Kubota LXe Series
In everyday life and industry, tractors are simply indispensable, and they are constantly updated and improved. The development across all areas of the tractor including the engine has been intense with huge reductions in emissions.
Product Information
Despite performance that is in all respects comparable with that of the model powered by the diesel engine, the driving experience could not be more different: the powerful starting torque, the smooth progression, the absence of shifting and vibration make driving extremely comfortable and relaxing. That - in the end - translates into greater productivity. In addition, the absence of exhaust emissions (CO2 emitted is zero) ensures maximum respect for the environment.
The “engine” in an electric tractor basically consists of a battery and an electric motor. The drainage or discharge of a battery (before recharge) depends on the draw or load requirement of the working operation. If the machine is doing heavy load work, then the battery will require a more frequent recharge as opposed to light or medium loading. The battery will only begin to discharge when under load so if the tractor is idling on the headland or stationary in a greenhouse, the battery will not be drained. One of the biggest challenges for the design engineers is how to replace a diesel engine and maintain the correct power-to-weight ratio, which is a key factor in any tractor. Kubota engineers have been able to successfully integrate the battery and still maintain the correct power-to-weight ratio.
Compact size
A well-designed compact tractor perfectly suited for working in narrow rows and restricted spaces. The Lxe-261 fully complies with European regulations and can legally operate on public highways
Helping the environment
Electrification has several advantages. Probably the biggest is the ability to work and emit zero grams of CO2
5-years warranty
Kubota stands by its statement of providing high quality, reliable produces with one of the best warranty periods on the market.
Operator comfort
A big benefit for the operator during work is the large reduction of noise and vibration compared to diesel engine machines. Enhanced comfort can translate into higher productivity
Reduced operating costs
Operating without the use of diesel fuel and no engine servicing significantly reduces the overall running costs
Good performance
The large capacity battery and quick charge facility allows work to be carried out during a 7-hour day*
* Work duration measured during tests carried out at the Paris City Hall parks
Rapid charge rate
It only takes one hour to charge the battery to 80% with a CHAdeMO-type fast charger. The vast majority of battery recharging can take place during the lunch break.
A full day’s work
The concept of the LXe-161 is to be able to work a full working 7-hour day* as can be offered by a diesel tractor of equivalent size. Each PTO is fully independent. Typical work would involve grass mowing all morning with a mid-mounted cutting deck and transport in the afternoon via a trailer.
*A CHAdeMO type charger is required to achieve this performance.
