L225 Kubota
First Tractor
Model Year: 1974

Has a 4 foot FEL, and a 5 foot scraper. Bought it to do some landscaping on a 2 acres lot. Have not had it long, but have had to fix a few problems: one was a rusted rim due to the previous owner filling the wheels with ballast. Was able to repair the hole in the rim with JB Weld, and a piece of steal. So far the wheel has held. Worked pretty good moving a big pile of dirt. In the price range I was looking, it was either buy the Kubota, or an old Ford 1950 tractor.

Pros: Diesel engine.
Cons: A little aged.

L225 Kubota
L225DT
Model Year: 1972

I bought the used tractor to move small sawlogs and do light grading. It has a bucket and Cat-1 3 point with a box scraper and a blade. The hydraulic pump that was mounted on the front of the crankshaft had broken off and hydraulics were re-plumbed to operate off the 3 point pump. Shortly after acquiring, the bolts holding the front axle worked loose from the engine block. I had a neighbor mechanic make repairs by drilling and re-taping threads and adding more bolts where positioning pins were located. The repairs continue to hold and the tractor serves my purposes very well.

Pros: The tractor is small and maneuverable on the hillsides and trees and is well worth the investment.
Cons: And, as plumbed, the hydraulics are slow.

L225 Kubota
Best Money I've Spent on Yard Equipment
Model Year: 1974

We've done a lot of landscaping to our property over the past 18 yrs. Still it might sit idle for weeks or months with little use. It has always started right up and ran great. I would have liked a 4wd tractor, but this one was too good of a deal. I can't say enough about how well this tractor has performed.

Pros: Easy to work on.
Cons: Slow hydraulics.

L225 Kubota
Tired, but Running
Model Year: 1975

My tractor is a model L225DT of the 1970's era. I got it well used, but it is still running. The engine seems strong, but it growls and groans with age. It is equipped with a FEL and 5 foot blade. So far, it has done everything I have asked of it. The FEL pivot points are worn that allows it to shift back and forth when it is used. I need to replace bushings, if possible. This is my first tractor.

Pros: I like the size and power. Modifications in the hydraulics that have been made slow down operation of the FEL and blade.
Cons: The shaft driving the FEL pump has sheared. Plumbing was modified to use the pump for the 3 point equipment to drive the FEL.
