The Kubota L45 utility tractor is from the TLB series of machines produced by Kubota. There are smaller, less powerful models in the TLB series that include the Kubota B26 or the Kubota L39 tractors, but if you happen to be looking for something that’s a bit more powerful in the TLB series, you may be interested in the Kubota M59 tractor.

The PTO on this tractor has a max power of 32 hp. The engine gets it’s diesel from a fuel tank that has a capacity to hold up to 45 liters (11.9 US gallons).

The Kubota L45 utility tractor powers the wheels using a hydrostatic HST Plus transmission.

The HST Plus hydrostatic gearbox gives the L45 tractor a top speed of 24 kph (14.9 mph) when traveling forwards. Slowing down on this tractor is easy thanks to a wet disc braking system.

This hydraulics system which has a pumping capacity of 94.9 l/min (25 US gallons per minute) powers the rear 3 point hitch (category 1) which has a max safe lifting capacity of 1250 kg (2756 lbs).
