TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Kubota KL360 offers a choice between 16-speed and 24-speed transmission options, enhancing versatility and allowing for precise speed control in various agricultural tasks. The 24-speed variant provides additional torque management for more challenging terrains, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. However, the complexity of the 24-speed system may require more maintenance and operator training compared to the simpler 16-speed model.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Kubota KL360 tractor's 16 forward and reverse gears, along with a creeper range, enable precise speed control for varied field conditions. The shuttle shift feature enhances operational efficiency by allowing seamless direction changes without clutch engagement. However, managing multiple gears may require a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with complex transmission systems, making it ideal for tasks demanding versatility, such as tilling or hauling in tight spaces.
| Gears |
16 forward and reverse |
| Description |
Four gears (1-4) in two ranges with additional creeper range and shuttle shift |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Kubota KL360 tractor features a versatile transmission system with 24 forward and 16 reverse gears, enabling precise speed adjustments for various tasks. The inclusion of a creeper range enhances low-speed control for applications such as tilling or planting, while the shuttle shift allows for efficient direction changes without clutch use, improving productivity. However, the limitation of only eight reverse gears may pose challenges in scenarios requiring extensive backward operations, such as maneuvering in tight spaces.
| 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 KL360 tractor features a robust 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction and stability on uneven terrain. Its mechanical wet disc brakes offer reliability in braking performance, although they may require more maintenance compared to hydraulic systems. The optional cab provides comfort and protection for operators, making the tractor suitable for extended fieldwork, while the 16 or 24-speed transmission allows for versatile speed control, accommodating various agricultural tasks.
