I posted this on the Orange Tractor Talk forum wanted to get a little more insight.
I would like to know if anyone has had any bad experiences with filled tires and backhoe work on a grand L? I am having my L6060 built now with filled R1-14.9-26 tires, 600 lbs of wheel weight, Backhoe, and a 4n1 loader. All I have heard is how Kubota tractors are light and need more weight, but can the axles in the front and rear handle the added weight? I will continue to search the sites for answers.When I opened this thread I hoped to get some advice from those with real world experience. My concerns about weight began with operating the tractor on and around hills. The area will be very difficult to maneuver around and thought more weight would give me more stability. The next thing was using 5.5ft disc mower and baler (still unsure of baler size or type). I plan on building a 1/2 mile or so of gravel road across a steep incline. Then there is the fence installation with an auger and a 6" post driver. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
