I own an 2011 L5740 HSTC with 251 hours on it. Its basically a new machine, always stored inside, maintained meticulously not a scratch on it. I also own a 2019 L5460 HSTC with 100 hours on it. It to is almost a new machine. I leave the L5460 at my cabin for maintaining my mile long driveway. The L5740 stays at my house for driveway work. I am building a new house and shop and will be getting down to one house to take care of. I will only need one tractor once complete so I am contemplating which tractor I should part with. The 5740 doesn't have any emissions on it which is nice. The problem is that I like them both a lot. There are very subtle differences between the two so its hard to chose. This is such a first world problem I know! What do you guys think? Part with the 5740 or the 5460?

I second that, but one wonders if there will come a time when the rest of the country goes kalifornia and all those tractors must be parked or have a dpf added.
Probably a long way off, so my vote is the non-dpf tractor, just for the added reliability alone.

Honestly, I'd keep whichever one I liked better.

As someone who owns both, what do you think about the changes between the 40 and the 60 series? Is the air flow from the heat/AC a lot better in the L5460? Any other big improvements?

I haven't had a chance to really spend any time in a 60 series Grand cab. Just wondering how you'd compare the two.

There is very little difference between the two tractors. The 5460 is maybe a bit quieter and the cab has a bit more room. I don't really notice much difference in the hvac systems of either machine. Like I said earlier they are both great machines. I like the idea of parting with the emissions with the 5460. I am thinking what I might do is just list both of them for sale and whichever one sells first forces me to keep the other one.

Sell both and buy a Compact Telehandler with a SSQA: Compact telehandler and V519 Compact Telehandler
