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.

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.
