ENGINE DETAIL

The Kubota T240 tractor is powered by a robust 1.5L D1463 diesel engine, delivering 23.7hp at 2600 RPM, making it suitable for light to medium agricultural tasks. Its compact design, combined with liquid cooling, enhances efficiency and prolongs engine life, though potential challenges may include limited power for heavier implements. Ideal for small farms or residential properties, the electric starter offers convenience, but the tractor's relatively low horsepower may restrict its use in more demanding applications.

KUBOTA T240 ENGINE

The Kubota T240, powered by a 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers a balance of efficiency and power suitable for light agricultural tasks. Its 7.4-gallon (28.0L) fuel tank provides an adequate range for extended work sessions, minimizing downtime for refueling. However, users should note that the relatively small fuel capacity may require more frequent stops compared to larger tractors, making it less ideal for extensive operations without planning.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kubota T240 features a 12-speed hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed control and ease of operation, ideal for various agricultural tasks. This system allows for precise power management and enhances productivity, especially in applications requiring frequent speed adjustments. However, the complexity of hydrostatic systems may lead to higher maintenance needs compared to traditional mechanical transmissions.

Description 12-speed gear hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kubota T240 features a simple gear transmission with 12 forward speeds and 4 reverse speeds, allowing for precise control over different field conditions. Its extensive range of gears can enhance operational efficiency, particularly in varying terrain and agricultural tasks. However, the absence of a hydrostatic transmission may challenge ease of use in steep gradients or tight maneuvering, making it less suited for certain applications compared to competitors with more advanced drivetrains.

Gears 12 forward and 4 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Kubota T240 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission, offering seamless speed adjustments without the need for gear shifting, which enhances operator comfort and control, particularly in varied terrains. Its infinite (3-range) forward and reverse capability allows for precise maneuverability in tight spaces or during delicate operations. A significant advantage is the reduced operator fatigue and increased productivity, though maintaining optimal transmission fluid levels is essential to prevent overheating and ensure longevity.

MECHANICAL

The Kubota T240 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD chassis, providing enhanced traction on varied terrains, which is advantageous for diverse agricultural tasks. The two-post folding ROPS offers essential operator safety while maintaining excellent visibility. Its 12-speed gear/hydrostatic transmission allows for versatile speed control, beneficial for precise fieldwork and transitioning between different working conditions.

KUBOTA T240 TIRES

The Kubota T240 tractor with standard ag tires (Front: 6-14, Rear: 9.5-22) offers a balance between maneuverability and stability, suitable for diverse agricultural tasks. Upgrading to optional tires (Rear: 9.5-24) can enhance traction and ground clearance, making it advantageous for softer terrains like wet fields. However, consider that larger tires may affect turning radius and overall agility in tighter spaces, impacting fieldwork efficiency.
