I thought I would give another update on the tractor, including front snowblower
1. Awesome tractor. I have about 200 hours on it.
2. It surely needs filled tires or rear tire weights. I am using a weight basket filled with sand, which works ok. Tire weights are in my future.
3. Front snowblower......A beast! Depending on snow weight, will throw snow 40 to 60 feet easily! A little wind, even longer. Even in 10" of snow, absolutely no spillover at 4-5MPH. The hydraulic rotator/deflector is worth every penny. Allows you to place snow exactly where you want it. Driving forward is a joy. Cab heat is nice too!
4. Front snow blade for auto hitch: Only used twice. Works well, yet it would be great to have an adapter plate to mount it on the FEL and use auxiliary hydraulics to angle. Then you could use on both the FEL and auto hitch.
5. FEL forks: As new, totally hate them. Forks are to short to see them, so you cannot tell if you are level when low to the ground. I could readjust the level indicator, but then would have to adjust every time you switch back to the bucket. I just use the fork extensions.
6. E from above post: Ball switch is a PITA. I have adjusted it a few more times. I tighten the last time with a breaker bar, and so far it has stayed in position.
7. Putting on/taking off auto hitch frame. Having a flat level concrete floor is best. After doing a few times, it goes pretty fast. I have to put a 2" thick board under the front hitch, otherwise, it won't get up high enough to slide the pins in. FEL movement will not bleed off enough pressure to allow easy hookup of hoses. I found leaving 3 point hitch up, working FEL joystick, then dropping 3 Pt will bleed off enough pressure to allow easy hookup.
A few things they should modify on the L6060:
1. Lengthen FEL so the auto hitch can be on at the same time. Engineer the hydraulics to be cab controlled (switch) to implement (FEL or AH)
2. The FEL should pick a ton.
3. The FEL should come with tow/lift hooks from factory. Yep, a couple of $10 hooks would make people very happy.
4. Front fenders: Heavy duty plastic with quick detach pins.
Overall, I am very pleased with it. Glad it is not 110% perfect, otherwise I would not have an excuse to buy the newest version in 2 years! :laughing:I hope this helps answer any questions anyone has about the setup.
