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.

KUBOTA FT240 ENGINE

The Kubota FT240 features a 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering a balance of efficiency and power suitable for small to medium agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 7.4 gallons (28.0 L), it provides a reasonable range for extended work without frequent refueling, although heavy-duty use may require more frequent stops. Consider fuel economy and torque output when selecting implements, as this tractor may excel in light to moderate applications but could face challenges in more demanding scenarios.

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.

MECHANICAL

The Kubota FT240 features a 4x4 MFWD drivetrain, offering enhanced traction and stability, ideal for varied terrain conditions. Its 12-speed transmission allows for versatile speed selection, catering to various farming tasks while the power steering facilitates easier maneuverability. The optional air-conditioned cab offers increased comfort during extended operation, though the absence of a full cab may limit protection from the elements.
