KUBOTA KL550 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Kubota KL550 is powered by the V2403 diesel engine, offering 54.3 hp at a rated RPM of 2700, which delivers robust performance for various agricultural applications. With a displacement of 2.4L and a bore/stroke ratio conducive to torque generation, this tractor excels in tasks requiring sustained power, such as plowing and towing. The electric starter system enhances reliability, though operating at higher RPMs may increase fuel consumption, presenting a potential trade-off for extended usage scenarios.

TRANSMISSION
The Kubota KL550 features a robust transmission with 30 forward and 20 reverse gears, enhancing versatility across varying field conditions. Its three-range system (creeper, medium, high-speed) allows precise control at different speeds, while the shuttle shift facilitates quick directional changes – ideal for applications requiring frequent maneuvering. However, the limitation of only eight available reverse gears may present challenges in certain scenarios, such as intensive tillage or lot clearing.
| 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 KL550 tractor features a robust 4x4 MFWD drivetrain, enhancing traction in various terrains, ideal for agricultural tasks. Its mechanical wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power during demanding operations, while the 30-speed transmission allows for precise speed control and adaptability to different field conditions. However, the complexity of a 30-speed system may require greater operator training to maximize efficiency.
