TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota KT250 features a 12-speed power shift transmission, which ensures smooth gear transitions and enhanced torque management. With a total of 48-speed options, operators can optimize performance for various terrains and load conditions, providing superior versatility and efficiency. However, the complexity may present a learning curve for those accustomed to simpler transmissions, potentially impacting operator productivity during initial use.

Description 12-speed 48-speed power shift

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota KT250's 12 forward and reverse gears, along with a dry disc clutch, provide optimal versatility for various field conditions, enabling precise speed control and efficient power transfer. The inclusion of three gears across four ranges (creeper, low, medium, high) with shuttle shift enhances maneuverability in tight spaces and improves productivity during tasks such as tilling and hauling. However, operators may face a learning curve due to the complexity of the shifting system, particularly in more demanding applications where rapid gear changes are required.

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 KT250 features a Glideshift power shift transmission, offering 48 forward and 30 reverse gears, which provides exceptional flexibility in various agricultural tasks. The ability to shift gears sequentially while in motion enhances operational efficiency, though the requirement to stop and engage the clutch for range shifts may hinder rapid response in dynamic farming scenarios. Overall, this transmission system allows for fine control, making it ideal for tasks requiring precise speed adjustments, like tilling or planting.

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 KT250 features a 4x4 MFWD chassis, enhancing traction and stability across varied terrains, making it suitable for agricultural and off-road applications. The power steering and wet disc brakes offer improved maneuverability and safety, especially in challenging conditions. The optional air-conditioned cab is a significant advantage for operator comfort during extended usage, while the transmission options provide versatility in speed and torque management.

KUBOTA KT250 TIRES

The Kubota KT250 tractor offers flexibility in tire selection, with standard front tires sized 6-14 and rear tires at 9.5-24, allowing for maneuverability in tight spaces. The optional tires, 7-14 in front and 11.2-24 in the rear, enhance traction and stability on uneven terrain, providing improved load distribution for heavier implements. However, upgrading to larger tires may affect the tractor's overall height and weight distribution, which should be considered for specific applications like row crop farming or hillside operations.
