Kubota B5000 4WD Compact Tractor with Rotary Tiller Ultra-Compact Diesel Powerhouse; Versatile 4×4 for Gardening and Small-Acreage Management Location: Richmond Hill Manufacturer: Kubota Model: B5000 Engine: Kubota 0.5L 2-Cylinder Liquid-Cooled Diesel

Technical Specifications:

• Drive: 4WD (4×4) Mechanical Front Wheel Drive

• Horsepower: approx. 9–10 Engine HP

• Transmission: 6 Forward / 2 Reverse Gear Drive

• PTO: 2-Speed Rear PTO (Optional 3-speed configuration)

• Steering: Manual

• Attachment: Included matching rear-mount Rotary Tiller (approx. 35–40 inch width)

• Cooling: Liquid-cooled for extended run times in hot conditions

Key Features:

• Proven 2-Cylinder Diesel Engine: Powered by Kubota’s legendary small-displacement diesel, known for exceptional fuel economy, easy cold-weather starting (with glow plugs), and long-term mechanical simplicity.

• True 4WD Capability: The mechanical 4×4 system provides significant traction advantages in loose garden soil or muddy conditions, allowing this small frame to punch well above its weight class.

• Included Rotary Tiller: Comes complete with a matched Kubota tiller, making this a “ready-to-work” package for vegetable gardens, food plots, or landscaping seedbed preparation.

• Compact Maneuverability: With a narrow footprint and short wheelbase, the B5000 can navigate tight greenhouse aisles, small orchards, and backyard gates where larger tractors cannot reach.

Ideal for: The serious home gardener, hobby farmer, or small-estate owner who needs more power than a walk-behind tiller can provide. Its 4WD system and high-torque diesel engine make it perfect for primary tillage in established gardens, maintaining woodlots, or light-duty snow clearing. It is an excellent choice for a buyer who appreciates classic Japanese engineering and wants a machine that is easy to trailer and easy to store.

The Kubota Advantage: Kubota is the global benchmark for compact tractors, having pioneered the market in the 1960s and 70s. The B5000 belongs to a lineage of tractors celebrated for their “over-built” internal components and bulletproof reliability. Unlike modern plastic-heavy alternatives, these Waterloo-era-style Japanese builds feature cast-iron housings and robust gear-driven transmissions that are designed to last for generations with simple routine maintenance.

Note: The unit is reported to run and work well. As a vintage compact tractor, it features a 2-point or specialized 3-point hitch common to Japanese market models of this era—please verify hitch compatibility for future non-Kubota implements.
