TRANSMISSION

The Kubota GL-470 features a versatile 16-speed transmission system, providing farmers optimal torque and speed control for various applications, from tilling to transport. This extensive gear range enhances efficiency in both forward and reverse operations, making it suitable for diverse tasks including precise agri-works in confined spaces. However, users must be adept at gear management to fully leverage this capability, as improper selection may lead to reduced fuel efficiency or increased wear.

Gears 16 forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Kubota GL-470 features a 4x4 MFWD system, providing enhanced traction in varying soil conditions, ideal for both agricultural and utility tasks. Its power steering offers improved maneuverability, particularly beneficial in tight spaces or uneven terrains. The optional cab adds comfort and protection for operators, but may limit visibility compared to an open ROPS setup.
