Kubota B8200 Tractor Specs (1983-1990)

A compact Kubota utility tractor with diesel power and simple hydraulics. This reference links engine data, power, serial guidance, and parts resources to help buyers, owners, and restorers verify configuration and plan maintenance.

Kubota B8200 Overview

The Kubota B8200 is a compact tractor built for small farms and restoration work. Its 56.6 ci (0.9 L) diesel engine develops about 19 hp gross, delivering capable power for mowing, loader work, and routine chores in a tight package.

Open-center hydraulics keep implement control straightforward, and a rear PTO with a Category I hitch adds practical tooling for common tasks.

Manuals and test reports provide confidence for maintenance and parts decisions. Operator’s Manual covers B8200 E 2WD and B8200 D 4WD; the Parts Manual and Kubota Catalogue Part 2 give part numbers and cross references; Nebraska OECD testing information (NTTL) confirms official testing context. Serial range and configuration matter for the exact setup, so verify against your machine before ordering parts or performing service.

Parts Checks Before Ordering

Do not order Kubota B8200 parts from the model name alone. Match the part to the tractor's model code, serial range, engine, transmission, and PTO setup before ordering service parts.

Filters, fluids, belts, electrical parts, clutch and PTO parts, and hydraulic parts can vary by setup. Exact part numbers require a parts catalog, manual, or trusted supplier source.

Accuracy Note

Tractor specifications can vary by year, region, factory configuration, installed equipment, and later repairs. Match serial range, engine, transmission, PTO setup, and model code before ordering parts or doing service work.
