I'm looking into buying an offset tractor, and a kubota l245h appears to be available in my area. I'm just wondering what experiences others have had with the 245 -- even if it wasn't the offset version.

for anyone who does have the row cultivator version, just curious what possible number of rows and spacing is. In other words, can it accomodate 1, 2 or 4 rows and what spacing range?

thanks in advance!

I have an L245H and I like it , it is a one row cultivating tractor well suited for row crop/vegetable farming ,gardening. I have a covington one row planter with a fertilizer distributer that I use on the rear 3 point hitch to plant seed with.
My tractor is about 25- 30 years old with about 1100 hrs showing on the hour meter. Last week when I cranked it on a cold morning it blew a plug in the block and pumped the engine oil out , I found the plug (about 1/4 inch diameter) on the ground and drove it back , installed a new oil filter and refilled the crankcase with engine oil. Hope it stays in , I will keep an eye on it though.

Hi
thanks for the reply. I see that you use it as a 1 row cultivator, but is there any information in a manual or other obvious way it could handle multiple rows? In other words, can it accomodate 1, 2 or 4 rows and what spacing range?

thanks again!

The 245H is high clearance and offset design so that you can observe the cultivator in front of the floor board (belly mounted) as you drive straddle of the rowcrop, however it probably would accomadate a 2 row planter /cultivator on the 3 point hitch if you wanted to operate it that way and have somewhat loose loamy soil conditions. Here in middle Georgia the soil is tight red clay and it packs after several rains, south Georgia is quite different. I would think that the 25 horsepower engine probably would not pull more than the two row cultivator.
