TRANSMISSION

The Kubota GL26 tractor features a power shift transmission with 16 total gears (eight forward and eight reverse), enhancing versatility in various field conditions. The inclusion of a shuttle mechanism allows for smoother direction changes, beneficial for tasks requiring quick maneuverability, such as loader operations. However, operators may face a learning curve due to the complexity of managing multiple gear selections efficiently.

Gears 16 forward and reverse
Description Eight power shift gears in two ranges with shuttle

MECHANICAL

The Kubota GL26 features a robust 4x4 MFWD drivetrain, enhancing traction and stability across various terrains, making it suitable for both agricultural and utility applications. Its power steering provides excellent maneuverability, particularly beneficial in tight areas, while the 16-speed power shift transmission allows for optimal speed control and efficiency in varying workloads. However, the mechanical wet disc brakes may require more maintenance compared to hydraulic systems, so regular checks are essential for safety and performance.
