TRANSMISSION
The Kubota L1-28 tractor features a shuttle transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears, providing excellent versatility for various tasks. Its dry disc clutch facilitates smooth gear transitions, ideal for applications requiring frequent direction changes, such as loader work or maneuvering in confined spaces. However, the complexity of the gear system may require more operator training to maximize efficiency, especially for new users.

MECHANICAL
The Kubota L1-28 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD drivetrain, providing enhanced traction and stability on varied terrains, making it suitable for both agricultural and light industrial applications. The wet disc brakes offer improved stopping power and reduced maintenance compared to dry systems, while the 16-speed shuttle transmission allows for seamless directional shifts, optimizing productivity during operations. However, the open operator station may expose the driver to elements, which could impact comfort during extended use in adverse weather conditions.

KUBOTA L1-28 TIRES
The Kubota L1-28 tractor is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, offering versatility based on agricultural needs. The 2WD version with standard ag tires (5.00-15 front and 13.6-24 rear) is optimal for flatter terrain, enhancing fuel efficiency, while the 4WD variant (7-16 front and 13.6-24 rear) provides better traction and stability in varied, rugged conditions, making it suitable for diverse farming applications. A key consideration is the weight distribution and tire pressure, which can affect load capacity and overall performance, particularly in different soil types.
