TRANSMISSION 1
The Kubota M125 tractor features a synchromesh transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears, providing versatility for various agricultural tasks. The dry disc clutch ensures reliable power transfer but may require more maintenance compared to wet clutch systems. The gear configuration allows for efficient operation across different terrains, making it ideal for both heavy tillage and precision farming scenarios.
| Type | synchromesh |
| Gears | 16 forward and reverse |
| Clutch | dry disc |
| Description | Four gears (1-4) in two ranges with additional high/low shift. |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Kubota M125 tractor features a power shift transmission with a total of 16 gears, offering efficient speed control in both forward and reverse, which is advantageous for tasks requiring frequent direction changes. The hydraulic wet disc clutch allows for smoother engagement and higher durability under heavy loads, mitigating potential wear. Ideal for medium to large agricultural operations, the tractor’s versatile gear configuration enhances productivity in various field applications, though operators should acclimate to its power-shift mechanism for optimal performance.
