TRANSMISSION 1
The Kubota KT20 tractor features a 12-speed transmission with forward and reverse gears, allowing for precise control across various work scenarios. The dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement but may require more frequent maintenance compared to hydraulic options. The four-range gear system (creeper, low, medium, high) facilitates versatility in tasks, from delicate operations to heavy hauling, making it suitable for both farm and construction environments.

TRANSMISSION 2
The Kubota KT20's Glideshift power shift transmission provides a total of 48 forward and 30 reverse gears, enabling precise control for various tasks. The ability to shift gears sequentially while in motion enhances operational efficiency, particularly in applications requiring frequent speed adjustments, though range shifts necessitate a complete stop, which may disrupt workflow. This design is advantageous for varied agricultural tasks but may present a learning curve for operators accustomed to traditional clutch systems.
