    Kubota recently unveiled its newest compact tractor, the B2401, as the latest addition to the B01 series. The new tractor comes in two models, B2401DT and B2401DT Narrow, and joins the B2301 and B2601 introduced in 2019 when Kubota launched the B01 compact tractor series. The new models are available at dealerships now.

    About The B2401

    The B2401 models have gear drive transmission with nine forward and three reverse speeds, a 21.9-horsepower (16.3-kilowatt) diesel engine, and an ergonomic lever design for increased comfort and safety. The LA435 Swift-tach Loader and telescopic stabilizers on the 3-point hitch make it easy to attach implements. Like all B01-series tractors, the B2401 has Goodyear R14T crossover tires with a hybrid tread design to limit compaction and provide better traction. The B2401DT Narrow is 35.6 inches (900 millimeters) wide, making it a perfect fit for spraying and mowing in tight rows.

    Raising The Bar

    “Kubota established the B Series tractor line over 46 years ago, and today we are adding a gear drive transmission to the current lineup that raises the bar in power and productivity for the entire category,” says Kelcey Cockrell, Kubota product manager. “With this model, residential and professional operators alike will experience a new level of power and control, especially when operating front, mid, and rear implements.”
