Common questions
Kubota L2850 weight FAQ
How much does a Kubota L2850 weigh?
The Kubota L2850 weighs 2,790 lb (1,265 kg) using the published 4WD Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 2,480 to 4,580 lb (1,124 to 2,077 kg).
How much heavier is the 4WD Kubota L2850 than the 2WD model?
Published 2WD weight is 2,480 lb (1,125 kg), while published 4WD weight is 2,710–2,800 lb (1,229–1,270 kg). On a midpoint basis, the published 4WD configurations are about 275 lb heavier. Tires, transmission and other configuration differences can also affect the number.
What is the operating weight of the Kubota L2850 compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 2,790 lb (1,266 kg), versus 2,480–2,800 lb (1,125–1,270 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 310 lb (12.5%) more than shipping weight. Operating weight is generally the more useful starting point when estimating a ready-to-use tractor.
How much does the Kubota L2850 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 4,580 lb (2,077 kg). That is up to 2,100 lb (84.7%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Kubota L2850 a lightweight utility tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 29th percentile, lighter than roughly 71% of the utility tractor peers. That puts it in the light range for this comparison. It is 2,473 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 5,263 lb.
How wide is the Kubota L2850 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 53.9 in (4.5 ft). That is 48.1 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
