TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota GL201 tractor features a 16-speed gear and a 16-speed power shift transmission, enabling precise speed control and improved efficiency in various field applications. This dual transmission system allows operators to seamlessly transition between gears, enhancing productivity during tasks such as tilling or plowing. However, the complexity of the power shift may require additional operator training to optimize performance and avoid potential gear shifting issues.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota GL201 tractor features a robust 16-speed gear system that includes a creeper range for enhanced low-speed operations, ideal for precision tasks like tilling or planting. Its dry disc clutch provides reliable, low-maintenance operation; however, it may require higher foot pressure compared to hydraulic clutches. This gear configuration, combined with the shuttle shift capability, allows for efficient direction changes, making it advantageous for field work and maneuverability in tight spaces.

Description Four gears (1-4) in two ranges (low/high) with additional creeper range and shuttle shift

TRANSMISSION 2

The Kubota GL201 features a power shift transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears, allowing for smooth transitions and optimal speed selection for various tasks. This configuration enhances operational efficiency in diverse terrain and work conditions, making it suitable for both agricultural and industrial applications. However, the complexity of the power shift system may require more maintenance compared to standard gear transmissions.
