TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Kubota KT255 tractor features a 12-speed power shift transmission, providing smooth gear transitions and improved control in various operational scenarios. With its capability for optimized power management across 48 speeds, users can adjust to different field conditions efficiently, enhancing productivity. However, operators must be aware of the complexity of power shift systems, which may require additional maintenance and understanding to maximize functionality.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Kubota KT255 features a 12-speed transmission with both forward and reverse gears, providing versatility for various agricultural tasks. The dry disc clutch enhances reliability and offers smooth engagement, though it can be more challenging in terms of modulation under heavy load. The three-gear setup within four ranges (creeper to high) with shuttle shifting allows for fine-tuned control, ideal for both precision work in tight spaces and faster field operations.

TRANSMISSION 2
The Kubota KT255 features a Glideshift power shift transmission with a total of 48 forward and 30 reverse gears, offering significant versatility for various tasks. Its sequential shifting capability while in motion enhances operational efficiency, particularly in applications requiring quick adjustments. However, operators must stop the tractor and engage the clutch to shift ranges, which can slightly reduce productivity in certain scenarios.

MECHANICAL
The Kubota KT255 tractor features a robust 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction and stability across various terrains, beneficial for uneven agricultural landscapes. The 12-speed transmission provides versatility for different operational speeds, while the optional air-conditioned cab ensures operator comfort during extended use. However, the complexity of the 48-speed power shift may require skilled operation, potentially challenging for less experienced users.

KUBOTA KT255 TIRES
The Kubota KT255 tractor is equipped with standard ag tires (6-14 fronts and 9.5-24 rears), providing adequate traction for light to moderate applications. Opting for the larger optional ag tires (7-14 fronts and 11.2-24 rears) enhances ground contact and stability, beneficial in uneven terrains or heavy-duty tasks. However, the choice of tire size may affect turning radius and maneuverability in confined spaces, necessitating a balance between traction needs and operational efficiency.
