TRANSMISSION
The Kubota GM49 features a 24-speed transmission, providing flexibility with eight forward and reverse gears across three ranges for optimal torque and speed management. This versatility enhances performance in various agricultural scenarios, allowing for efficient handling of different tasks such as tilling, hauling, or mowing. However, the complexity of the gear system may require additional operator training to leverage its full potential effectively.

MECHANICAL
The Kubota GM49 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD configuration, enhancing traction and stability on varied terrain, ideal for agricultural tasks in uneven fields. Its 24-speed transmission provides versatility in speed range, enabling precise control for different operations, though it may require a learning curve for optimal gear selection. The optional cab enhances operator comfort and protection, but the standard two-post ROPS limits weather protection, making it less suitable for extreme conditions without the cab.

KUBOTA GM49 TIRES
The Kubota GM49 tractor is equipped with agricultural tires, with front sizes of 8-18 and rear sizes of 13.6-28, providing a balance of traction and stability for diverse farming tasks. The larger rear tires enhance soil penetration and floatation, ideal for field work, while the standard fronts contribute to effective steering control. However, operators should note potential challenges with tight spaces due to the tractor's overall width when maneuvering in smaller fields or on narrow paths.
