EK1 SERIES TRACTOR
EK1-221 / EK1-261
EK
For users looking for a simple but powerful tractor, the EK range tractors are a great choice. Thanks to their versatility, they can be used for a wide variety of tasks where reliability and robustness make a winning combination.
Power and versatility make Escorts-Kubota EK1-261 and EK1-221 the ideal tractors for light work and PTO applications such as mowing, landscaping, light soil, and municipal work. Depending on the application, the tractors are available with agricultural, turf and industrial tyres.
EASY · RELIABLE · POWERFUL
Powerful performance
The 3-cylinder diesel engine of the EK1 ensures reliable performance even under demanding conditions. Easy maintenance also contributes to the tractor’s impressive productivity.
#Engine
#Transmission
Shifting gear while driving
The tractors are equipped with a constant mesh transmission system featuring nine forward and three reverse gears, which allows gear changes while driving. Thanks to the three-ranges transmission, there is no risk of torque overload of the transmission during operation.
Application-specific speeds
Shifting gears is easy. The ergonomic shift levers on the sides provide additional support for easy shifting. With a maximum speed of 20.2 km/h and a minimum speed of 1.0 km/h the tractor provides a range of speeds that is perfectly suited to its tasks. The PTO equipment provides speeds of 540 and 540 ECO rpm.
Switchable all-wheel drive
The tractor features a 4-wheel-drive which can be engaged via a lever. The differential lock is operated by pedal. The oil-immersed brakes and the independent parking brake ensure a high level of protection.
Shift as required
The tractor’s mechanical transmission is easy to shift, even while driving in the same range. The transmission ratio is graded according to the type of application.
Optimally positioned operating levers
The operating levers on the right and left of the driver are logically arranged and ergonomically positioned. Thanks to colour coding, the levers can be identified easily and without confusion. This makes them simple to find and easy to grip – a real comfort benefit during work and driving. The levers do not obstruct access to the driver’s seat
#Working comfort
A great place
to work
The EK1 prove that there is no need to compromise on comfort even with a tractor in this segment. Ergonomically positioned operating levers, a weight-adjustable operator’s seat and useful details all help to ensure productive work.
Small details make the difference
The tractor also features useful details that make it even easier to operate. Thanks to the charging socket with mobile phone holder, you also have a practical charging station for your mobile phone on board.
Enhanced safety
Both horizontal travel and suspension can be adjusted to suit the weight of the operator. This results in reduced fatigue. A sensor registers the presence of the operator. If he or she is absent, the engine is automatically switched off after 10 seconds. To avoid the tractor to stop when working with the stationary PTO, just engage the stationary PTO switch.
#Hydraulics
A gripping nature
The rear lifting system of the EK1 range tractors is characterised by its impressive lifting capacity and stable design. The standard double-acting valve enables a wide range of applications.
Thanks to its compact dimensions, the tractor can also be used where space is limited. In places with height restrictions, the roll-over protective structure can be quickly and easily folded down to allow access.

Talking about easy maintenance, this is also ensured by the one-piece cowling, which allows quick access to the maintenance points on the engine without tools. At the same time, the large radiator grille provides good airflow to the radiator, easy to remove and blow.
Robust, reliable engine
Extremely easy to maintain
The robust 3-cylinder 24 hp and 21 hp Stage V diesel engines from Mitsubishi are water-cooled and feature swirl chamber injection that sucks in air through the air filter. The high-quality dry air filter ensures maximum performance and superior fuel efficiency. A sensor indicates when the air filter needs cleaning, simplifying maintenance.
Robust, reliable engine
Extremely easy to maintain
You can easily and intuitively operate the powerful category 1 N three-point rear linkage. Precise draft and position control enables efficient management of the attachments. With a maximum lifting capacity of 800 kg, even heavy implements can be lifted with ease. The lower links are easy to adjust.
Double-acting valve
High-performance rear power lift
The EK1-261 has an open-centre hydraulic system and is equipped as standard with a double-acting valve. The fixed displacement pump for the auxiliary oil flow has a delivery rate of 20 l/min.
