KUBOTA FT240 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Kubota FT240 tractor is powered by a D1503 diesel engine with a displacement of 1.5L, offering a balance of performance with 23.7hp at 2600 RPM, ideal for compact farming tasks. Its compact 3-cylinder design provides good torque and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for small to medium agricultural operations. However, the relatively low power output may limit performance with larger implements, making it best for lighter-duty tasks such as tilling, mowing, or light hauling.

TRANSMISSION
The Kubota FT240 tractor features a versatile 12-speed transmission with a dry disc clutch, enabling smooth gear transitions and efficient power management. Its three-speed setup across four ranges (creeper, low, medium, high) with shuttle shift enhances maneuverability, making it ideal for diverse agricultural tasks, especially in tight spaces or varied terrain. However, operators should be aware of the potential learning curve associated with managing multiple gears and ranges to optimize performance effectively.
