TRANSMISSION

The Kubota L5460 features HST Plus hydrostatic transmission, providing infinite speed control through three ranges and dual-speed operation for efficient task management. Advantages include seamless speed adjustments and the ability to switch between high and low ranges effortlessly, enhancing productivity during variable workload conditions. However, this system may be less mechanically robust than traditional gear transmissions in heavy-duty applications.

Transmission HST Plus Hydrostatic transmission with three ranges plus Hydro Dual Speed Hi-Lo. The Dual Speed allows rapid switching between two speeds in range, either automatically or with a lever on the steering column.

Gears infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Kubota L5460 features a robust 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction on various terrains, making it ideal for diverse agricultural tasks. Its hydrostatic power steering and transmission provide seamless control and ease of operation, especially in tight spaces or during prolonged use. The optional Grand Cab with air-conditioning offers operator comfort, although the two-post foldable ROPS may limit protection during rollover situations.
