| Description | Controlled by treadle foot pedal, cruise control standard with left-hand lever. Three range with Hydro Dual Speed, a high/low power shift controlled by left-hand lever. Auto Hydro Dual speed allows automatic control to match load. Stall Guard maintains engine RPMs by reducing speed under load. HST Response Control adjusts acceleration rates. Auto Throttle Advance links engine RPMs to transmission, so that the throttle increases when speed is increased. |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Kubota L4740 features a Glide Shift Transmission (GST) with a power shift capability, enhancing operator efficiency by allowing seamless gear changes under load. With 12 forward and 8 reverse gears, it provides excellent versatility for varied agricultural tasks, though its complexity may present a learning curve for some operators. The 45.6-quart oil capacity indicates a robust system ensuring better lubrication and cooling, which is beneficial for prolonged operations.
