KUBOTA L3800 ENGINE

The Kubota L3800, powered by a 1.8L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers robust torque and fuel efficiency ideal for light to medium agricultural tasks. Its compact size enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, while the 4WD option improves traction on uneven terrain. However, the limited horsepower may challenge heavy-duty applications, making it less suitable for extensive fieldwork without additional power sources.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota L3800 features an 8-speed constant mesh hydrostatic transmission, providing smooth power delivery and enhanced maneuverability for various applications. Its hydrostatic drive allows for effortless speed control, making it ideal for tasks like mowing, loader work, or hauling. However, hydrostatic systems can introduce additional complexity and maintenance needs compared to traditional gear drives, which may be a consideration for users preferring simpler mechanics.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota L3800 features a constant mesh gear transmission, offering 8 forward and 4 reverse speeds, which provides versatility for various field tasks and maneuverability in tight spaces. The dry clutch system is typically more durable and easier to maintain but may require proper adjustment and familiarity for optimal performance. Ideal for small to medium-sized farms, this tractor excels in tasks like tilling and row cropping, although operators should be cautious with clutch engagement to avoid wear.
