TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota L4310 tractor features an 8-speed mechanical shuttle transmission, offering seamless directional changes ideal for varied terrain applications. The hydrostatic option provides ease of operation with smooth speed control, while the fully synchronized 16-speed creeper gear enables precise handling at low speeds, beneficial for tasks like tilling or precision maneuvering in tight spaces. However, the complexity of maintaining multiple transmission types may pose challenges for some operators; ensure proper training to maximize efficiency.

Description Four synchronized gears in two ranges. Synchronized shuttle shifting.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Kubota L4310 features a hydrostatic transmission, enabling smooth variable speed control, which is advantageous for precision tasks such as mowing or hauling. Its infinite (3-range) forward and reverse gears enhance flexibility in various terrain and operational conditions, though it may have limitations in terms of maximum speed compared to gear-driven models. This setup is ideal for operators seeking ease of use and control in landscaping or diverse agricultural applications.

Gears 16 forward and reverse
Description Optional creeper range available for the FST or GST transmission.

MECHANICAL

The Kubota L4310 tractor offers a robust option with either two-wheel drive (2WD) or four-wheel drive (MFWD), enhancing maneuverability in diverse terrains. Its hydrostatic power steering and wet disc brakes provide superior control and safety, making it suitable for heavy-duty tasks. The transmission options, including an 8-speed mechanical shuttle and a 16-speed creeper, allow for precise speed management, beneficial for applications such as tilling or hauling in confined spaces.
