TRANSMISSION

The Kubota B1200 tractor features unsynchronized gear transmission, allowing six forward and two reverse speeds, which enhances versatility for varied tasks. The unsynchronized design may result in higher wear during gear shifts, potentially impacting longevity under intensive use. However, this configuration can be advantageous for simpler operations, making it a suitable choice for light agricultural tasks or small property maintenance.

Gears 6 forward and 2 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Kubota B1200 tractor features a 4x2 and optional 4x4 MFWD configuration, enhancing traction and stability in varied terrain. Its manual steering provides simplicity and direct control, though it may require more effort in tight spaces compared to power steering options. The 6-speed unsynchronized gear transmission allows for versatility in speed ranges, making it suitable for both light agricultural tasks and maneuvering in confined areas; however, user skill is necessary for smooth gear transitions.
