TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota L3400 features a hydrostatic transmission that provides smooth and variable speed control, making it ideal for precision operations in tight spaces. With an 8-speed constant mesh design, it offers flexibility for varying tasks, but the hydrostatic system may require more maintenance than traditional gear setups. This tractor is well-suited for landscaping, small farming, and light industrial applications, providing both power and ease of use.

Description hydrostatic 8-speed constant mesh

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota L3400 features a hydrostatic transmission with infinite gear selection across three ranges, providing smooth operation for various tasks such as mowing or tilling without the need for clutching. Its oil capacity of 29.2 quarts (27.6 liters) ensures optimal lubrication for extended use, but may necessitate more frequent maintenance checks compared to competitors with larger capacities. Ideal for small to medium agricultural applications, this tractor offers ease of operation, though it may have limitations in heavy-duty scenarios due to its design focus on versatility.
