A Powerful and Efficient Kubota Diesel Engine
At the heart of this tractor is Kubota’s reliable 23-horsepower, 3-cylinder diesel engine. Specifically designed for this series, this fuel-efficient workhorse provides the muscle needed to handle demanding tasks like hauling, tilling, and mowing with ease.
Despite its impressive power, the engine ensures smooth operation, minimal fuel consumption, and exceptional performance over a wide variety of applications.
Compact yet powerful, the engine is gentle on turf, making this tractor as suited to delicate lawn care as it is to heavy-duty chores.
Compact Design for Unmatched Manoeuvrability
The mini tractor’s compact frame makes it highly manoeuvrable, allowing it to excel in tight spaces where larger tractors simply cannot go. Its overall dimensions are similar to a standard garden tractor, but don’t let the size fool you – this machine delivers the performance of a much larger unit.
Whether you’re navigating through narrow garden paths or working on open fields, its agile handling ensures you can complete your work efficiently and effectively.
Customisable with Mowing Deck Options
The tractor is available with a choice of deck cutting widths, including rear or side discharge options for the 48″ decks, as well as standard or drive-over side discharge decks in 54″ and 60″ widths. The drive-over deck design makes it significantly easier to remove and reattach the mowing deck, providing unmatched convenience when switching between mowing and using other implements.
Effortless Mowing with Precision-Engineered Mower Decks
These durable decks feature a high clearance of 152.4 mm, unmatched in its class, making it easy to travel over uneven terrain without sacrificing mowing quality.
The mowing-height adjustment dial allows you to quickly and effortlessly set your desired cutting height in ¼-inch increments, ensuring a clean, professional finish every time. Additionally, the durable shaft drive system delivers power smoothly from the mid-PTO to the mid-mount mower. Unlike traditional belt drives, the shaft drive minimises maintenance and eliminates slippage, providing reliable, consistent performance for years to come.
Whether you’re working with the 48″, 54″, or 60″ cutting widths, Kubota’s engineering ensures each pass is efficient, precise, and built to handle even the most demanding conditions.
Enhanced Operator Comfort
Kubota has designed the BX231 with operator comfort as a priority. The spacious flat operator deck ensures ease of movement, while the high-back suspension seat provides a smooth and comfortable ride, even during extended use.
Adjustable armrests and a tilt steering wheel cater to operators of all sizes, making this tractor accessible to everyone.
A redesigned instrument panel provides clear, intuitive access to all vital information, allowing you to stay in full control while operating the machine.
Unrivalled Versatility with Hydraulic Power
The BX231 is equipped with a hydraulically controlled Category I 3-point hitch and dual rear double-acting spool valves. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of implements, enhancing its ability to handle jobs such as tilling, landscaping, and hauling materials.
The tractor’s hydrostatic transmission (HST) provides smooth, seamless forward and reverse speed control, while cruise control helps maintain a consistent pace for mowing or travelling across larger areas.
Rugged, Durable Construction
Built with Kubota’s hallmark durability, the BX231 features a robust metal hood and fenders that resist dents and dings, ensuring it maintains its sleek appearance even after years of use.
With 213 mm of ground clearance, it can easily handle uneven terrain and obstacles without compromising stability or performance.
Safety and Ease of Use
The foldable ROPS (Rollover Protection Structure) allows for safe operation while enabling the tractor to fit into low-clearance spaces like garages or sheds.
Cruise control simplifies operation over long distances, while the ergonomic design ensures intuitive, fatigue-free handling.
The Ideal Tractor for Every Job
The Kubota BX231 is a true all-rounder, offering exceptional performance for tasks big and small. Its compact design, powerful diesel engine, and customisable deck options make it an indispensable tool for both professional landscapers and property owners.
Durable, reliable, and designed with operator comfort in mind, this compact tractor delivers the performance you need without compromise. With the BX231, you’re investing in a machine that will exceed expectations, time and time again.
