Kubota B26
The Kubota B26 utility tractor is from the TLB series of tractors from Kubota. The tractor itself has a gross power output of 26 hp. This is a 3 cylinder diesel engine that has a rated speed of 2800 rpm. The engine has a displacement of 1.123 liters. The fuel tank that supplies the engine with diesel has the capacity to hold up to 31 liters (8.2 US gallons). This engine powers the wheels through a HST hydrostatic transmission. This hydrostatic transmission gives the B26 infinite speeds of 3 different ranges (Hi, Med and Lo). In Hi gear, the tractor has a top speed of 17.8 kph (11.1 mph).
The engine on the Kubota B26 also powers the hydraulics system. The hydraulics on this utility tractor have a maximum pump capacity of 42.3 liters/min (11.2 US gallons per minute). This system powers the rear 3 point hitch (category 1). It gives the rear hitch a maximum safe lifting capacity of 760 kg (1676 lbs). A backhoe can be attached to the rear of the B 26. This backhoe has a max digging force of 4211 lbs. The total width of the backhoe 1.37 m (53.7 inches). It has a max loading height of 1.96 m (77.3 inches). A front end loader can be attached to the tractor too. This loader has a maximum lifting capacity of 590 kg (1300 lbs). The total weight of the loader on it’s own comes to 285 kg (628 lbs).
The Kubota B26 comes with a 4 post roll bar system (ROPS) to help protect the operator in the off chance that the tracotr tips over. Similar models to this one in the TLB series include the Kubota L39 utility tractor. The B26 is a very useful and handy utility tractor. However the one drawback it that it’s not particularly powerful.

We love this little tractor. Easy to use particularly with novice operators. Easy to remove front bucket for mowing. Stable and powerful on our hilly farm. Great cleanup for brush and trees. Have bigger tractors but this one is easy to use. Backhoe is easy to take on and off. 3pt mods make using rear attachments much easier. I can pick up a pencil with the front grapple making brush cleanup easy. The cost is high but averaged over the next 20 years of being able to take care of our property safely is very reasonable.
Weak 3pt adjustment.
No parking brake indicator.
Weak Armor on front end.
No tool box.
Wicked grapple for FEL.
Danuser Termiidator grapple
6′ finish mower 3pt
4′ bushhog
6′ graderblade
2″ rear wheel extensions.
Ballast in rear tires.
Pat’s QA hooks for 3pt hitch, pin adjust sway bars, leveling box.
Grooved R4 tires to improve traction
Parking brake indicator light, custom.
Increased armor on front end for brush and limbs.
Tool box.
Fire Extinguisher.
Still need to fab a skid plate to protect underbelly.
Awful experience with dealer and Kubota representatives
This is not your large project land excavator , how ever for the land owner like myself and even a commercial landscape and irrigation company the B26 is actually for its size and class quite the little work horse and like I mentioned before its size gives the B26 the ability to get in and out of where a big backhoe can not but yet is able to do a big bunch of work saving your Back and your Sack . I now close my review with no negative feed back aside of my personal quirks .
