TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota L3901 features an 8-speed synchronized shuttle hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless gear transitions and enhanced control during varying operational tasks. This setup is advantageous for maneuvering in tight spaces and improving productivity in both fieldwork and loader applications. However, while hydrostatic systems offer ease of use, they may require more maintenance than traditional gear transmissions.

8-speed synchronized shuttle hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota L3901 features a synchronized shuttle transmission, allowing for smooth gear shifts while providing 8 forward and reverse speeds, enhancing maneuverability in various terrain. The dry disc clutch offers durability and ease of maintenance, though it may require more operator skill to manage than a wet clutch system. Ideal for applications like agricultural work, this setup provides effective performance for both field and transport tasks, although operators should be prepared for the physical demands of shifting gears manually.

Type	synchronized shuttle
Gears	8 forward and reverse
Clutch	dry disc
Description	Four gears (1-4) in two ranges with mechanical shuttle.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Kubota L3901 features a hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed control, which enhances maneuverability for various tasks, particularly in tight spaces. Its infinite gear selection across 3 ranges allows for optimized torque application and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for diverse agricultural operations. However, while hydrostatic systems typically require less maintenance, they can be less efficient than traditional gear-driven systems in heavy-duty applications.

Type	hydrostatic
Gears	infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Kubota L3901 features a robust 4x4 MFWD drivetrain, enhancing traction for diverse terrains but may incur additional maintenance compared to a 2WD variant. Its power steering allows for easier maneuverability in tight spaces, ideal for small farms or landscaping tasks. The 8-speed synchronized shuttle hydrostatic transmission provides smooth operation during fieldwork, making it user-friendly for operators of varying experience levels, although some may find the hydrostatic system less efficient at high speeds.

KUBOTA L3901 TIRES

The Kubota L3901 offers versatile tire options catering to different applications: 2WD and 4WD configurations, with standard agricultural tires providing optimal traction for agricultural use, while turf and industrial tires enhance performance in specific scenarios. The 4WD variant, fitted with larger front tires (7.2-16) and the ability to adapt to turf or industrial tires, is better suited for varied terrains and more robust applications. This adaptability is advantageous for farmers needing maneuverability on soft or uneven land, but the 2WD model may struggle in challenging conditions compared to its 4WD counterpart.

2WD Standard tires (ag)	Front: 5.00-15. Rear: 11.2-24
4WD Standard tires (ag)	Front: 7.2-16. Rear: 11.2-24
