Description Hydro-mechanical CVT

TRANSMISSION 2

The Kubota KL58Z features a versatile three-range transmission, allowing for 30 forward and 20 reverse gears, enhancing maneuverability across varied terrains. Its configuration of twelve forward and eight reverse gears in creeper and medium ranges is ideal for precision tasks like towing and tilling, while the six forward and four reverse gears in high-speed range optimize efficiency for transport applications. The complexity of the transmission may require additional training for operators to fully exploit its capabilities, particularly in transitioning between ranges.
