Kubota Tractor Terminology Guide
Unless an engine is specified by one of the below designations, it is a Kubota
engine with the features listed in the table, plus more. Call ESI if there are
any questions.
●E-TVCS- 3 vortex, diesel, combustion-system engine with large displacement for
high power output and power takeoff (PTO) torque.
●OHV- Overhead valve gasoline engine. Greater combustion efficiency, cleaner emissions, and 25% less fuel and 50% less oil consumption than
comparable side-valve engines.
●Gear- Standard Transmission
●Hydrostatic- Standard Kubota Hydrostatic Transmission
●HST- Featherstep Hydrostatic Transmission. Shaft drive with no belts.
●VHT- Variable Hydrostatic Transmission. Eliminates the need to adjust belt
drives, providing smooth, reliable transmission-assisted braking and
hill-holding capabilities.
●FST- Fully synchronized main-and-shuttle transmission for economical
reliability.
●GST- Glide Shift Transmission. Electronically controlled, clutchless operation.
●ROPS- Rolloever-protection Structure
