L Series owners

[innrkid]

What the heck. I'll jump in.
I recently traded my former and purchased a 6060 Grand, grapple from EA and a new drill planter-- Land Pride 3p606NT. Very happy so far although I have not run the drill. This is after 5 years with a 3130 that was as reliable as the sun rise.
Air ride seat is nice and so is the heating/cooling! Old bones don't do as well as they used to!

How many hours on the M6060? Any first impressions?

Are you asking about mine? If you are, It's an L series.

I've owned older Kubotas and bought a NEW L3901 and am HAPPY with it!!!! If it tears up I'm sure Barlows has competent mechanics that work for him that can and will happily fix it and get their pay check and provide for their family. I also know people that said the automatic transmission on cars would never last when they all tore up and were terrible to try and push start a vehicle with auto transmission.:cool2:

Oops...I meant to write L but had mush for brains that day.
Yes, your L6060 is what I meant.

I just bought an L35 Backhoe Loader, older 1995 has about 2400 hours and needs a bit of TLC but it's been strong so far. Front wheels move around so I think I need bearings and maybe uv joints up front? Want to fix that before seals go, but I still need to check front axle fluid. Backhoe works good, haven't taken it off yet to try 3pt and PTO. Previous owner never ran it so I hope it works. I assume it doesn't have a MM PTO, haven't looked it up but I don't see one. Thinking of getting a clamshell front bucket or grapple attachment and a mower for out back. I did add a cup holder!

Around 50 hours. I had some issues with the rear hydraulics but it was purely mechanic error. Love the air ride seat. I don't see much value in the upper cab headlights or rear working lights. It's well documented they don't work all that well. I posted a thread on here regarding my LED upgrades. The power is incredible, stall guard is nice and intellipanel is a very nice addition. I had tilt wheel on last tractor and really like that feature and glad to have it again. It's a bit thirsty but nothing I did not expect. So far, so good...no real complaints.

Thank you. That size and engine appeals to me. Lots of power in a small package and not too heavy.

I've had great reliability from my L3130, too.
I really like that drill...will it plant sunflowers? What will you plant?

It will plant large grain (oats, sunflower, corn, oats) as well as clover sized seeds. I did get the small seed box option. Nice feature is I can plant both cover (clover) at the same time as a grain.
