ENGINE DETAIL

The Kubota KL505 features a robust V2403 diesel engine with a displacement of 2.4L, providing 49.4hp at an efficient 2700 RPM, ideal for medium-duty agricultural tasks. Its electric starting system enhances usability, while the liquid-cooled design promotes thermal efficiency, reducing wear under continuous operation. A potential challenge may arise in terms of availability of parts for maintenance; therefore, regions with limited Kubota service support may face longer repair downtimes.

KUBOTA KL505 ENGINE

The Kubota KL505 tractor is powered by a 2.4L 4-cylinder diesel engine, which provides efficient fuel consumption and reliable torque for various agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 12.7 gallons (48.1 liters), it allows for extended operational hours between refills, making it suitable for larger fields. However, users should consider the engine performance relative to the weight and load of attachments to optimize performance during heavy-duty operations.

TRANSMISSION

The Kubota KL505's 30 forward and 20 reverse gears provide substantial versatility, catering to various operational scenarios, especially in agriculture and landscaping. The three-range system (creeper, medium, high-speed) allows precise speed control, though the limitation of only having the first eight gears available in reverse may hinder maneuverability in tight spaces. The shuttle shift enhances operator efficiency by facilitating quick gear changes, making it ideal for tasks requiring frequent direction changes.

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 KL505 tractor features a robust 4x4 MFWD configuration, enhancing traction and stability across varied terrains, making it ideal for both agricultural and construction tasks. Its power steering system improves maneuverability, while the mechanical wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, essential for safety in diverse operating conditions. With a 30-speed transmission, operators benefit from optimized speed control, facilitating efficient handling of various implements, particularly in precision tasks.
