Cub Cadet LT1045 Extra Dimension Notes
Fitment note
The Cub Cadet LT1045 physical size reads as length at 68 in (5 ft 8 in) / 1,727.2 mm, width at 46 in (3 ft 10 in) / 1,168.4 mm, and height at 42 in (3 ft 6 in) / 1,066.8 mm. Use those values as the baseline before adding implement length.
Wheelbase note
The Cub Cadet LT1045 wheelbase is 46 in (3 ft 10 in) / 1,168.4 mm. That number is worth checking if you care about loader stability or ride feel.
Ground clearance note
The Cub Cadet LT1045 ground clearance comes through as 4.5 in / 114.3 mm. It matters when the ground is not flat and clean.
Tread width note
The captured tread data for the Cub Cadet LT1045 gives rear tread only: 20 in (1 ft 8 in) / 508 mm.
Storage Tips
Floor space is not enough; check the door height, side clearance and attachment length.
This is a smaller tractor class, so tight acreage sheds and small equipment bays are realistic if the doorway clears.
Use the 46 in wheelbase as a clue for how much approach room is needed near the shed entrance.
Storage FAQ
What size garage will fit the tractor?
For this small compact tractor, garage fit is not a yes/no from the model name. Compare the actual 68 in length, 46 in width and 42 in height against a clear 7 ft high, 8 ft wide, 15 ft deep space.
What size door should I check?
Do not size the door to exactly 42 in by 46 in. For this model, use about 7 ft height and 8 ft width, then allow 15 ft depth for the 68 in tractor length.
Do attachments change the storage size?
Yes. A tight bay should be planned around the attached setup. For this small compact tractor, allow about 2 ft to 4 ft extra depth if gear stays on.
How much maneuvering room should I allow?
If the door is close to the 8 ft target, approach angle matters more. The Cub Cadet LT1045’s 46 in width and 46 in wheelbase need a clean line into the bay.
Official information note
Mistakes do happen. Tractor dimensions can change by year, tire setup, cab/ROPS setup, attachments and market. Please check the operator manual, build sheet and official cubcadet.com website for official information.
