Power steering older kubota

[D245T]

I have an l245dt, really like it. However it would be nice to have power steering. When did Kubota make power steering standard on tractors in this range?
it would make searching for an upgrade easier.
Thanks

I don't know if there's a simple answer. I do know that the 'tractordata' site is pretty good at listing Kubota's whole range, years of manufacture and specs. I suspect it has some inaccuracies, but from what I've seen, it's decently accurate.

Moved to better location on the forum as L245 is not a grey market tractor.

The L245 did come with power steering, you just got unlucky and got the manual steering version.

The next tractors in series was the first run LXX50, they pretty much all are equipped with power or better yet hydrostatic steering.

There was a dealer installed power steering unit for the L 245. I have only seen a couple of them in the last 45 years. If you look in the parts book they show a factory installed power steering. I have never seen one. As wolfman said I would look at the newer series tractors. Something like a L2350. That l245 is just about a perfect utility tractor if it had power steering it. Great old machine.
