TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota GT-19 features a 12-speed hydrostatic transmission, facilitating smooth acceleration and deceleration, ideal for various agricultural tasks and maneuvering in tight spaces. Its hydrostatic design allows for easy operation without the need for manual gear shifting, enhancing operator comfort and reducing fatigue during prolonged use. However, the complexity of the hydrostatic system may lead to higher maintenance costs and potential challenges in repair compared to traditional manual transmissions.

Description 12-speed hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota GT-19 features a 12 forward and 4 reverse gear system, providing versatility for various terrains and tasks. Its design allows operation in creeper mode, enabling precise control for applications like tilling or landscaping in tight spaces. However, users may need to adapt to the multi-range shifting for optimal performance, as frequent gear changes could impact efficiency during extended use.

Gears 12 forward and 4 reverse
Description Three gears (1-3), plus reverse, in four ranges (creeper and 1-3)

TRANSMISSION 2

The Kubota GT-19 tractor features a hydrostatic drive system, offering smooth, infinite speed control across three forward and reverse ranges, ideal for precise maneuverability during various tasks. This design enhances user comfort and reduces operator fatigue, making it suitable for applications like gardening or small-scale farming. However, hydrostatic systems may require more maintenance compared to conventional gear systems, potentially increasing long-term costs.

Gears infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Kubota GT-19 features a 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front-Wheel Drive) chassis, enhancing traction and stability in diverse terrains, ideal for agricultural tasks and landscaping. Its 12-speed hydrostatic transmission provides seamless speed adjustments, allowing for precision control during operations, particularly beneficial in tasks requiring varying speeds like mowing or tilling. However, the two-post folding ROPS may limit overhead protection compared to a full cab, which could be a consideration for safety in uneven or challenging environments.

KUBOTA GT-19 TIRES

The Kubota GT-19 tractor features standard AG tires with front dimensions of 6-12 and rear at 8.3-22, optimizing traction and stability for various terrains. An optional upgrade to 6-14 in the front and 8.3-24 in the rear enhances ground contact area and load capacity, improving performance in heavier-duty applications. However, larger tires may affect maneuverability and overall weight distribution; thus, consider the specific farming tasks to select the appropriate tire size.
