Kubota GL – compact standard tractors from Japan: a three-cylinder diesel of 1,494 cm³ and 22.2 kW, unladen weight 1,330 kg, length 2,950 mm
Kubota was founded in Osaka in 1890 and today ranks among the largest makers of small and compact tractors worldwide; the GL range stands for compact standard tractors in the lower power segment, of the kind Kubota traditionally builds for smallholdings, municipalities, horticultural operations, landscaping firms and export to Europe and North America. The GL models share a common chassis and drivetrain and differ mainly in implements, tyres and equipment detail.

The register lists here 6 versions with 22.2 kW from a three-cylinder engine of 1,494 cm³ displacement, an unladen weight of 1,330 kg, a length of 2,950 mm and a width of 1,280 mm.
Compact tractors such as the GL serve the segment between a single-axle walking tractor and a full-size field tractor: smallholding and farmyard work, mowing, municipal winter maintenance, nursery work and small-scale horticulture, where manoeuvrability and low weight matter more than drawbar power for heavy tillage.
On a used Kubota GL, the condition of the hydraulic pump and power take-off, engine hours and oil-change intervals of the diesel, rust on the chassis, wings and body panels, and the condition of tyres and axles all matter; thanks to Kubota's dense dealer network, spare parts are generally well available even for older compact models.

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.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
