quick access to serviceable engine components and helping simplify daily checks.

For your added peace of mind, this Kubota compact tractor comes with a comprehensive two-year manufacturer warranty as standard. Owners can also choose to take out Kubota Care, which extends cover up to five years (subject to terms and servicing requirements).
