TRANSMISSION 1
The Kubota GL25 features a gear transmission system with 16 forward and reverse gears, providing versatile speed options for a variety of tasks. Its four gears in both low and high ranges, along with a creeper/field range shift, enable precise control for applications requiring delicate handling or increased torque, such as plowing or tilling. However, the complexity of the gear system may pose a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with manual transmissions, potentially affecting efficiency during the initial operation phases.
