Winter maintenance demands reliable equipment that can perform in difficult conditions. Ice, snow and freezing temperatures can quickly turn car parks, access roads and estates into safety risks if they are not managed properly.
The Kubota B2261 compact tractor is designed to tackle these challenges with power, manoeuvrability and versatility. With its robust diesel engine, four-wheel drive system and ability to run a range of winter maintenance attachments, the B2261 is an excellent choice for facilities teams responsible for keeping sites safe during the colder months.
Built for performance and control
At the heart of the Kubota B2261 is a dependable 1.3 litre, three cylinder Kubota diesel engine delivering 26 horsepower (19.1 kW). This provides the strength required to operate snow ploughs, salt spreaders and sweeping equipment while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency.
The tractor is available with either a three range hydrostatic transmission or a nine speed manual shuttle transmission, allowing operators to choose the configuration that best suits their working environment.
Four wheel drive comes as standard, giving the tractor the traction it needs to operate effectively on icy or uneven surfaces.
Exceptional manoeuvrability with Bi Speed Turn
One of the standout features of the Kubota B2261 is Kubota’s Bi Speed Turn technology.
When steering angles exceed a certain point, the front wheels rotate faster than the rear wheels. This significantly reduces the turning radius and allows the tractor to manoeuvre easily in tighter areas.
For winter maintenance teams working in car parks, residential estates, private roads and access routes, this agility can make a huge difference when clearing snow or spreading salt.
Designed for winter attachments
The Kubota B2261 is built to handle a wide variety of implements. Its Category 1 three point hitch provides an impressive lift capacity of up to 969 kg, allowing operators to run equipment such as snow ploughs, gritters, salt spreaders and other maintenance attachments.
An independent rear PTO operating at 540 rpm powers rear implements, while an optional mid PTO at 2,500 rpm allows the use of additional equipment.
Together, these systems make the B2261 a versatile year round machine that can quickly adapt to changing site requirements.
Strong hydraulic performance
Hydraulic power is essential when operating winter maintenance attachments, and the Kubota B2261 delivers reliable performance.
The hydraulic system provides a total flow of 32.9 litres per minute with an operating pressure of up to 2,347 psi. This ensures smooth operation when lifting, operating attachments or adjusting implements during use.
Comfort and operator safety
Winter work often means long hours in challenging weather conditions, so operator comfort is an important factor. The Kubota B2261 can be fitted with an integrated air conditioned cab for year round protection from the elements. Alternatively, it is available with a foldable ROPS frame for operators who prefer a more open configuration. The tractor is also designed with ease of maintenance in mind. Its one piece bonnet allows quick access to key components such as the radiator and battery, helping to reduce downtime and simplify servicing.
