Introduction
Kubota KL28R-PC Half-Track Tractor
The Kubota KL28R-PC is a specialized half-track crawler tractor produced between 2012 and 2015. Designed for agricultural applications requiring high traction, this machine combines a compact footprint with a crawler propulsion system to operate effectively in challenging soil conditions.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Kubota D1703, a 1.6-liter, 3-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. It generates 27.6 horsepower (20.6 kW) at a rated speed of 2700 RPM. This engine configuration is optimized for consistent power delivery across various implements.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The KL28R-PC features a Glideshift powershift transmission offering 24 forward and 16 reverse gears. The system utilizes a dry disc clutch and incorporates twelve hydraulically-shifted gears across two ranges, allowing for precise speed adjustments. The vehicle is configured as a half-track machine, which significantly improves traction compared to standard wheel-only setups.
Hydraulics and PTO
The tractor is equipped with a rear Category I hitch for implement attachment. The rear power take-off (PTO) operates at a standard 540 RPM at a rated engine speed of 2700 RPM, providing the necessary power output for secondary agricultural equipment.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The base model features a two-post Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS), while a climate-controlled cab is available as an option. The machine has a wheelbase of 169 cm and a ground clearance of 39 cm. Depending on the configuration, the weight ranges from 1549 kg for the ROPS version to 1759 kg for the cab model.
Conclusion
The Kubota KL28R-PC is engineered for specialized agricultural tasks where ground pressure and traction are critical. Its half-track design, combined with a versatile powershift transmission, makes it suitable for farmers and operators working in varied or difficult terrain.
