TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota L2950 features an 8-speed mechanical shuttle transmission, which allows for quick direction changes and a variety of speed options, optimizing productivity during tasks like plowing or loading. This transmission system enhances control and reduces operator fatigue, making it ideal for both agricultural and construction applications. However, operators may need time to adjust to the mechanical shuttle compared to hydrostatic systems, especially in delicate maneuvers.

Description 8-speed mechanical shuttle 8-speed

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota L2950 features a synchronized mechanical shuttle transmission with 8 forward and reverse gears, allowing for efficient traction control and maneuverability. The requirement to stop the tractor for range shifting can hinder productivity in dynamic operations, while the option of a dual-stage clutch enhances versatility for both PTO applications at different RPMs. Operators should ensure familiarity with the gear-shifting mechanisms and clutch engagement to maximize performance and avoid operational delays.

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 12.4-24 rear tires. Reverse speeds are about 10% slower than forward

TRANSMISSION 2

The Kubota L2950 features a Glide Shift Transmission (GST), enabling smooth, on-the-go shifting without clutch engagement, enhancing operational efficiency in varied tasks. With 8 forward and reverse gears, operators can easily adapt to different terrain and conditions, although shifting must be done sequentially. The dry disc clutch requires regular maintenance to prevent wear, and the oil capacity of 28.5 quarts necessitates routine checks to ensure optimal transmission performance.

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 12.4-24 rear tires. Reverse speeds are about 20% slower than forward

MECHANICAL

The Kubota L2950 tractor features a versatile 4x2 2WD and an optional 4x4 MFWD configuration, allowing for increased traction in varied terrains. Its mechanical rear differential lock enhances traction during challenging tasks, while power steering and wet disc brakes provide improved control and safety. The 8-speed mechanical shuttle transmission offers efficient power transfer for both forward and reverse operations, making it suitable for farming and utility applications.
