Grand L40 or L60

[amigauser]

I believe both Messicks and Barlow deliver, have you considered them?

You can also try Emerich's in upstate NY as they deliver into New England states and have better pricing than the local CT/MA dealers...

fwiw & imho,
I am waiting on the 60 series for one reason and one reason only. The cab of the L6060 is 20% larger than the cab on the L5740. The cab details have been a make or break part of my decision. I honestly prefer the Deere 4520 Cab, however, I prefer the rest of details on the Kubota Grand. Expect an 8% cost increase on the new series from what I've been told...

Regards, Matt in Virginia
Merry Christmas to all...

A larger cab would be nice. When I go from our L5740 to our M8540 I sure appreciate the extra room. I am only about 5'9" though and can swivel my seat, put my feet up on the door frame and lie down with my head in the corner, pretty comfortable; more room on a 6060 even better. I however cannot use left foot brakes, so I got the L5740 a few months ago.

I also really like the John Deere cab, but again, left foot brakes and looked quite a bit taller, more difficult to get through our woods.

"I have not, I can't imagine delivery or the fuel for me to get them would offset any cost savings.
Edit: Just left a message for Messicks. We'll see, but I hate to waste anyone's time."

I just went through the process of purchasing a new tractor. I didn稚 deal directly with Messicks or Barlows, but went onto Tractorhouse and found prices for the models of interest throughout the U.S. To my surprise, I found that I could buy a new tractor from the midwest or east coast and have it shipped to Colorado where I live for less than what the local dealer was offering me. When I brought this to the local dealer痴 attention, he came down in price. I知 glad he did, because he is a good local dealer. Anyway, don稚 automatically rule out buying new at a distance and having it shipped. Also, there is another poster (Bandit67) who lives in Colorado and swears by Barlows. Check his threads. Good luck. Let us know how you make out.

While we decided and put a deposit and got the paperwork from Messicks for a:
L3540 HST+
R4 Tires (filled beat juice)
L724 loader
HD Round back bucket with bolt on cutting edge

Would have loved to add the BH92 as well, but that will have to come later.
Thanks for the help everyone.

Congrats, the Grand L's are a awesome tractor.

Great tractor, and I think you will be happy you chose the 724 loader. It's a real nice heavy duty unit.

Merry Christmas, Bill

Congratulations, that is a nice little tractor, believe you will really like it.

Now the waiting game begins. Congrats. Once you get it take the time to really learn how to use the HST+ system.
