TRANSMISSION

The Kubota JB13X tractor features a total of 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, providing versatility for various terrain and task requirements. Its dry disc clutch ensures efficient power transfer but may lead to higher wear compared to wet clutches in high-load scenarios. Ideal for small to medium agricultural tasks, operators may appreciate the ease of shifting through its three gears across two ranges, though attention to clutch maintenance is necessary for longevity.
