TRANSMISSION

The Kubota GB130 tractor features a gear transmission with 6 forward and 2 reverse options, providing precision control over various tasks. With three gears in two ranges, operators can optimize performance for specific applications, enhancing efficiency in both low and high-speed operations. However, the manual shifting may require a learning curve for new users accustomed to hydrostatic transmissions, particularly in challenging terrain scenarios.

MECHANICAL

The Kubota GB130 tractor features a robust 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction on uneven terrain, which is advantageous for agricultural tasks requiring mobility across diverse landscapes. The manual steering system may require more physical effort, particularly in tight maneuvers, while the mechanical wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power under various operating conditions but could necessitate more maintenance compared to hydraulic systems. The 6-speed gear transmission offers flexibility in speed selection, aiding in precise control during different field operations, though it may present a learning curve for operators accustomed to automatic systems.
