Kubota L225 Compact Utility Tractor
🚜 Overview
The Kubota L225 is a compact utility tractor produced by Kubota from 1974 to 1976 in Japan. As an evolution of the earlier L-series models, the L225 introduced improved power output and a 3-cylinder diesel engine for smoother operation and increased efficiency.
In 1976, the original price of the L225DT (4WD) was approximately USD 4,500, offering strong value for small and medium-scale farms.
Since 2006, EVERY FARM TRACTOR has exported Japanese tractors worldwide, and the Kubota L225 remains popular in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean.
