Kubota KB23X Tractor Specifications & Overview
Overview
The Kubota KB23X is a sub-compact utility tractor from the KB Kingbull Extra Series, produced between 2009 and 2014 for the Japanese domestic market.
As the upper model above the KB21X, the KB23X delivers the highest output in its class while preserving compact dimensions for orchards, greenhouses, and small farms.
With four-wheel drive, power steering, and an optional enclosed cab with air-conditioning, the KB23X combines power, comfort, and reliability—making it a strong candidate for export markets that demand durable tractors with low operating costs.
