I just got a new Grand L5460 cab about 3 weeks ago. I really like it overall. I haven’t experienced any issues with fel joystick. Has awesome hydraulics, very responsive and smooth. Seems to shift pretty well between H-M-L, and only has about 7 hours in it so far. I actually don’t really care...

I could’ve bought a JD 4052 R for at least $6,000 less than a Kubota Grand L 5460. JD didn’t even make it in my top 4 picks, ended up buying Kubota and I know I got a lot better tractor. The other 3 in my top 4 picks were MF 2860 M, Yanmar YT 359, and Kioti NS 6010.

Actually John Deere didn’t even make it into the top 4 choices for me. My top choices were : Massey Ferguson, Kubota, Yanmar and Kioti. I watched video reviews and reading on forums. The JD 4 series cab models had too many negatives. Having a 3 series cab on it with no corner windows, no...

When I was tractor shopping , I looked pretty hard at the Kioti NS cab models . They looked well built, and to me, I thought quite a bit beefier than the Kubota Grand L60. I did end up with a Kubota for a few other reasons, but Kioti was definitely a way better value. I got quoted $41,700 for an...

Check to see what the “filtered” side snorkel / intake boot looks like. If it’s got a pretty good coating of dust , it’s ingested some. I’m a former motorcycle / atv / SxS mechanic, and have seen so many machines that people neglect air filter maintenance.

Thank you guys. Yeah, definitely not much to like about the cost 😁

Well, I got it Friday morning! Other than moving it inside my storage building I haven’t tried it out yet. But hoping to use it a little over the long weekend.

Those Yanmars are nice. I was considering them while I was tractor shopping. And the only 2 things that kept them out of my top 3-4 final selection was them having a normally aspirated engine. And dealer network.

After a long wait , I’m finally going to get my new L5460 delivered Friday morning. But I have to work tomorrow, and just taking off an hour or two to meet them to unload, do paperwork and park it in the shop. So I won’t get to play with it til tomorrow evening. Other than the loader and square...

Well, sorry for all the indecisiveness / flakiness , but I drove over today to look at the L5460 all put together and finished . As soon as I pulled up and saw it sitting out front I was hooked !! 😂 So I’ll either be getting it this coming Monday (if they have room for it and another much bigger...

Nice. Did you end up getting it ? If so , how are you liking it ? I still haven’t backed out on my deal and asked for my deposit back. Not sure what I’m going to do yet. I think I’d likely be better off going with a smaller tractor, maybe like a DK series or a MF 1840 M. Think it would fit my...

Hoping I can get my cash deposit back on the Kubota and thinking I should maybe just get a Kioti NS6010 cab. $10,000 bucks less and that’s with R14 tires included and Kubota with Trac Loader 2 tires. And Kioti is built heavier , much stouter front axle and higher loader capacity.

I’m really second guessing my choice now on buying a Kubota. I came across some more negative issues on them, and not just one person having the issues, but several. I was concerned before about why the L5460 /6060 cab models weigh 300 lbs less than a JD 4052/66R cab, Kioti NS 6010 cab, MF...

You know I’m glad you brought that up ! I never even considered asking for tires and rims 😁. I do know Kubota is pretty proud of their tractors. The base price starts with no tires ! And it’s $3,100 for the Trac Loader 2 tires !! Yeah kind of crazy , come crated like a lawnmower .

The main reason I decided on the Kubota is for the HST + transmission. So I hope it’s as good as some claim. I actually didn’t even fire up or “test drive” any of the tractors I looked at . I’ll probably financially regret that I didn’t buy a new Kioti NS 4710 cab model with loader at the new...

I’ll always wonder if I should’ve bought the MF 2860 M like yours. I was just about ready to pull the trigger on the MF Saturday. The salesman I had been dealing with wasn’t there but said his boss would be. Well , I stopped in , took my second really good look at it. But no one was around and...

Thank you , so glad to hear all of that. 👍

I also really think I will love it . I’m hoping the emission system turns out not causing issues. That’s one reason I’m hanging on to my ‘07 Dodge , early model with the 5.9.

Thank you ! I researched quite a few tractors, and all of them had things I liked and things I didn’t . And likely would’ve been happy with every one of them.

Thank you . I may have went with the L 4760 or L 4060 had they been in stock, as I’m sure they would both have met my needs. Other than I’m at nearly 5,000 ft elevation, and thought it may be best to have a turbo. I may need to look into changing out the halogens, thanks for the tip.

Thank you guys ! Here’s a current pic as of yesterday:

After countless hours of reading thru forums, watching reviews, looking at the dealers in person, talking with sales people. I finally convinced myself to put a down stroke on one today. Once I decided on a Grand L60 cab today, then I had to pick between a 54hp or 60hp which took me at least...

I’m close to buying a new 2800 M with the FL2814 loader. But after reading about the flex in the loader / mounts, I’m a little concerned. I was kind of wondering when looking at it the other day. The mounts looked stout , but lots of leverage at the top of them. And I thought the loader arms on...

I’ve been researching 40-60 HP HST cab tractors . Seriously looking at the MF 2800 M, and a few specs the dealer and my online research haven’t answered. What is the turning radius and the top speed ? I found a spec that I wasn’t certain pertained to the 2800 M, for a turning radius of just over...
