Tap into your Kubota Equipment’s Full Potential
8/3/2026
Whether you own a Kubota BX Series, B Series, LX Series, or L Series tractor, chances are you've only scratched the surface of what your machine can do. Kubota builds these tractors with features that improve traction, increase productivity, and make loader work easier, but many owners never take advantage of them.
If you bought your tractor from us here at Stewart Martin Kubota, you already have one of the most versatile property maintenance machines on the market. Here are three features worth learning if you want to work faster and get better results.
Many Kubota compact tractors include foot-operated controls that improve traction when conditions get tough. Among of the most useful is the mechanical differential lock.
If one rear tire starts spinning in mud, sand, or loose gravel, engaging the differential lock sends power to both rear wheels, giving you improved traction. That extra traction can be the difference between driving out and getting stuck.
This feature is extremely useful but even moreso when:
On models like the Kubota BX2380, BX23S, LX2620, L2502, and L3902, the differential lock is easy to engage with your foot.
Loader float mode is one of the best and most overlooked features on a front-end loader.
When activated, the loader follows the contour of the ground instead of forcing the bucket downward. This in incredible for reducing wear
Float mode is ideal for:
Instead of digging into the surface, the bucket glides across it. The result is cleaner work and less damage to paved surfaces, lawns, and finished grades.
Kubota LA series loaders found on many BX, LX, B, and L Series tractors include float functionality as part of the hydraulic control valve.
If you want to expand what your tractor can do, adding a third hydraulic valve is one of the best upgrades available.
A third valve adds another hydraulic circuit to your loader, allowing you to operate hydraulic attachments with the push of a button.
Popular attachments include:
Stewart Martin Kubota carries genuine Kubota and Land Pride third function kits engineered specifically for Kubota tractors. These integrate cleanly with both ROPS and cab models and use factory-style controls for simple operation.
Kubota compact tractors are designed to handle far more than mowing or moving dirt.
With available horsepower ranging from around 16.6 HP on the BX Series to over 60 HP on larger Grand L models, PTO-driven implements, four-wheel drive, and hydraulic loaders, a single tractor can tackle work throughout the year.
Popular attachments for land management include:
The right selection of implements means you'll only need one machine, instead of several, which means you don't need to worry about storage or maintenance for a whole fleet.
Whether you're buying your first compact tractor or upgrading to a larger model, Stewart Martin Kubota carries the latest Kubota equipment along with genuine parts, attachments, and expert service.
Our team can help you compare features, choose the right attachments, and configure a machine that fits your property and workload.
