TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota KL36 tractor is equipped with a versatile 16-speed and an upgraded 24-speed transmission option, facilitating enhanced torque management and operational flexibility across various terrains. This multiven speed configuration allows for optimal speed matching to specific tasks, improving fuel efficiency and productivity. However, operators may face a learning curve with the complexity of shift patterns, especially in demanding applications.

Description 16-speed 24-speed

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota KL36 tractor features a robust transmission system with 16 forward and reverse gears, providing versatile operation for various tasks. The inclusion of a creeper range allows for precise control at low speeds, ideal for applications such as landscaping or tilling, while the shuttle shift enhances ease of operation during loader work or tight maneuvering. However, managing a complex gear system may require more operator skill, presenting a learning curve for less experienced users.

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

TRANSMISSION 2

The Kubota KL36 features a 24 forward and 16 reverse gear configuration, enabling fine control for various tasks. Its creeper range allows for low-speed precision during operations such as tilling or mowing, while the shuttle shift facilitates quick direction changes without clutching, enhancing productivity. However, with only eight reverse gears, maneuverability in reverse may be somewhat limited in specific applications.

Gears 24 forward and 16 reverse
Description Twelve gears in two ranges (creeper and high) with shuttle shift. Only eight gears available in reverse

MECHANICAL

The Kubota KL36 features a robust 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction on varied terrain, making it ideal for agricultural and heavy-duty tasks. Its power steering reduces operator fatigue, while the optional cab offers improved comfort in adverse weather. The availability of 16-speed or 24-speed transmissions allows for versatile speed control, although operators may face a learning curve with the more complex 24-speed setup.
