Anyone Own A L6060?

[TripleR]

The only time I use the right side is if I can't get out the left, but my son uses whichever is closest. We have a bit over 150 acres of woods and quite a few washouts.

Here is what they replaced.

How heavy are your wheel eights? I have two sets a side as well, but yours stick out more; dealer said I could only use three each side, but I don't need it.

The weights are listed as 103# each and Kubota does show that three sets are the maximum recommended for that tractor, but I don't always follow all the rules, heck, I didn't always color within the lines as a kid. Now that I think about it, I used to play with tractors as a kid and I still play with tractors...hmmm! To add the additional weights just buy the weights and a bolt kit, works great.

After we quit farming we sold all stuff not realizing what twists and turns our lives can make.

Could you explain the misadjustment of the three point mechanism? I do not understand? Thanks....

My 3pt feedback rod was apparently mis-adjusted when I got my L4060. Listed the 3pt, then the loader all but stopped working. Dealer promptly figured it out & fixed it. Not entirely clear how that worked unless the 3pt is before the loader in the power beyond loop. And usually the 3pt is the last part. At any rate it hasn't been a problem since.

My L4060HSTC with loaded R4s is a good power to traction ratio. For most pulling tasks it's about right, which makes 20hp more on a L6060 excessive for its traction. However I wish I had more HP as I do a lot of mowing & roading, which arent traction limited. I'm over 15% down on power due to lack of oxygen at 7,000' here in Colorado.

My rear hydraulic valves suck & I hear most other Grands have lots of internal leakage on them as well. My 3rd function hoses are worn down to the braids under the tractor from driving over brush. I'm planning on picking up one of the recently announced skid plates from Paul that was previously linked.

Generally I'm happy with the machine. It's a good weight for my needs & bigger would be harder to haul with minimal benefits for me. I wish I got more HP due to the mowing, but budget wise it was the right call.

We must have our wheels set differently. We fix flats on ours too, but we still put fluid in. Now when we get one on our M8540 we call a service truck; just one flat and we decided, naw too old. As time passes, we'll probable take the tire off and trailer it to the dealer.

Here are the steps I got.

I have neither pump nor tank so cannot R & R liquid ballast.

Do you find the steps on the right side useful? After 55 years of driving tractors I don稚 ever remember getting out on the right side.

I like to be able to mount/dismount from either side of the tractor without walking around the mower.

This is easy enough to do on my vintage Fords but not on my Kubotas aside from my B1750.

We get it, your Fords are obviously better than any Kubota .

If you're limber enough the right loader arm makes a good handle, although that's probably easier to do on the rops model. I tend to get in on whatever side is closest to the house.

Technically you could get in from the right side on the cabbed Grands, but as a practical matter not really. The loader joystick is in the way as well as the HST go pedal. I'm not sure if I've really ever used the right step. I use the right door plenty when starting the machine or hitching things up, but not to get in or out of.

When did I say that?

In the past three years, I've sold three vintage Fords and bought four Kubotas.

That said, mounting/dismounting an M9960 (or even L6060) ROPS model from the right side is not easy for most folks. A step on the right side would be much appreciated.

Of course, we can blame the plaintiff's bar for the lack thereof.
