TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Kubota L3650 features an 8-speed mechanical shuttle transmission, facilitating smooth shifts for efficient operation in various field conditions. This system allows for quick direction changes, improving productivity during tasks like plowing and tilling. However, operators may face a learning curve when adapting to mechanical shuttles compared to more advanced hydrostatic options, particularly in precision tasks.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Kubota L3650 features a mechanical shuttle transmission with 8 forward and reverse gears, allowing for efficient control during various tasks. The synchronized shuttle shifting enhances operational versatility, but requires the tractor to be stationary when changing ranges, which may slow down transitions during work. A dual-stage clutch option can enhance PTO operation (540 RPM) for attachments, providing optimal power management but may demand increased operator familiarity.
| 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 is engaged (540 RPMs) to the right. |
SPEEDS 1
| Description | With 13.6-26 rear tires. Reverse speeds are about 10% slower than forward./ |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Kubota L3650's Glide Shift transmission enables seamless, on-the-go gear changes, enhancing operational efficiency by allowing gear shifts without clutch engagement. With 8 forward and reverse gears, it offers versatility for various agricultural tasks, although the necessity to shift one gear at a time can be a minor inconvenience in some scenarios. The dry disc clutch design contributes to lower maintenance needs, but operators should ensure proper oil levels, given the 28.5 qt capacity, to maintain optimal performance.

| 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. |

MECHANICAL
The Kubota L3650 tractor offers a robust 4x4 MFWD option, enhancing traction in diverse terrains, particularly beneficial in agricultural applications requiring maneuverability in muddy or uneven ground. The mechanical rear differential lock provides improved stability and power distribution during challenging conditions, while wet disc brakes ensure reliable stopping even under load, enhancing safety. However, the two-post ROPS may limit full protection in rollover scenarios, making an optional canopy advisable for enhanced operator safety.

KUBOTA L3650 TIRES
The Kubota L3650 tractor offers flexibility with its tire options, enabling optimal performance across 2WD and 4WD configurations; 4WD enhances traction and stability on uneven terrain, making it ideal for fieldwork or adverse conditions. The 13.6-26 rear tire allows for significant load capacity and power transfer, while the available lawn/turf tires provide a softer footprint, suitable for manicured landscapes to prevent soil compaction. Consider potential challenges with tire replacement costs and compatibility if switching between agricultural and turf applications, which may affect overall utility based on operational needs.
