KUBOTA KL380 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Kubota KL380 features a robust V2203 diesel engine with a displacement of 2.2L, delivering 37.4 hp at a rated RPM of 2600, making it suitable for moderate agricultural tasks such as tilling and hauling. Its efficient liquid-cooled system helps maintain optimal operating temperatures, enhancing longevity. However, with a power output of 37.4 hp, it may face challenges in heavier applications or slopes, where tractors with higher horsepower would be more effective.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Kubota KL380 tractor features a 20-speed transmission option for enhanced versatility in various agricultural applications, while the 30-speed variant provides even finer control across a broader range of operational speeds. The 30-speed transmission can offer improved efficiency during precision tasks such as tilling or planting, although it may introduce additional complexity in gear selection. Operators should consider the terrain and workload; the 20-speed is often sufficient for standard operations, while the 30-speed is more advantageous for specialized tasks requiring precise speed adjustments.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Kubota KL380 features a 20-speed transmission system, providing operators with versatile gear selection for various tasks, allowing for precise control in different terrain. The three-range shift system enhances operational efficiency, offering optimal torque in creeper mode for heavy-duty applications and high-speed gears for transport. However, the complexity of the transmission may pose challenges for less experienced operators who are not accustomed to multi-range gear shifting.
| 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 KL380 features a comprehensive 30 forward and 20 reverse gear configuration, enabling versatile operation across various terrains. Its three-range transmission—creeper, medium, and high-speed—allows for precise speed control, though reverse is limited to gears 1-8, constraining high-speed maneuvers in reverse. The gear setup is advantageous for tasks requiring varied speed, but operators must be mindful of the restricted reverse gearing in high-speed applications, particularly in tight or maneuverable scenarios.
| 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 KL380 features a robust 4x4 MFWD system, providing excellent traction in diverse terrains, ideal for agricultural tasks and challenging landscapes. Its power steering enhances maneuverability, while the mechanical wet disc brakes ensure reliable stopping performance, although maintenance may be more complex compared to hydraulic systems. With a choice between 20-speed and 30-speed transmissions, users can optimize performance for various applications, but the additional gears could increase complexity in operation for less experienced operators.

KUBOTA KL380 TIRES
The Kubota KL380 features standard agricultural tires measuring 8-18 in the front and 12.4-28 in the rear, providing optimal traction and stability for various farming applications. However, the tire size may limit performance in deeper soil or rugged terrains, necessitating off-road tire options for enhanced capability. For best results, ensure proper tire pressure and tread condition to maximize efficiency during field operations.
