Kubota L4100: water-cooled four-cylinder diesel with 31 kW and a 24 km/h top speed for compact all-purpose farm and orchard work
Kubota's L series comprises compact all-purpose tractors for smaller and medium-sized operations, orchards and municipal service. The L4100, with four cylinders, sits at the upper end of this power class, above the three-cylinder models that dominate the smaller end of the same range.

The L4100 is powered by a water-cooled four-cylinder diesel engine of 2,197 cm³ displacement, delivering 31 kW, or 42 hp. At a kerb weight of 1,464 kg, the tractor is 3,305 mm long, 1,490 mm wide and 2,525 mm high, with a wheelbase of 1,845 mm. Its design top speed is 24 km/h.
At a top speed of 24 km/h, the L4100 falls into driving licence category L. The four-cylinder engine runs more smoothly than two- or three-cylinder units, making it more pleasant for extended work with a front loader, mower or rotary tiller. At around 1.5 tonnes kerb weight, ground pressure remains moderate for use on more sensitive land, and the four cylinders keep running smoothly even under light load.
When buying a used four-cylinder compact tractor of this size, it is worth checking the hydraulic pump's delivery, the injectors for even starting behaviour, and the gearbox for shifting noises. Rust on the front fenders and on the frame beneath the battery is a common weak point in this size class and should be checked specifically. The mounting points for a front loader or mower also deserve a look for cracking, since they carry extra stress when implements are swapped frequently.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
