Why front spacers? Due to the pivot on the front axle extra width adds very little stability. I dont remember how close offhand, but that might out you close to hitting the loader when it's down & you are turning.

I know nothing about front wheel spacers for the L6060, but you can move the wheels/tires to the opposite side to add width.

Of course, doing so will likely cause interference between the tires and FEL brackets if so installed unless you readjust the steering stops, which will increase turning radius.

Also if you install after market and something happens to anything related to the new parts it will not be warrantied. Personally I would not mess with the front axle in this way, especially as it bears a great deal of the weight from a loaded FEL.

Does Kubota even recommend spacing the front wheels out? As has been mentioned spacing the wheels out increases the likelihood of breakage at the front axle due to the added leverage working against it. You may wish to rethink WHY you want to space the front wheels out in the first place.

My old M5030DT front wheels could be interval spaced out for crop work like the back wheels. The manual giving spacing dimensions. Canadian built 530 loader was very strong. I spaced the fronts out some to help hill side loader work. Yes I understand the front axle pivot but on rough ground wider is better. Did decrease turning radius. Does increase stress to the front axle. In the 80’s that tractor was made seriously heavy and made to take it. With a no-spin front diff that tractor could pull!

Yes but that is a M series utility tractor. The L series is a compact tractor. It is pretty beefy, but not quite as beefy as the M series. It is not designed to be a field work machine, but I am sure it will do fine if you need it there.
Do what you want it is your machine!
