5460 headed my way

[buck12]

After much looking, advice from TBN, and thinking, I have ordered a Kubota Grand L 5460 with cab. It will be equipped with radio, FEL, third function valve, one rear remote with float valve, rear work lights, square back bucket, and a 6 rotary cutter. I decided not to fill the tires for now. I hope to have it delivered sometime next week. I will keep my Mahindra 2615 for work in the woods. I will post pictures upon arrival.

Congratulations on deciding what you want. I use an RCR2672 with chain guards, had it for nine years still looks and works great. Are you going to have them put loader hooks on? My dealer welded mine on no charge or you can get some from Kens Bolt on and DIY.

You will love it. Great tractor

How much land will you be mowing with it?

I have hooks on the Mahindra. I didn’t have the dealer add the hooks on this tractor. I will probably do it myself later. I doubt the bucket will be on much once I get a grapple. I do need to get a price on a rotary cutter chain guard before delivery.

I have 72 acres of which about 7 will be mowed fairly regular and about 15ish once a year.

I run a L6060, I was going to get a 6 ft rotary cutter, but at the last minute changed my order to a RCR2596 pull type.

Glad I did, but honestly wish I went with a 12ft batwing now. I have to mow the pastures once every two weeks or so.

I may buy a dual spindle 96 in a couple of years but I needed the 72 any way for some areas. Besides I wound up spending far more than I intended at this time. I set out to get a 4760 and somehow wound up with a 5460. How does your 6060 handle that cutter?

Makes sense, there are a few spots that being 3 point mounted would help. It handles it like a champ, really can’t tell it is back there. It will cruise down the road like it isn’t behind, as well as mowing. Only thing is when in the tallest and thickest grass I can hear the turbo just a little, but never bogs down. I plan on getting a 12 ft batwing next year sometime.

Signed the paperwork today and my Grand L 5460 will be delivered tomorrow. I asked a lot of questions here on TBN and received a lot of good advice. I hope to be mowing this time tomorrow in a cab with AC.

Congrats! Very exciting. It is great to have so many smart folks here offering their guidance.
