The Kubota L5740 compact utility tractor is the largest and most powerful machine in the Kubota L40 series. The engine that powers it is an E-TVCS diesel, as in the rest of the L40 series. However, this engine is more powerful than the rest of the series. It has a maximum net power of 57 hp and a maximum gross power of 59 hp. The engine is a 4-cylinder 4-stroke model that has a total displacement of 2, 434 liters. The engine is turbocharged and has a nominal speed of 2, 700 rpm. The L5740 starts with a 12-volt battery that provides 582 cold cranking amps to the engine. The open operator station model uses a 45 amp alternator to charge the battery, while the cab model uses a 60 amp alternator to charge the battery.
The Kubota L5740 uses an HST Plus hydrostatic transmission to get power from the engine to the wheels. This transmission works in 3 ranges (Hi, Med, Lo) which means it doesn’t require much gear changing, allowing the operator to focus on other activities. This hydrostatic transmission gives the L 5740 a top speed of 25. 9 km/h forwards and a top speed of 23. 3 km/h in reverse, almost as fast.
The Kubota L5740 compact utility tractor has a minimum turning radius of just 2. 8m when 4WD mode is off and wet disc brakes are used. If you are looking for less powerful machines that are similar to the L 5740, then you should strongly consider checking out the Kubota L4740, Kubota L5040 or even the Kubota L5240 tractors. The weight of the tractor with the open driving position is 1, 770 kg, while with the cab it is 1, 920 kg.
