TRANSMISSION

The Kubota L355 tractor features an 8-speed forward and reverse transmission, providing versatility in speed and torque for various agricultural tasks. This gear selection enhances maneuverability and efficiency, making it suitable for both field work and transport. However, operators must be familiar with gear operation to maximize performance, especially in applications requiring precise control, such as plowing or towing.

Gears 8 forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Kubota L355 features a robust 4x4 MFWD configuration, enhancing traction and stability in varied terrains, making it ideal for both agricultural and landscaping applications. Its 8-speed transmission allows for smooth speed adjustments, optimizing performance for various tasks while potentially improving fuel efficiency. However, operators should be aware of the need for regular maintenance on the drivetrain to ensure longevity, especially in harsh conditions.
