TRANSMISSION 1
The Kubota KL44Z tractor features a hydro-mechanical continuously-variable transmission (CVT), providing smooth operation across an infinite range of speeds within its two available ranges—enhancing operational flexibility. The dual drive system facilitates seamless transitions between forward and reverse, which is particularly advantageous in tight maneuvering scenarios. However, the dry disc clutch may present challenges in maintenance and requires careful monitoring to ensure optimal performance.
