TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Kubota MX4700 features an 8-speed partially synchronized hydrostatic transmission, allowing for seamless operation during variable speed tasks, which enhances efficiency in both field and transport scenarios. This design provides improved control and ease of use, especially on uneven terrain, but may present a learning curve for operators accustomed to fully synchronized transmissions. Consideration should be given to maintenance, as hydrostatic systems can require specific fluid and care to avoid performance issues over time.
| Description | 8-speed partially synchronized hydrostatic |
TRANSMISSION 1
The Kubota MX4700's partially synchronized Synchro Shuttle transmission allows for seamless shifting between 8 forward and reverse gears, enhancing operator efficiency during tasks that require frequent directional changes. The dry disc clutch is reliable but may present challenges in terms of maintenance and wear compared to wet clutch systems. With an oil capacity of 46.4 quarts, proper lubrication is critical for optimal transmission performance, especially under heavy loads, thereby ensuring longevity and reduced downtime.

TRANSMISSION 2
The Kubota MX4700 features a hydrostatic transmission with infinite gear selection across three ranges, enhancing ease of operation, especially for tasks requiring frequent speed adjustments. The inclusion of a treadle foot pedal and standard cruise control provides operator comfort and efficiency, making it advantageous for repetitive tasks like mowing or tilling. However, hydrostatic systems may have slightly reduced power transfer efficiency compared to mechanical transmissions, leading to potential performance limitations in heavy-duty applications.

KUBOTA MX4700 TIRES
The Kubota MX4700 offers versatile tire options tailored for various applications: standard agricultural tires enhance traction in field operations, while optional turf and industrial tires provide adaptability for different terrains and working conditions. The 2WD configuration (7.5L-15 front and 14.9-26 rear) may be more economical but can limit maneuverability and traction on uneven ground compared to the 4WD alternative (9.5-16 front and 14.9-26 rear). Choose the appropriate tire type based on primary usage scenarios—agriculture, lawn care, or industrial tasks—to optimize performance and handling.
