TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Kubota L3560 features an 8-speed synchronized shuttle transmission, providing efficient gear shifting for various field operations. The 12-speed hydrostatic option offers smoother, infinitely variable speed control, ideal for tasks requiring precise maneuvering, such as loader work or mowing. Pros include enhanced operator comfort and reduced fatigue, but a potential challenge may be higher maintenance costs for the hydrostatic system.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Kubota L3560 features a synchronized shuttle transmission with 8 forward and reverse gears, enhancing ease of operation and efficient gear changes during forward-reverse maneuvers. The mechanical dry disc clutch offers durability but may require more effort to operate compared to hydraulic systems, which could be a challenge in prolonged usage. This setup is ideal for tasks requiring precise control, such as loader work in confined spaces, where consistent speed modulation is critical.
