TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota FT300’s 12-speed and 48-speed power shift transmission provides enhanced versatility for various applications, allowing seamless speed adjustments to maximize engine efficiency under different load conditions. Its power shift capability minimizes speed loss during gear changes, improving productivity on varied terrains; however, it may require additional operator training to master shifting techniques effectively. Optimal scenarios for the FT300 would include intensive agricultural tasks or commercial landscaping, where both speed modulation and torque are crucial.

Description 12-speed 48-speed power shift

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota FT300 features a 12-speed transmission with a dry disc clutch, allowing for precise control in various terrains and applications. Its three gears across four ranges (creeper, low, medium, high) paired with the shuttle shift enhances versatility for tasks requiring gradual acceleration or rapid directional changes. This setup is advantageous for both agricultural and industrial use, but operators may need to acclimate to the complexity of shifting through multiple ranges effectively.

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 FT300 features a Glideshift power shift transmission with a total of 48 forward and 30 reverse gears, allowing for efficient operation across varied terrains. The ability to shift gears sequentially while in motion is an advantage for maintaining momentum during field tasks; however, range shifts require a complete stop and clutch use, which may interrupt workflow. This transmission system is ideal for applications needing precise speed control, such as tillage or transport, but operators should plan their shifts to minimize downtime.

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 FT300 features a robust 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction and stability on varied terrains, ideal for both agricultural and construction applications. Its power steering and wet disc brakes provide superior maneuverability and stopping efficiency, contributing to operator safety and comfort. The available 12-speed or 48-speed power shift transmission allows for versatile speed management, which can significantly improve productivity in field operations.
