KUBOTA GT-26 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Kubota GT-26 tractor is powered by a reliable D1503 diesel engine, providing 25.6 hp at a rated RPM of 2600, ideal for medium-duty agricultural tasks. With a compact displacement of 1.5L and liquid cooling, it offers efficient thermal management and fuel economy, but may face challenges in higher altitude operations due to reduced air density. Its electric starter system (12 volts) enhances reliability and ease of use, making it a suitable choice for small farm and landscaping applications.

KUBOTA GT-26 ENGINE
The Kubota GT-26 features a compact 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing efficient fuel consumption while delivering sufficient torque for small to medium agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 7.4 gallons (28.0 liters), it allows for extended operational durations, reducing downtime for refueling during tasks such as tilling or mowing. However, due to its smaller engine displacement, it may face challenges in heavy-duty applications where more power is required.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Kubota GT-26 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission with 12-speed capabilities, offering seamless speed adjustments and enhanced operator control for various agricultural tasks. This system allows for smooth transitions between speeds, reducing strain on the drivetrain and improving fuel efficiency during operation. However, the complexity of the hydrostatic system may pose challenges in maintenance and repair compared to traditional gear-driven systems.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Kubota GT-26 tractor features a total of 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, which provide versatile speed options suited for various tasks. The arrangement of three gears across four ranges, including a creeper option, enhances its adaptability for tasks requiring slow and deliberate control, such as tilling or precise maneuvering in tight spaces. A potential challenge may arise in mastering the multi-range shifting system, necessitating operator familiarity for optimal performance.

TRANSMISSION 2
The Kubota GT-26 features a hydrostatic transmission which allows for seamless speed control and ease of operation, ideal for tasks requiring precision such as mowing or light tilling. The infinite (3-range) forward and reverse gears enhance versatility, enabling optimal performance across various terrains and conditions. However, users should be aware that hydrostatic systems may require more maintenance than traditional gear transmissions over time.

MECHANICAL
The Kubota GT-26 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction and stability on uneven terrain, making it an excellent choice for agricultural applications requiring maneuverability. Its 12-speed hydrostatic transmission allows for precise speed control, which is beneficial for tasks such as tilling or mowing, though it may present a challenge for operators unfamiliar with hydrostatic systems. The two-post folding ROPS provides essential operator safety while still allowing for flexibility in low-clearance areas.

KUBOTA GT-26 TIRES
The Kubota GT-26 tractor, equipped with standard 6-14 front and 9.5-24 rear tires, offers excellent maneuverability and stability on soft agricultural terrains. Upgrading to the optional 7-14 front and 11.2-24 rear tires enhances load capacity and traction, particularly in muddy or uneven conditions, which may improve field performance. However, larger tires may slightly reduce speed and increase fuel consumption; careful consideration of the application and terrain is advised for optimal configuration.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Kubota GT-26's 59.1-inch wheelbase enhances stability during operation, especially in uneven terrain. Weighing between 2006 to 2094 pounds, it offers sufficient grounding for traction and reduces the risk of tipping over while performing tasks like mowing or tilling. However, the tire dimensions (front 6-14, rear 9.5-24) indicate a focus on maneuverability; while providing decent flotation, they may underperform in extremely soft or muddy fields.
