KUBOTA MX4800 ENGINE

The Kubota MX4800 is powered by a robust 2.4L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering efficient fuel combustion for optimal torque and reliability. With a 13.5-gallon (51.1L) fuel tank, it provides adequate endurance for extended operations, making it suitable for mid-sized agricultural tasks. However, operators should consider the weight-to-power ratio during heavy implement use to maximize performance and fuel efficiency.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota MX4800 features an 8-speed synchronized shuttle hydrostatic transmission, providing smooth shifting and better control for operators, particularly during loading and material handling tasks. This setup enhances efficiency by allowing seamless transitions between forward and reverse, ideal for tight maneuvering. However, it may require more focused operator training to master the hydrostatic pedal coordination compared to traditional manual options.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota MX4800 features a synchronized shuttle transmission, enabling seamless gear shifting for operator efficiency in both forward and reverse, which is advantageous for tasks requiring frequent directional changes. With 8 forward and reverse gears, this tractor provides versatility in speed selection, catering to various applications from loading to tilling. However, the dry disc clutch may demand more maintenance than wet clutches, particularly under heavy loads, so operators should monitor wear and adjust driving techniques accordingly to optimize lifespan.

Gears 8 forward and reverse
Clutch dry disc

TRANSMISSION 2

The Kubota MX4800 features a hydrostatic transmission with an infinite (3-range) forward and reverse gear system, providing smooth operation and ease of use, particularly for tasks requiring frequent speed adjustments. Pros include reduced operator fatigue and enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces, while potential challenges involve the complexity of hydrostatic systems which may result in increased maintenance requirements. Ideal for farming or landscaping applications, this tractor allows for efficient operation on varied terrain.

MECHANICAL

The Kubota MX4800 tractor features a robust 4x4 MFWD option, providing enhanced traction in varied terrain, which is ideal for farming and construction applications. Its hydrostatic power steering offers improved maneuverability, while the 8-speed synchronized shuttle transmission allows for seamless forward and reverse operation, enhancing productivity when working in confined spaces. However, the mechanical wet disc brakes may require more maintenance compared to dry disc systems, leading to potential challenges in long-term operational costs.

KUBOTA MX4800 TIRES

The Kubota MX4800 tractor, with its standard agricultural tires, offers substantial traction and stability, particularly with a rear tire size of 14.9-26, enhancing performance in various field conditions. The 2WD configuration provides a lower purchase cost and simpler maintenance, while the 4WD option improves maneuverability and traction on uneven terrain, making it ideal for diverse agricultural applications. However, the choice between 2WD and 4WD may depend on the specific operational needs, such as soil conditions and load requirements.
