TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota L4701 features an 8-speed synchronized shuttle hydrostatic transmission, allowing for smooth direction changes and precise speed control, ideal for various agricultural tasks. This transmission type offers the advantage of reduced operator fatigue during prolonged use, as it simplifies gear shifting. However, the complexity of the hydraulic system may lead to increased maintenance requirements over time.

Description

8-speed synchronized shuttle hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota L4701 features a synchronized shuttle transmission with 8 forward and reverse gears, allowing for precise control during operation, particularly beneficial in varied terrain. The dry disc clutch contributes to reliable performance but may require more maintenance compared to wet clutches, especially under heavy usage. This transmission setup is ideal for applications requiring frequent directional changes, such as loader work or in tight spaces.

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 L4701 features a hydrostatic transmission, allowing for smooth and seamless speed adjustments without the need for gear shifting, which enhances operator comfort and efficiency during extended use. With its infinite forward and reverse ranges, it provides excellent maneuverability, especially in tight spaces or during intricate tasks like loader work. However, users should note that hydrostatic systems can be more complex and may require more maintenance compared to gear-driven alternatives.

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

MECHANICAL

The Kubota L4701 tractor features a versatile 4x4 MFWD configuration, which enhances traction in various terrain situations, particularly useful for agricultural applications. Its hydrostatic power steering offers precise maneuverability, while the mechanical wet disc brakes promote reliable stopping power under load. The 8-speed synchronized shuttle hydrostatic transmission provides smooth gear transitions, making it ideal for both heavy-duty tasks and operational efficiency in tight spaces.

KUBOTA L4701 TIRES

The Kubota L4701 tractor can be configured with various tire options suited for different applications: 2WD provides a more economical choice for light agricultural tasks with standard ag tires, while 4WD enhances traction and stability for heavier tasks, especially in uneven terrain. The choice of lawn/turf tires reduces ground disturbance, making it suitable for landscaping and maintenance work, whereas industrial tires boost durability and stability for construction environments. It's crucial to match the tire type to the intended application to optimize performance and prevent unnecessary wear on both the tires and the tractor.
