TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota KB225 offers a 9-speed and 36-speed power shift transmission, enhancing operational versatility and efficiency for various farming tasks. The 36-speed allows for precise adjustments in speed and torque, making it ideal for tasks requiring specific power outputs like tilling or hauling. However, the complexity of the power shift system may require additional training for operators to maximize its benefits.

9-speed 36-speed power shift

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota KB225 tractor features a 9 forward and reverse gear system, allowing for versatile speed and torque management, crucial for various farming tasks. Its dry disc clutch offers efficient engagement while reducing wear compared to wet clutches, but can be less forgiving in heavy-load scenarios. The shuttle shift with three gear ranges provides quick transitions between forward and reverse, enhancing operational efficiency, particularly in tight spaces or during loader work.

Gears	9 forward and reverse
Clutch	dry disc
Description	Three gears (1-3) in three ranges with shuttle shift

TRANSMISSION 2

The Kubota KB225 tractor features a Glideshift power shift transmission with 36 forward and 24 reverse gears, enhancing versatility and responsiveness in various terrains. This sequential hydraulically-shifted system, requiring the tractor to be stopped and using the clutch for range shifts, offers precise control but may limit seamless operation during dynamic tasks. Ideal for tasks demanding varied speed and torque management, such as tillage or transport, it presents a balance between complexity and capacity for efficient farming operations.

Transmission	Glideshift
Type	power shift
Gears	36 forward and 24 reverse
Description	Sequential hydraulically-shifted transmission. Twelve forward gears with three ranges. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to shift ranges

MECHANICAL

The Kubota KB225 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction and stability in varied terrains, ideal for both agricultural and construction tasks. Its power steering provides ease of maneuverability, while the mechanical wet disc brakes offer reliable stopping power under heavy loads. The optional air-conditioned cab enhances operator comfort, making it suitable for extended use in challenging environments.
