KUBOTA KL385 ENGINE
The Kubota KL385 features a robust 2.2L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing significant torque and fuel efficiency for various agricultural tasks. Its 10.6-gallon (40.1L) fuel tank allows for extended operational periods, reducing downtime for refueling. However, the compact size may limit its suitability for heavy-duty tasks compared to larger models, making it optimal for medium-duty applications like landscaping or light tillage.

TRANSMISSION
The Kubota KL385's 24 forward and 16 reverse gears provide versatile operational flexibility, with a notable advantage in maneuverability in tight spaces due to its shuttle shift feature. The dual-range system with a creeper option allows for precise speed control during sensitive tasks like tilling or planting. However, the limitation of only eight reverse gears may restrict its reverse versatility in certain applications, necessitating careful gear planning when operating in reverse.

KUBOTA KL385 TIRES
The Kubota KL385 tractor features standard agricultural tires with front dimensions of 8-18 and rear dimensions of 12.4-28, offering suitable traction and stability for field operations. This tire configuration enhances performance in soft soil conditions but may limit maneuverability in tighter spaces due to the larger rear tires. For optimal performance, consider evaluating soil type and crop row spacing to match the tractor's capabilities effectively.
