Common questions
Kubota L245 weight FAQ
How much does a Kubota L245 weigh?
The Kubota L245 weighs 2,196 lb (996 kg) using the published 2WD Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 1,825 to 3,792 lb (827 to 1,720 kg).
How much heavier is the 4WD Kubota L245 than the 2WD model?
Published 2WD weight is 1,825–2,196 lb (828–996 kg), while published 4WD weight is 2,000–2,382 lb (907–1,080 kg). On a midpoint basis, the published 4WD configurations are about 180 lb heavier. Tires, transmission and other configuration differences can also affect the number.
What is the operating weight of the Kubota L245 compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 2,196–2,382 lb (996–1,080 kg), versus 1,825–2,000 lb (828–907 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 371 lb (20.3%) more than shipping weight. Operating weight is generally the more useful starting point when estimating a ready-to-use tractor.
How much does the Kubota L245 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 3,792 lb (1,720 kg). That is up to 1,967 lb (107.8%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Kubota L245 a lightweight utility tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 20th percentile, lighter than roughly 80% of the utility tractor peers. That puts it in the light range for this comparison. It is 3,067 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 5,263 lb.
How wide is the Kubota L245 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 51.6 in (4.3 ft). That is 50.4 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
