TRANSMISSION
The Kubota STV32 features a hydrostatic transmission offering infinite speed control within three distinct ranges, enhancing operator precision during various tasks. This design allows for seamless shifting between forward and reverse, reducing operator fatigue and improving maneuverability, especially in tight spaces. However, one should consider potential limitations in maximum speed and load capacity compared to geared tractors in heavy-duty applications.

| Gears | infinite (3-range) forward and reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Kubota STV32 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD system, providing excellent traction and stability, especially in uneven terrain or during heavy tillage tasks. Its mechanical rear differential lock enhances performance in slippery conditions, while the hydrostatic transmission offers seamless operation and precise control, ideal for tasks requiring frequent speed adjustments. However, the optional cab may limit operator comfort during prolonged use, particularly in inclement weather.
