    New L6060, what's wrong with my rear remote?

    The L6060 does not have those valve options from Kubota. The only two choices are the standard Double Acting, or Float. Sadly, they don't have self canceling or detent valves. I asked about other options when I bought mine and was told the top below were all I could use. (Unless you find...

    New L6060, what's wrong with my rear remote?

    I have an L6060 (3.5 years old now) with 3/all float valves. All three valves have the float detent when pushing the lever forward. Each moves easily forward and reverse, and don't take much force to go into float mode either, but enough you don't accidentally float when you don't mean to (maybe...

    Buying Advice Is it possible to go too big?

    I moved from TX to Central TN 3.5 years ago and bought 43 acres. We do have much more hills than you describe, but, nothing crazy here like I see within a few miles in any direction of me. I ultimately bought a L6060 cab, and have been really happy. The dealer almost talked me into the M7060...

    Diesel Additive - which one, and how much?

    I live in Middle TN, so we have high humidity all year, and the low for this year was 7, but that was a day only. I use Dee-zol from Bell Performance products. I haven't used any others, so I can't comment to better or worse. I found this chart helpful when I was looking for an additive, but it...

    Towing capacity

    I mentioned in an earlier post, but I use a Weigh-Safe hitch which has a built-in scale in the hitch. It gives me peace of mind. Here is one of their videos demoing load distribution vs stability. You can search youtube for other examples showing the same.

    Towing capacity

    When it comes to truck/trailer selection, there are some potential legal issues to keep in mind. I've seen it brought up here, but not explained. FMCSA (quoted below) states that if your vehicle has a GCWR of 26,0001 AND you are hauling a trailer with a GVWR of 10,001 or more (note these are...

    Towing capacity

    I personally use a Weigh-Safe hitch when pulling a tag trailer. They have a Gooseneck ball for OEM and BW, but not for Curt, or I would have that too. Might it be overkill? Maybe, but I would rather error on the side of safety and the money for it is peace of mine.

    Towing capacity

    I have a Kubota L6060HST with Cab, which is on the largest end of the CUT. All of these numbers are referenced from the manufacture manuals/specs, so hopefully this will give you some additional examples. My tractor with loader and bucket, but not 3-point attachments is already right at 7k lbs...

    Extend Wifi 300 Feet?

    I use the UAC-AC-M, not pro model, mounted on the outside of my garage and it easily covers the 300' to my barn. I put another on the barn with LOS to the garage and then ran the ethernet in to act as a bridge to an ethernet switch in the barn connected to some POE cameras. It works great.

    As a customer what is acceptable to you?

    I bought a Rest Performance bed on 4/30/21 and was charged the same day (5k). The website didn't say anything about delays/backorder, but I used the chat service and was told 4-6 weeks. Day after my order was placed, I got an e-mail invoice thanking me for my purchase that said 6-8 weeks. I...

    Got to use my DIY diesel generator,

    Was just about to post the same unit. Looks like you might find one for ~$10 cheaper if you shop around, but it's worth the cost at either price point. I have one as well. :) Pretty neat little idea; it's basically a large and loud non-contact voltage sensor!

    Dealers: how does mahindra do it and why do we pt up with it?

    Hearing these stories makes me so glad for my dealer. I bought a cabbed L6060 3 years ago and the dealer was great to work with overall. He didn't have one on the lot, but never tried to talk me out of ordering one. I told him all the features I wanted, gave me a quote with pricing breakdowns so...

    How the heck do you guys torque a cylinder nut to 600 ft lb? Rebuilding Bobcat combo bucket cylinder.

    I'm not sure if you are open to spending any money, but I bought a 3/4" digital torque adapter for this purpose. I knew my brush hog called for that level of torque, trailer lug nuts were 200, and the new gooseneck hitch I was installing on my truck needed 375. I would have probably settled for...

    Alternative to EA 55 Inch Wicked Root Rake Grapple ?

    Just an update for anyone wanting it, I heard back from Titan Attachments today. Below is the clarification I received. Hopefully it helps to clear up some of the confusion.

    How do you keep the trailer backup battery charged. (or do you)

    Good points. My truck did have the +12v active, but, the Diamond C trailer did not have the battery connected to any incoming power, so as you mentioned, it would never charge. As I mentioned, I added a solar panel and the Hopkins charger specifically for this purpose. They say it prevents...

    How do you keep the trailer backup battery charged. (or do you)

    It sounds like you need a bit more than that little panel for the GPS tracker, but I do believe you could build a new solution now much less than what you built then. Either way, I like your setup. It may not be for everyone, but personally, I wanted to ensure my battery was always present and...

    How do you keep the trailer backup battery charged. (or do you)

    You can order it an option on many trailers new (the solar maintainer). I bought a used Diamond C gooseneck last year, put in a new battery and added both a 1.8W panel with built in maintainer ($21.99) and also a Hopkins break away battery charger ($5.89). I only haul a handful of times a year...

    Alternative to EA 55 Inch Wicked Root Rake Grapple ?

    Not trying to beat this dead horse, but Titan Implement is in Decatur, TN. They make most, but not all of their stuff here in TN. I'm from the area and have one of their USA made brush hogs. (Messicks did a video and mentioned the Titan Implement Tiller is imported, but fully supported for...

    Anyone try to buy a trailer lately?

    It's worth the wait. Mine came in last week. I have only used it a bit, but it's been great so far.

    Should I cab or not. Getting ready to buy

    I have a Kubota L6060 with cab plus top and tilt kit. I can open the side window and reach through to adjust the top and tilt easily when attaching things. A little tricker to move the 3 point lift. Hopefully it won't be too bad for you. Make sure and get a long enough top link cylinder; the...

    Should I cab or not. Getting ready to buy

    Where in Middle TN are you heading? I live just north of Cookeville, TN. We bought a L6060 Cabbed tractor about 3 years ago and I haven't regretted it once. The AC works great when moving, however, sitting still on a hot summer day it goes warm pretty quick since there is no fan for the ac heat...
