KUBOTA KT24 ENGINE

The Kubota KT24 tractor features a robust 1.5L three-cylinder diesel engine, offering efficient power output suited for compact agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 7.4 gallons (28.0 liters), it allows for extended operation time, making it ideal for medium-duty farming scenarios without frequent refueling. However, the relatively small engine size may limit its towing capacity compared to larger models, potentially posing challenges for heavy-duty applications.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota KT24 tractor's 12-speed and 48-speed power shift transmission allows for versatile operation, enabling optimal torque management and efficiency across a variety of tasks. This multi-range capability enhances performance in both low- and high-speed settings, making it suitable for applications such as tilling, mowing, and hauling. However, operators may need to adjust their techniques for shifting to fully leverage the benefits of the power shift system, particularly in rugged terrain.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota KT24 features a 12-speed gear system with forward and reverse capabilities, providing versatility for various farming tasks. Its dry disc clutch enhances engagement efficiency but may require maintenance for optimal performance. The three gears across four ranges (creeper, low, medium, high) coupled with shuttle shifting allow for precise control, making it suitable for both heavy-duty and delicate applications.

Gears 12 forward and reverse
Clutch dry disc
Description Three gears (1-3) in four ranges (creeper, low, medium, high) with shuttle shift

TRANSMISSION 2

The Kubota KT24 features a Glideshift power shift transmission with a robust 48 forward and 30 reverse gear options, enhancing its versatility in various agricultural tasks. The ability to shift gears sequentially while in motion without engaging the clutch allows for efficient operation in dynamic field conditions, though range changes necessitate stopping and using the clutch, which may slow down operations during critical phases. This transmission design is advantageous for tasks requiring frequent speed adjustments, but the necessity of stopping to shift ranges could be a drawback in time-sensitive scenarios.

Transmission Glideshift
Type power shift
Gears 48 forward and 30 reverse
Description Sixteen gears (10 in reverse) with three ranges. Gears may be shifted sequentially while moving, without using the clutch. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to shift ranges

MECHANICAL

The Kubota KT24's 4x4 MFWD and power steering provide enhanced traction and maneuverability, making it ideal for varied terrain and tight spaces. The wet disc braking system offers superior stopping power and reduced wear, essential for safety during heavy loads or downhill operations. Optional air-conditioning in the cab can enhance operator comfort, particularly in extended working conditions, but may add to overall cost and maintenance considerations.

KUBOTA KT24 TIRES

The Kubota KT24 tractor utilizes standard agricultural tires sized 6-14 in the front and 9.5-22 in the rear, offering a balance of traction and stability suitable for medium-duty tasks. The optional 9.5-24 rear tires can enhance ground clearance and improve flotation in softer soils, making them advantageous for operations in muddy conditions or uneven terrain. However, switching to larger rear tires may affect the overall gear ratio, potentially reducing engine efficiency on hard surfaces.
