MECHANICAL

The Kubota GB140 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD system, offering enhanced traction over varied terrains, ideal for agricultural tasks requiring stability. Its manual steering can be challenging during prolonged operations, especially in tight spaces, while the mechanical wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power but may require more maintenance compared to hydraulic systems. The 6-speed gear transmission allows for versatile speed adjustment, making it suitable for different field conditions; however, it may limit ease of use compared to modern hydrostatic alternatives.
