TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota KL225 tractor offers a choice of 16-speed or 24-speed transmission options, enabling optimized power delivery and enhanced operational flexibility across varied terrain. The 24-speed variant provides more precise control for tasks requiring varied speed adjustments, which can improve fuel efficiency and productivity. Challenges may include increased complexity in shifting for new operators, but the advantages of finer speed control often outweigh this con in professional farming scenarios.

Description 16-speed 24-speed

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota KL225 tractor features a 16-speed transmission, providing versatility for various tasks with four standard gears across two ranges, enhanced by a creeper range for low-speed maneuverability. The shuttle shift system allows for quick directional changes, which is advantageous for applications like loader work or tight space operations. However, operators should be familiar with the gear selection to avoid excessive wear during rapid changes, particularly in reverse.

Gears 16 forward and reverse
Description Four gears (1-4) in two ranges with additional creeper range and shuttle shift

TRANSMISSION 2

The Kubota KL225 features a 16-speed transmission with a shuttle shift system, allowing for precise control over speed and torque across various applications. The inclusion of both creeper and high ranges enhances its versatility, making it suitable for tasks requiring low-speed accuracy, such as tilling and planting, as well as higher-speed operations like hauling. A potential challenge may arise in mastering gear selection for optimal performance, particularly for inexperienced operators.

Gears 16 forward and reverse
Description Eight gears in two ranges (creeper and high) with shuttle shift

TRANSMISSION 3

The Kubota KL225 tractor features a versatile 24 forward and 16 reverse gear system, allowing for effective speed control in various applications. The inclusion of a shuttle shift enhances maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces, while the two-range transmission (creeper and high) provides versatility for tasks requiring different power and speed profiles. However, operators should note that the full 24-speed transmission is exclusive to cabin models, limiting options for non-cabin variants.

Gears 24 forward and 16 reverse
Description Twelve gears in two ranges (creeper and high) with shuttle shift. Only eight gears available in reverse. 24-speed transmission only on tractors with cabin

MECHANICAL

The Kubota KL225 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD chassis, providing excellent traction and stability in diverse terrains. Its mechanical wet disc brakes enhance safety and control during operation, while the 16-speed or optional 24-speed transmission offers flexibility and efficiency for various agricultural tasks. The two-post ROPS enhances operator safety, though an optional cab can improve comfort and all-weather protection.
