TRANSMISSION

The Kubota STW34 features a hydrostatic transmission that allows for infinite variable speed control, enhancing precision in various farming tasks. Its 3-range system provides versatility for different operational scenarios, making it suitable for both heavy-duty applications and delicate maneuvers. However, users may experience higher maintenance costs compared to traditional gear systems due to the complexity of hydrostatic components.

Gears infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Kubota STW34 features a robust 4x4 MFWD system, providing enhanced traction on varying terrain, essential for both agricultural and utility applications. Its mechanical rear differential lock improves stability and power delivery in challenging conditions, while the hydrostatic transmission offers seamless speed regulation without the need for manual shifting, catering well to novice operators. The optional air-conditioned cab increases operator comfort, promoting efficiency during prolonged use in diverse weather conditions, although the two-post ROPS design may provide less overhead protection compared to full-enclosed cabins.

KUBOTA STW34 TIRES

The Kubota STW34 features versatile tire options, with standard agricultural tires ensuring superior traction and stability for field work, while lawn/turf tires are optimized for manicured surfaces, reducing soil compaction. The front tires (6.00-12 or 24x8.50-14) and rear tires (9.5-22 or 13.6-16) provide flexibility for various applications, but switching between tire types may require recalibration of the tractor's handling characteristics. Considerations for tire choice should reflect the intended use—agricultural for field operations and turf tires for sensitive environments like parks or sports fields.
