TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Kubota GL240 tractor features a 16-speed gear transmission, enabling precise speed control for various farming applications. Its 16-speed power shift allows for smooth transitions between gears under load, enhancing productivity and reducing strain on the engine. While the extensive gear options provide versatility, operators may face a learning curve in mastering gear selection for optimal performance in different scenarios.
