Nice tractor. After fighting yellow jackets all summer that cab looks appealing!
Got my New 4760

Congrats!
Fourth L60, I think. John, Stu, and mine that I know of.
Mine only has 10 hrs on it (just got it) but really liking it so far. I almost bought the l4760 but decide to go for a cat I II version. Probably doesn't really matter, but it got stuck into me head and the price was so close.
I don't have a cab, but it seems like the L60 has a nicer cab setup than the L40.

I believe they have more room and are a bit nicer from the pictures I have seen and a quick look at one on the lot though I haven't been in one.
I really like they have eliminated the clutch too.

I didn't realize that they got rid of the clutch, I use it on mine frequently when starting heavier pto implements like the brush cutter or hay rake etc.
The farmer that farms part of my place asked me a while back why my tractor had a clutch (being a hydro) and I really didn't have a good answer as to what it would be used for. Really it's just a personal preference, I'm just more used to a clutch.

Yeah, I guess it is just what you are use to, my L5030 then L5740 are the only tractors I have ever owned with an Independent PTO that was affected by the clutch, so it just never made any sense to me on an HST. Our 8540 pulls a pretty heavy ten foot cutter and I just let it idle down to a reasonable RPM and engage the PTO, have done the same thing on tractors as old as in the 60's and never had a problem yet. I did like the system on one of our Case tractors as it had a notch you moved the lever into and left it for several seconds to let the cutter begin to spool up before moving to full engagement.
