Small Tractors for Sale Fairborn

Small Tractors with Enough Muscle for the Whole Property
Anyone sitting on a few acres knows the list never really ends. Brush to clear in spring, gravel to spread in summer, and a driveway that needs pushing open in February. Kubota tractors near Fairborn, OH, put all of that under one seat, and Jeff Schmitt Lawn & Motorsports keeps the full range of sizes in stock so you can compare them in person.
- Sub-compact and compact models run from 16.6 up to 48.4 gross engine horsepower.
- Hydrostatic and gear-drive transmissions let you match the machine to how you like to work.
- A side-by-side chart below compares the small tractor lines from both brands we carry.
We have been the Miami Valley’s outdoor equipment headquarters since 2007, and tractors have always been a big part of that. New and pre-owned machines, the implements that hang off the back, and factory-trained technicians on duty every business hour.
Kubota Tractors Sized for the Work near Fairborn, OH
The BX Series is where most first-time owners land. Four models cover 16.6 to 24.8 gross engine horsepower, with four-wheel drive and a two-range hydrostatic transmission, and each one stands under seven feet tall with the roll bar up, so it fits in a standard garage without folding anything down. The BX23S goes further as a dedicated tractor-loader-backhoe.
The jumps from there are gradual. The B01 Series covers 20.9 to 24.3 gross engine horsepower with three-range hydrostatic or gear drive, and the B2401DT Narrow squeezes under 36 inches wide for row work. The LX Series spans 23.3 to 39.8 gross engine horsepower in roll bar or cab form, and the Standard L Series tops the range at 24.8 to 48.4 horsepower. Browse the selection online, then sit in two or three back-to-back.

Loaders, Backhoes, and Everything That Bolts On
A tractor is only as useful as what you can hang on it, and this is where Kubota tractors separate themselves. Loaders are built in-house and matched to each chassis. The LA526 used on the L2502, L3302, and L3902 lifts up to 1,144 pounds at the pivot pin at full height, while the LA766 on the L4802 handles 1,675 pounds at the pin.
Time savings show up in how fast things come apart. The BX loader uses a single-lever hydraulic connection with flat-faced no-spill couplers, the B01 Swift-Tach loader detaches without tools, and 54- and 60-inch mower decks mount by driving right over them. Land Pride covers the rest, from box blades and pallet forks to post hole diggers and snow blowers.
Controls Built for Long Days in the Seat
Comfort sounds like a soft selling point until you have spent six hours grading a lane. The BX Series pairs a flat operating platform, tilt steering, and a deluxe seat with treadle pedals that swap forward and reverse without taking a hand off the wheel.
Ohio weather being what it is, traction matters as much as horsepower here. The LX Series rides on Goodyear R14 crossover tires with a hybrid tread built for snow, ice, turf, and mud, so the machine that mows in July still earns its keep in January.
New Holland Fills in the Rest of the Small Tractor Range
New Holland is the other small tractor line under our roof, and it gives shoppers a different feel to compare. The WORKMASTER 25S sub-compact delivers 24.7 max horsepower with 992 pounds of lift capacity and 17.2 PTO horsepower on a two-range hydrostatic transmission.
WORKMASTER compacts move up with a 12 x 12 synchronized shuttle or hydrostatic transmission and standard 540 rpm rear PTO, and the 35C and 40C reach 35 to 40 max horsepower with up to 2,067 pounds of lift. Boomer compacts top the family at 28 to 46.7 max horsepower and 2,756 pounds of lift. All of them carry the Boomer Guard 6 limited warranty, two years bumper-to-bumper plus four more on the powertrain.

A chart only takes you so far. The tractor that feels right is the one you can climb on, run a loader with, and picture parked in your own barn. That is the part we help with, and it is why folks drive past a couple of other dealers to get here.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy Kubota tractors near Fairborn, OH?
Jeff Schmitt Lawn & Motorsports carries the Kubota tractor lineup and serves property owners across the Miami Valley. We stock sub-compact and compact models along with the loaders, backhoes, and implements that go with them. Our sales team can walk you through the differences before you commit to anything.
What size tractor do I need for five acres?
Most five-acre properties are served well by a sub-compact or entry-level compact in the 20 to 30 horsepower range. If you are mostly mowing, grading a driveway, and moving mulch, a BX or B01 handles it without feeling oversized. Once heavier loader work, hauling, or a backhoe enters the picture, an LX or Standard L makes more sense.
What is the difference between a sub-compact and a compact tractor?
Sub-compacts are the smallest four-wheel-drive tractors, sized to fit through a standard garage door and handle jobs a lawn tractor cannot. Compacts are physically larger, carry more horsepower, and lift heavier loads at the front. The trade-off is turning radius and storage space, so the right pick usually comes down to how tight your working areas are.
Do you service tractors bought somewhere else?
Yes, we service tractors you bought somewhere else. Our factory-trained technicians handle scheduled maintenance, diagnostics, and major repairs, and we honor warranty work and recalls. We also offer free pickup and delivery within 20 miles for service jobs, which saves you the trouble of loading a trailer.
Can I trade in my current tractor?
Trade-ins are welcome at Jeff Schmitt Lawn & Motorsports. You can start with our online tools to get a value on your current machine, or bring it by and let our team look it over in person. Applying that value to a newer tractor often closes the gap faster than owners expect.
Do you offer financing on small tractors?
We do, and you can apply online before you ever visit. Parts, accessories, a service plan, and insurance can be rolled into the same contract, so everything lands on one monthly payment. Promotional rates come and go through the manufacturers, so ask our team what is running when you shop.
What tractor brands do you carry besides Kubota?
We also carry New Holland, including the WORKMASTER and Boomer compact tractor families. Land Pride fills in the implement side with box blades, quick hitches, rotary cutters, and more. Between those lines, we can build a package around almost any property size.
