KUBOTA KT300 POWER

Engine 29.6hp / 22.1kW

ENGINE DETAIL

The Kubota KT300 features a compact D1503 diesel engine, delivering 29.6 hp at a low-rated 2700 RPM, which optimizes fuel efficiency for light to moderate agricultural tasks. Its well-balanced 1.5L displacement combined with a reliable electric starter system (12V) enhances operability and maintenance simplicity. Ideal for small farms, the tractor's efficient power-to-weight ratio may excel in maneuverability but might struggle with heavier load applications compared to larger models.

KUBOTA KT300 ENGINE

The Kubota KT300, equipped with a 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers a compact powertrain ideal for small to medium agricultural operations, balancing efficiency with longevity. Its 7.4-gallon (28L) fuel tank provides a reasonable operational range, suitable for extended tasks without frequent refueling. However, users should be mindful of fuel consumption rates under heavy loads, as this may necessitate more frequent stops in demanding scenarios.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota KT300 features a 12-speed gear system combined with a 48-speed power shift, providing versatile gear selection for various agricultural applications. This dual system allows for smooth transitions between speeds, enhancing operational efficiency and improving torque management during demanding tasks. However, the complexity of such a transmission could lead to increased maintenance requirements and operator training needs, particularly in demanding terrains.

Description 12-speed 48-speed power shift

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota KT300 features a 12-speed transmission with a dry disc clutch, providing seamless gear shifts for efficient operation across various terrains. Its three gears in four ranges allow for precise control, making it ideal for tasks requiring different levels of power and speed such as plowing or hauling. However, operators must be familiar with the shuttle shift mechanism to achieve optimal performance during transitions between forward and reverse operations.

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 KT300's Glideshift power shift transmission offers 48 forward and 30 reverse gears, enabling precise speed control across various tasks. The ability to shift gears sequentially without clutching while in motion enhances operational efficiency, especially during field work. However, one must stop and use the clutch for range changes, which could slow down transitioning between tasks if not managed effectively.

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 KT300's 4x4 MFWD chassis enhances traction and stability, making it suitable for varied terrains. Its power steering provides effortless maneuverability, while the wet disc brakes ensure reliable stopping power, especially in demanding conditions. The optional air-conditioned cab increases operator comfort during extended use, and the 12-speed or 48-speed power shift transmission offers versatility in both speed control and power application, accommodating diverse agricultural tasks efficiently.
