TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Kubota KL28 tractor features a 20-speed or optional 30-speed transmission, allowing for precise control over various terrains and applications, which is advantageous for both fieldwork and transport. The diverse gear ratios enhance torque management and fuel efficiency, yet the complexity of a 30-speed transmission may pose a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-speed systems. In scenarios requiring versatile performance, such as varying crop conditions and load handling, the choice of transmission can significantly impact productivity and operational efficiency.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Kubota KL28 tractor features a 20-speed transmission with four gears in two ranges, complemented by a three-range shift system that enhances versatility in various working conditions. This setup allows operators to efficiently manage both low-speed tasks, such as tilling, and high-speed transport, optimizing productivity across diverse farming applications. However, mastering the gear shifting can be a challenge for inexperienced users, potentially leading to inefficiencies if not properly managed.
| Gears |
20 forward and reverse |
| Description |
Four gears (1-4) in two ranges with three-range shift (creeper, medium, and high-speed) |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Kubota KL28 tractor boasts a gearbox configuration offering 30 forward and 20 reverse gears, facilitating versatility in various agricultural tasks. The availability of only gears 1-8 in reverse limits high-speed maneuverability but enhances control in tight spaces with the creeper and medium ranges. Ideal for tasks requiring precision, such as tilling or planting, the gear limitations in reverse underscore the tractor's design focus on forward work efficiency.
| Gears |
30 forward and 20 reverse |
| Description |
Twelve gears in three ranges (creeper, medium, and high-speed) with shuttle shift. Only gears 1-8 available in reverse. In high-speed range only gears six forward and four reverse gears available |
MECHANICAL
The Kubota KL28 tractor features a robust 4x4 MFWD system, providing excellent traction and stability in challenging terrains, making it suitable for various agricultural applications. The mechanical wet disc brakes enhance wet-weather performance and reliability, although they may require more maintenance compared to hydraulic systems. The optional cab allows for extended comfort during prolonged use, while the 20-speed and 30-speed transmissions offer versatility in speed management for different working scenarios, aiding in productivity.

KUBOTA KL28 TIRES
The Kubota KL28 tractor features a robust ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) design and is equipped with ag tires, providing enhanced traction and stability for various agricultural tasks. The front tire sizes (7-16 and 11.2-26) facilitate maneuverability, while the rear 11.2-24 tires ensure a solid footprint in the field, essential for tilling and plowing operations. This configuration is advantageous for smaller plots or diverse terrains but may limit performance in heavily loaded or extreme conditions due to the relatively narrow tire design.
