I have a question for Mr. K:
On OTT home, there is an article entitled “Getting to Know Your Kubota’s Clutch” which states that the L2550 has a wet clutch. There is also an article entitled “Kubota L2350 Clutch Repair Pricing” which lists the L2550 (as well as the L2350) as having a single plate dry clutch. I have posted the relevant article sections below. I have an L2550 and would like to know which I have. How do I tell?
Thanks for the help.

Kubota L2350 Clutch Repair Pricing
OrangeTractorTalks reader Brian recently requested a quote for what we call a clutch overhaul kit for his L2350. This estimate is for a single disc dry clutch, and although for the L2350, other similar models like L2050, L2250, L2550, L2650 or L3250 would have similar pricing for these clutch components. If you are thinking of tackling this job as a DIY’er, plan on setting aside 8-10 hours – a good long weekend job.
Part Notes Price
Clutch Disc replace as a set with pressure plate $97.40
Pressure Plate replace as a set with disc $132.00
Release Bearing $32.39
Release Hub $31.67
Hub Release Return Spring $2.38
Clutch Release Fork often worn and causes binding $28.50
Total $324.34
Getting to Know Your Kubota’s Clutch
Certain Kubota tractors use a multiple plate wet disc clutch system that is in-place of the dry clutch. This hydraulic wet clutch offers exceptional durability and a much longer operating life compared to a single dry clutch disc. The wet clutch has a steady stream of filtered hydraulic oil that keeps the clutch discs and plates cool, reducing friction for smoother operation. A mechanically actuated shuttle valve controls the directional flow of oil, allowing the operator to shift between forward and reverse gears without clutching. Kubota’s L2550 or L2650 are two examples that employ a wet clutch.
