Kubota 7060 question

[jonsstihl]

so from the chart we get 18mph for the 8x8 and 24.3 mph at 1960rpm for the 12x12 I wonder what happens past 1960 rpm.

It won’t go past 1960 rpm in 6th gear, there’s an idiot box hooked up that limits the rpm.
Annnd, for what it’s worth, legally (here anyway) 40kph is the max speed permitted on road for a slow moving vehicle.

 

[jonsstihl]

Thats interesting. so if you set the hand throttle above 1960 and put it in 6th gear High range once you get to 24.3 mph the computer will reduce the rpm. Man, tractors are getting more and more complex.

I wonder if that 1960RPM governor is in the states as well?

Would the creeper gears be good for snowblower work that has been one of my apprehensions going to m7060 size machine instead of l6060 is not having infinite low gears for snow blowing.

 

[jonsstihl]

It would probably work okay. and since you are on snow, traction would be limited so you probably wouldn't overload the creep gears.

 

[RoyKing]

agree

I still wouldn`t give up the HST plus for a couple horsepower and a larger frame size. :shocked:

2 reasons I went with the M4 I can稚 stand the hydraulic whine of HST and probably the biggest is I wanted a buddy seat sometimes my wife wants to ride with and my nephews are always wanting tractor rides. Test drove one and with the power reverser and declutch button it is easy to drive. Just not sure how well the snowblower will work just got a deal on a pronovost inverted so this will be the first year not plowing and pushing back.

I agree with you on the HST and am only interested in gear drive transmission.
