KUBOTA KL24R POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Kubota KL24R is equipped with a reliable D1503 diesel engine, providing 23.6 hp, making it suitable for light to moderate agricultural tasks. Its compact size (1.5L displacement) and efficient liquid cooling enhance durability and thermal management, minimizing overheating during extended operations. A potential challenge is the rated RPM of 2700, which may limit high-speed tasks but can offer enhanced torque for low-speed applications like tilling or hauling.

TRANSMISSION 4
The Kubota KL24R tractor features a versatile three-range transmission, comprising 30 forward and 20 reverse gears, enhancing its agility for diverse agricultural tasks. The availability of creeper and medium ranges allows for precision in low-speed operations, advantageous for tasks like tilling or planting, while the high-speed range optimizes productivity for transport or larger-area work. However, the complexity of such a gear arrangement may present a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-range systems.
