ENGINE DETAIL

The Kubota L2650 is powered by a 1.4L D1402-DI-AE diesel engine, providing a robust 29hp at 2600 RPM and torque of 65.8 lb-ft, making it suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. Its direct injection fuel system enhances efficiency and cold starting performance, though maintenance may require attention to the fuel system to prevent injector issues. The compact size and liquid-cooled design yield a practical balance between power and maneuverability, ideal for small to medium-sized operations, but users should be mindful of the limited coolant capacity when working in hotter environments.

KUBOTA L2650 ENGINE

The Kubota L2650 features a robust 1.4L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of fuel efficiency and torque suitable for various agricultural tasks. Its compact design enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, while the hydrostatic transmission offers smooth operation and easy speed adjustments, ideal for applications like loader work or mowing. However, consideration should be given to its limited horsepower compared to larger tractors if heavy-duty tasks are anticipated.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota L2650 tractor features an 8-speed mechanical shuttle transmission, allowing for seamless transitions between forward and reverse gears, enhancing operational efficiency in various tasks. This system provides precise control over speed and torque, making it ideal for applications such as tilling or hauling. However, operators may find the mechanical shuttle less intuitive than hydrostatic options, especially in applications requiring frequent directional changes.

Description 8-speed mechanical shuttle 8-speed

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota L2650 features a mechanical shuttle transmission, offering 8 forward and reverse gears across two ranges, which allows for versatile operation in various agricultural tasks. The synchronized shuttle shifting enhances ease of use, particularly for tasks requiring frequent directional changes, although it necessitates stopping to shift ranges, which could slow down work efficiency. The optional dual-stage clutch provides flexibility in PTO operations, facilitating both high and low-speed attachments, critical for optimizing implement performance based on the task at hand.

Type mechanical shuttle
Gears 8 forward and reverse
Description Four gears (1-4) in two ranges (Low-High) with left-hand reverser lever. Gears shifted with right-hand gear shift on the console. Ranges shifted with left-hand lever beside seat. Shuttle shifting is synchronized, using the clutch and at low engine RPMs. Tractor must be stopped to shift ranges. The transmission may be equipped with a dual-stage clutch. This can be identified if the PTO shift has 1000 RPMs on the left, and 540 RPMs on the right

SPEEDS 1

Description With 11.2-24 rear tires. Reverse speeds are about 10% slower than forward

TRANSMISSION 2

The Kubota L2650's Glide Shift Transmission (GST) enables seamless on-the-go gear changes, enhancing operator efficiency and reducing fatigue in varied field conditions. With 8 forward and reverse gears, it provides versatility for different tasks, while the dry disc clutch system's durability is suitable for farming applications. However, operators should be cautious to shift one gear at a time to prevent transmission strain, especially in challenging terrains.

Transmission Kubota Glide Shift
Gears 8 forward and reverse
Clutch dry disc
Oil capacity 28.5qts / 27.0L
Description Kubota Glide Shift (GST) allows for on-the-go shifting without using the clutch. Transmission should be shifted one gear at a time using the left-hand gear lever. Forward-reverse shuttle shifting may be done without the clutch

SPEEDS 2

Description With 11.2-24 rear tires. Reverse speeds are about 10% slower than forward

MECHANICAL

The Kubota L2650 offers a robust 4WD option for enhanced traction, while the mechanical rear differential lock provides improved performance in challenging terrain. Its 8-speed mechanical shuttle transmission allows for efficient speed control, making it versatile for various agricultural tasks. However, the power steering and wet disc brakes can improve operator comfort and safety, making it suitable for extended use in diverse farm scenarios, though limited to 2WD may reduce flexibility in specific ground conditions.

KUBOTA L2650 TIRES

The Kubota L2650 tractor's tire specifications differ for 2WD and 4WD, optimizing traction and stability according to operational needs. The 4.00-15 front tires on 2WD and 7-16 front tires on 4WD offer varying load capacities, while both configurations utilize the robust 11.2-24 rear tires for enhanced ground engagement. Key considerations include optimal tire selection based on terrain type—2WD is preferable for lighter tasks, while 4WD provides superior performance in uneven or challenging landscapes.
