Just bought an l4060

[sliderbuck]

Debated for several days on a new l4060 and did the deal today. Pick it up tomorrow. Cant wait. Anyone have a new one? Want to put a 3rd function on it but can't find one for the l4060. The loader joystick has a button built into it for full throttle. Would hate to eliminate that for the 3rd function.

If you want to change the title to "Just
you may be able to edit it for about 5 to 10 minutes.

There is a You Tube video I think you will find worth watching at

. It is Messicks and they even have a an ordering mechanism built in to this webpage ... sales of course being the object.. but still good info. They are on board with WR Long brand 3rd function kits and I think you will find the majority of 3rd ftn kits sold are that brand. No idea in the world whether they preserve the 'full throttle' thing ..and now that I think of it, why would anyone want a Full Throttle control built into or anywhere on a FEL joystick?

p.s.: the Messick's You Tube Video mentions a phone number at the end where you can call them and discuss details and ask questions.

Good video. I looked on the sites though and dont see one called out for the l4060. Never have had a loader with the full throttle button. May not end up liking it and remove it when installing a 3rd function kit. I could see it coming in handy though with loading and unloading things like round bales, dirt, gravel.

That's one hell of an upgrade from your Max 26XL!

Yeah it is lol. Night and day difference

the full throttle button is actually adjustable, you can set it to the rpm you want. what disappointed me was that it is spring loaded momentary so you have to keep your thumb on the button to keep rpm's up. it would have been handy to be able to run a pto implement with the button and be able to drop the rpm and let the autothrottle do its thing when moving around then be able to be back up to pto rpm with the flick of a button. think clearing driveways of snow down a residential street.

For the third function I chose the kubota OEM option because I like stuff that looks like it belongs. a nice clean install. I have never seen a wr long third function kit maybe they have the same look.

This was new to me too. It's not really a "full throttle" switch. Rather, it's a "throttle up" switch that will increase RPMs to a pre-set level for "loader work", etc.

I can see where that might be handy, but that does complicate the addition of a 3rd function button to the joystick. What does Kubota do if you have them add a 3rd function??

 

[sliderbuck]

Not sure what Kubota does if you add there OEM kit. Im getting ready to go pick it up and ill ask them. Sounds like OEM might be my only option right now.

If the question is does the OEM 3rd function kit delete the throttle up button, the answer is no. I used the throttle up control frequently when pushing into dirt and brush piles. I have mine set to 2000rpm in the control panel.
You're going to love your new L4060! After 7 years and 800 hours mine is still a joy to operate.
