KUBOTA KL460 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Kubota KL460 tractor features a robust V2403 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering 45.3 hp at a rated RPM of 2600, which ensures it can handle moderate to heavy agricultural tasks efficiently. Its 2.4L displacement and liquid cooling provide reliable performance and longevity but may require regular maintenance to avoid overheating issues in prolonged use. The 12-volt electric starter adds convenience for operation, though the overall power-to-weight ratio should be assessed for optimal performance in specific applications.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Kubota KL460 tractor features a 20-speed transmission, providing flexibility for various terrain and load conditions, while the option of a 30-speed transmission enhances its versatility and precision for more specific tasks. The 30-speed variant may offer finer control in speed adjustment, which can be advantageous for delicate operations like tilling or planting. However, selecting between the two options may depend on the user’s specific operational needs and preferences for complexity and handling.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Kubota KL460 tractor features an advanced 20-speed transmission, providing optimal versatility across various applications. Its four primary gears, combined with the two ranges and three-speed modes (creeper, medium, and high-speed), allow for precise control and adaptability in both heavy-duty and delicate tasks. This configuration enhances efficiency but may require a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-range shift systems.
| 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 KL460 tractor features a total of 30 forward and 20 reverse gears, providing versatile speed options with shuttle shift functionality for smooth directional changes. The twelve available gears categorized into creeper, medium, and high-speed ranges enhance adaptability for various agricultural tasks, though the limitation of reverse gears (only gears 1-8 in reverse) may restrict maneuverability in tighter spaces. This setup is advantageous for tasks requiring precision at low speeds, but operators should be mindful of the high-speed range constraints when reversing.
| 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 KL460 tractor features a robust 4x4 MFWD chassis, enhancing traction and stability in various field conditions, making it ideal for diverse agricultural tasks. Its power steering system improves maneuverability, while the mechanical wet disc brakes offer reliable stopping power under heavy loads—ideal for safety in demanding environments. The available 20-speed and optional 30-speed transmissions provide versatility in speed selection for efficient operation across different terrains.
