TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Kubota KT235 tractor features a 12-speed transmission, providing precision control for various field tasks, and a 48-speed powershift option for versatile speed management in different terrains. The advantage of the powershift is enhanced efficiency during operations such as plowing or tilling, allowing rapid response to changing load conditions. This tractor is ideal for medium to large farms, balancing power and maneuverability while facilitating smoother transitions between speeds.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Kubota KT235 features a 12-speed transmission with a dry disc clutch, providing versatile gear options for various applications. Its three gears across four ranges (creeper, low, medium, high) enhance torque management and efficiency in different terrains, enabling smooth transitions with the shuttle shift system. This configuration is advantageous for intensive tasks like tilling or hauling, but users must be mindful of the clutch wear from frequent engagement during high-load operations.

TRANSMISSION 2
The Kubota KT235 features a Glideshift power shift transmission with a total of 48 forward and 30 reverse gears, allowing for flexible speed adjustments to suit various applications. The ability to shift gears sequentially without clutching enhances operational efficiency, though operators must stop to change ranges, which may hinder rapid task transitions. This transmission design provides smoother power delivery and better control, making it ideal for tasks requiring precision, such as plowing or hauling.

KUBOTA KT235 TIRES
The Kubota KT235 tractor is equipped with standard agricultural tires that have a front size of 6-14 and rear size of 9.5-22, providing optimal traction for general farm work. The optional rear tire size of 9.5-24 can enhance flotation and stability on softer terrains, potentially reducing soil compaction. When selecting tire sizes, consider usage scenarios—standard tires may be more suited for hard, flat surfaces, while optional tires are advantageous for uneven or muddy fields.
