TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Kubota M6-131 tractor features a 24-speed partial power shift transmission, allowing for versatile speed adjustments and improved torque management, beneficial in varying field conditions. Alternatively, the 32-speed option offers even greater control and adaptability, particularly advantageous for precision tasks where optimal RPM control is crucial. Consider the desired application; the 32-speed may deliver enhanced performance in specialized farming operations but could introduce additional complexity in operation.
