TRANSMISSION

The Kubota FT220 tractor features a 12-speed transmission with a smooth dry disc clutch, facilitating efficient gear shifts for various field conditions. Its three gears across four ranges (creeper, low, medium, high) allow for precise control in both low-speed tasks and higher-speed applications, making it versatile for diverse agricultural operations. However, the complexity of the shuttle shift system may require additional operator training to maximize its potential in demanding scenarios.

MECHANICAL

The Kubota FT220's 4x4 MFWD system enhances traction and stability on diverse terrain, making it suitable for both agricultural and utility tasks. Its wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, ideal for heavier loads, while the optional air-conditioned cab ensures operator comfort in varying weather conditions. However, the 12-speed transmission may require familiarity for optimal performance, particularly in more demanding tasks.
