I saw it, but no one believes me

[B Gardner]

About eight years ago I saw a small 4 wheel drive Kubota tractor with a small rotor tiller on the back. This tractor was about 3 feet long, about 18 inches high, 2 cylinder diesel, had a tin seat and you straddled the steering wheel. I did not note the model, but I would sure like to know if anyone has seen something like this. Can anyone help me?
Thank you

Could it have been a b5100. http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/001/2/6/1266-kubota-b5100.html

Owner modified 2-wheel tractor?

Factory built?

The A-13 is about the smallest I know of.

Oh my I love that little A13! I need one! I have no use for it, but I absolutely need one of those in my life now! Lol

I think that was the first time that guy had ever been close to a tractor. Talk about dumping the clutch and gear hunting !

I would say a B6000

Hello
This tractor is none of the above mentioned. It has 4 wheels that are about 10 inches. The steering wheel is positioned between your legs. This is an old machine because the hood was cream colored. It was a real machine that was factory built. The total width was under 24 inches.
Thanks

Now you've got me chasing small tractors. These don't exactly match your description, but I find them interesting.

Not quite that small:

1974 Steiner

Gravely 2-wheel tractor with steering sulky?

Kubota's never had a cream colored hood that I've ever seen.

Thank you bcp
The machine was even smaller than the 1972 steiner and much lower.
It had tires like my troybuilt rotor tiller has.
And thank you very much for taking the effort to look.

I remember years ago seeing a tractor so small I thought to myself I could haul that in the bed of my truck. At the time I had a short bed Ranger. I have never seen another Kubota that small. At the time I had a B7100 and it seemed like a monster compared to this little machine. I was just a teenager at the time and I can't remember what the model was either. It was smaller than a B6100, I know that for sure. It probably was a B5100 like mentioned earlier.

I can and have put my tractor in the back of my truck.

The tractor is a B6000 and the truck is a Toyota Hilux with a 2.2 metre long bed.

Have to take the 3PT off to close the tailgate though.

Kubota did make some weird, complex and very expensive remote control diesel powered mowers that also had controls for manual operation.

Wonder if it could be one of those.

The idea was you sit in the shade operating it in a similar manner to an RC car. Don't think it would work for me. I am sure I would keep knocking things over like pot plants, pets and small children

Kubota AMX-3

And it has a cream hood.

Do I win the prize?

 

[bcp]

The Kubota KRT140 riding tiller is pretty small. Maybe an older version was smaller.

Probably an older one here:

A trench roller would be about the size the OP saw.

Some are ride-on.
