Buying Advice Grand L6060 HSTCC real world experience?

sandalwood · Feb 2, 2015

Considering upgrade to Grand L6060 HSTCC (used primarily for snow removal)

Anyone with one of these that can provide feedback on real world experience:
1. problems (mechanical, electrical, emissions)
2. fuel economy
3. cab noise levels - need to be able to make and receive cell phone calls without shutting down engine
4. other issues a potential buyer should be aware of
5. something you would do differently if doing it again

Thanks

I don't have a 6060 but I believe there is a member that has two 6060's and a 5740 that he uses for snow removal, maybe someone else will remember his username.

Interested here too except Open Station.

On the making phone calls, consider putting in a radio with bluetooth or USB input. My sons said his iPhone rings through the speakers on the JD 5065M. I put a radio in it for him with a USB port but no Bluetooth and when his iPhone is connected to the radio the music mutes and he answers through the handset but a Bluetooth would allow you to talk through the mic on the radio and the person on the other end would come through the speakers.

There are plenty of aftermarket stereo options that will allow just what you described. Never thought about it in a tractor, but why not. Better chance in a tractor to need to be using both hands at the same time for things other than the phone.

I can talk on the phone without issue. Can only assume the newer cabs are equal or better.

What tires are you running on the 6060? I'm trying to get an actual width outside to outside with R4"s. I'm not sure how to read the specs on the kubota site.

Thank you
