Overall width of Grand L 6060 with R-4 tires

[genze]

If there is anyone on here with the Kabota grand L 6060 with the industrial tires?

Could you please measure what the overall width of your tractor is from outside of tires two outside of tires.

The Kabota website says 67.3 minimum but it doesn't mention if that's industrial tires or ag tires

Thank You

I'd say off the cuff 72"!!!

I'm ordering some implements like box grader and rear blade, snow blower etc.

And I would like to be positive because I want to order a little wider than my tracks.

The rears on my L4060 with R4s are 72". Same frame as the bigger Grand Ls, but I think bigger tires on the bigger machines. Mine aren't in quite all the way. I think they are set wide enough for tire chains, but not sure.

Pretty sure my fronts are pretty close to the rears. Haven't actually bothered looking to see how adjustable the front rims are. An given how muddy it is with the bit of snow we have melting off I'm not going up to the barn soon to measure & check.

Ok, thank You

Seems odd for example that Kabota would design their snowblower for that particular machine at 74 inches which barely covers the tracks by an inch .

Seems like in an ideal world it be nice to have like an extra 3 inches on each side of the tires.

I just checked my Owners Manual. I have a L5460 but the owners manual covers the L6060. On page 83 there is a chart showing the distances between the centerlines of the rear tires for ag tires and R4 tires. Since the rear wheels are adjustable. The center to center distance you are asking about could be 53.5", 54.9", or 59.1" depending upon how your rear wheels are set up. Measure the width of one of your rear wheels and add it to the numbers provided. This will be the width of your tractor.

You did not mention if you have 4 wheel drive. The Owners manual states:
Front Wheels (with 4-wheel drive)
Front tread can not be adjusted.
Do not turn front discs to obtain wider tread.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, for help.
My problem is my tractor is on order so I don't have any tires or wheels to measure.

And I'm not sure after taking those measurements in the book do I add the whole width of a r-4 or half since they're talking about a center measurement.

Mine is 4 Wheel Dr.
thanks

You'd add half the width of the tire, per side.

R4 wheels are sometimes offset. Those centerline numbers may be for the R1s. Best to ask the dealer what the width is. If they don't know it they should be able to find out.

Centerline wheel spacing numbers are the same regardless of tires. They usually specify min and max spacing called "tread." You can take the tire size and add the width number (14.9" for example) to the "tread" on the spec sheet and get the full outside to outside measurement. (Same result as what ericm979 describes above as half per side.) I have found "on paper" measurement to be very close. If you need closer "on paper" measurements then manually measure the real width of one rear tire at side points which you want to go by--- in other words whether you care about tread width, overall tire casing width, etc. In any case just add the tire width to the tread quoted in the tractor specs. The spec sheet for your 6060 on the Kubota site shows min as 52.2 and max of 56.3. With 14.9 tires you then have min width overall outside of 67.1" or max of 71.2." If your R4 tires are wider or different width than 14.9 just add the tire width to 52.2 for min and 56.3 for max. Note your spec table shows "overall width (min tread)" to be 67.3" which is 0.2" wider than just adding 14.9 to 52.2. I have no idea why. I doubt that your concern is in tenths of an inch anyway.

 

[Fallon]

The R4s on Grands are adjustable. At least 4 different positions. R4s on the economy 00 & 01 machines are fixed & not adjustable. Pretty sure all R1s are adjustable.

I'm trying to figure out is that 67.3 to the inside of the tread for an r-4 tire or outside of the of the r-4.
If it's the inside of the r-4 then what would be the minimum and a maximum width to the outside of the tread for the standard industrial tires that would come on my L 6060 that I have ordered.

I'm trying to figure this out for some implements I'm ordering for example the Kabota rear snowblower I believe is 74".

If my tractor measures 74 to 76 inches with my stock industrial tires from the factory I may want to upsize my implements to the next size wider so I'm cutting a slightly wider tracked in my tires.

I'm trying to order these implements at the same time as the tractor and another example is I'm ordering a heavy duty box blade and they come in 72 inches wide and I think 80 inches wide. If my tractors a few inches under 72 then maybe I would go with the 72 inch box blade but obviously if my tractors 74 inches wide then I probably want to go up to the 80 inch box blade.
Unfortunately where I am in Idaho my dealer sells mainly all agriculture equipment and I don't believe they've ever ordered a Grand L 6060 and they certainly don't have any in stock for me to measure.

Even that there over an hour away from me so I have no close Kabota dealers to me.

Thank you

Has nothing to do. with the tire other than how wide it is. The 67.3 is the minimum "tread" (e.g. center of tire determined by the steel of the tractor) plus the width of the tire = whole width outer edge to outer edge. Maybe easier to visualize as half the width of the tire added on each side outside the center. The spec sheet says your min center of tire width is 52.2 and max is 56.3. Fallon says (above) that the Grands have more adjustments than just the two choices of 52.2 and 56.3. Following up on that, you DO have 47.2, 51.2, 54.5 and 58.3 inches for 4 choices on the Grand rather than just 52.2 and 56.3. Add Your tire width to each of those numbers and you have your choices of overall tractor width from outside to outside of the rear tires. For heaven's sake with the cash you are putting out, the dealer better clarify that quickly and easily with a phone call if this is not clear. With a big smile.
Note that the specs on the Grand give you choices 2 inches wider and 3 inches narrower (overall width) that the cheaper machines offer.

Ok, I think i've got it.
So with the measurements you gave me above all I need to do is find out what the overall width of the rear industrial tires that comes standard on the L 6060 and that will give me my overall for available widths I could go with.

Thank very much.

Right. Good luck & let us know how it works out with your new machine !

Not certain if anyone stated the tire width so far in the previous posts... Apologize if this was already covered.

R4's tire width per Titan catalog:
10-16.5NHS: 10.9"
17.5L-24: 17.1"

R3 Turf:
29x12.5-15: 12.6"
44x18-20: 18.6"

 

[genze]

So the rear r-4 is 17.1"
Thanks everyone very much.

Though I've not measured mine lately, and cannot remember, I researched this before buying my L6060 in order to determine if it would work well with my Woods BB720X cutter.

The L6060 with R4s is a bit more narrow than my 72" cutter but it's close. I have the tires set in as far as is possible with R4s.

I just measured mine. It's just under 71" overall. There is about 2 1/4" clearance between the inside of the tires and the fenders. Didn't check to see if the tires can be set in any more narrow but wouldn't do so anyway because doing so would restrict tire chain clearance.

That's very helpful because as I said, I want to set it up so the outside of my industrial tires are at least 3 inches narrower than the 74 inch Kabota snowblower.
And I'm not sure if 74 inch on the rear Kabota snowblower is to the absolute outside of steel to outside of steel or the 74 inch is like the auger width.

I just wanted to make sure that after I cut a path with the snowblower that I had at least three or 4 inches on each side for the tires and a bit of maneuverability.

I really appreciate you taking the time to measure that for me.

Thank You

This stuff is not all that precise of course, even though tenths of inches are quoted. I notice that your 6060 Grand has one choice of 54.5 and that plus the 17.1 inch tires makes 71.6 inches outer edge to outer edge. The 74" blower running behind that will clear theoretically 2.4 inches more than your tire path width. Two inches "ain't much" when there is snow all over the place and you may well want more clearance by going to the 51.2 spacing on the 6060 which adds 3.3 inches, a little over an 1.6" on each side or leaving the tire path a total of 5.7 narrower than the nominal width of the blower. It becomes a personal preference thing at that point as to what you want and whether you really care about small differences. I recommend you have the dealer deliver the tractor with the tires set to whatever width you decide on, agree on liquid in them or not, cast metal wheel centers for weight, if you chose that option, etc. He really should set this up the way you want it. Moving rear tires around yourself is not that much fun. Of course I do not know your operation, how much help you have, etc. I would be very surprised if the dealer in your area lacks quite a bit of experience with snow blower applications and he should be able to provide the direct experience/advice. I have no idea whether you have any steep slopes or significantly uneven ground on which this machine will be used. I am always more comfortable the wider the rear tires are apart. By the way, I like the inner edges of my front tires and inner edges of my rear ones to match in spacing.
