Introduction
Kubota L4060 Compact Utility Tractor
Produced between 2013 and 2023, the Kubota L4060 is a compact utility tractor designed for versatile agricultural and grounds maintenance applications. It belongs to the L-series, positioning it as a mid-range solution for operators requiring high performance within a compact footprint.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. It generates a net power of 40 hp (29.8 kW) and a gross power of 42 hp (31.3 kW). The engine utilizes direct injection and an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system to meet Tier IV emission standards, ensuring efficient operation during sustained workloads.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The L4060 offers multiple transmission configurations to suit different operational requirements: a synchronized shuttle with 8 forward and reverse gears, a 12-speed mechanical transmission, or the advanced HST Plus hydrostatic transmission. The HST Plus features a three-range system with an integrated Hi-Lo Dual Speed function, allowing for rapid, automatic or manual speed adjustments. All models are equipped with four-wheel drive and wet disc brakes for reliable traction and stopping performance.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is divided into gear and hydrostatic circuits. The gear pump provides a total flow of 14.7 gpm (55.6 lpm), while the hydrostatic system offers a total flow of 14.1 gpm (53.4 lpm). The rear Category I three-point hitch provides a lift capacity of 2760 lbs (1251 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point. It comes standard with position control, with optional draft control available for more precise implement management.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The tractor is available with a two-post foldable ROPS or the Grand Cab, which includes air conditioning for operator comfort. With a wheelbase of 74.6 inches (189 cm) and a minimum width of 66.5 inches (168 cm), the machine maintains stability while remaining maneuverable. Ground clearance is 12.2 inches (30 cm), making it suitable for varied terrain.
