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.

KUBOTA L5240 TRANSMISSION

The Kubota L5240 features a hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed adjustments and ease of operation, especially for tasks requiring precision such as mowing and loader work. A key advantage is its ability to eliminate clutching, allowing for smoother operation and reduced operator fatigue. However, hydrostatic systems can lead to higher maintenance costs over time due to more complex components compared to traditional gear transmissions.
