TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota FT25 tractor features a 12-speed power shift transmission, providing precise control over a broad range of operating speeds and torque settings. This allows for enhanced maneuverability in various agricultural tasks while improving fuel efficiency and reducing operator fatigue. However, the complexity of a power shift system may require more maintenance compared to simpler transmission types, making it essential to stay on top of service schedules to ensure optimal performance.

Description 12-speed 48-speed power shift

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota FT25 tractor features a 12-speed gearbox with selectable forward and reverse, offering versatility for various applications such as tilling and hauling. The dry disc clutch enables smooth engagement and disengagement of power, enhancing control during operation. This tractor's three gears across four ranges, combined with shuttle shift capability, allows for precise speed adjustments and improved maneuverability in tight spaces.

Gears 12 forward and reverse
Clutch dry disc
Description Three gears (1-3) in four ranges (creeper, low, medium, high) with shuttle shift

TRANSMISSION 2

The Kubota FT25 tractor features a Glideshift power shift transmission, providing seamless gear changes with 48 forward and 30 reverse options, allowing precise speed adjustments. The ability to shift gears sequentially while in motion enhances operational efficiency, making it ideal for various field tasks; however, transitioning between ranges requires the tractor to be stationary and involves clutch engagement. This design strikes a balance between versatility and the need for operator attention, suitable for farming and loader applications where speed modulation is critical.

Transmission Glideshift
Type power shift
Gears 48 forward and 30 reverse
Description Sixteen gears (10 in reverse) with three ranges. Gears may be shifted sequentially while moving, without using the clutch. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to shift ranges

MECHANICAL

The Kubota FT25 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD system for enhanced traction and maneuverability, making it suitable for diverse terrains. Its power steering and wet disc brakes provide excellent control and stopping power, ensuring safety during operations. The optional air-conditioned cab adds comfort during prolonged use, while the 12-speed and 48-speed power shift transmissions allow for versatile speed adjustments to meet various farming scenarios.

KUBOTA FT25 TIRES

The Kubota FT25 tractor comes with standard agricultural tires sized 6-14 in the front and 9.5-24 in the rear, providing a balanced performance for general fieldwork. Upgrading to optional tires (7-14 front and 11.2-24 rear) enhances traction and stability, particularly in muddy or uneven terrain, allowing for improved load-carrying capacity. However, larger tires may reduce ground clearance and increase soil compaction, so the choice should be aligned with the specific operational environment and tasks.
