Will it be coming to the states? Will it use the same loader as the 6010? Will it be physically larger or just more power?

- Kubota M108 FWA loader, 2014 Kubota M7060,Kubota MX 5100, Ford 1500, Kubota Bx25 , Kubota RTV900, Kubota ZD331 Zero turn mower.Kubota B1200 Grey to be restored.
Update: I am now showing 40 hours on the clock,,of which 36 would be "billable" ( working for it's diesel fuel......... lol nothing around here is free) Other than raising the seat assembly by two inches with blocks,,, and it could go up another inch, , I really do like the tractor, Have ballasted the rears which made a huge improvement in ride and handling.
The tractor shifts nice, I do like the shuttle it is smooth and very fluid like, nothing sudden, it handles my 72 inch rotary cutters very well, and seems to have adequate torque for the very heavy wet overgrown matted areas. I like the cab layout it is as big a cab as on My 108 Kubota and in my mind, better laid out. AC seems adequate, no real irritating squeaks or rattles. Electronic MFWD seems to shift in and out smoothly
To me, overall a nice beefy stout little tractor, reasonable on fuel about 6 liters per hour @ PTO RPM.

LiveRoll, How does your 6010 start when it sits overnight? I just bought mine and only have 10 hours on it but I notice that when I do a cold start the engine runs rough for 10 seconds or so and it smokes what I would consider excessive for a modern diesel engine, I am letting the glow plugs complete their cycle of about 10-15 seconds and the outside temp has been 50-70 degrees so not cold out.
Other then that issue it runs good, excellent tractor.

Yes, Mine does the same as well, it is like firing up and old Russian tank engine, smoke and rough, but it seems to clear up after a few seconds, and seems to go strong. I have about 80 hours on mine now and it has done everything right, no problems as of yet, other than the seat being much much too close to the floor, raised it 2 inches and will probably raise it one more. AC works well, I have been using the hyd shuttle for the majority of shifts and gearbox range changes. One thing I do notice that use of the parking brake is imperative! Just leaving it in gear, will not hold the tractor once shut down, with it having that hydraulic shuttle; like a normal geared tractor once nothing is running and in gear it will hold itself. Other than that, a sturdy, reasonable tractor. I would like to have the rear external TPH lever, but mine does not have one and I don't know if it is available as an option from Kioti, any response I get from their "help line" is an email telling me to call my dealer
Thanks for the info, I won't worry about it anymore, I agree on the 3pt, a external lever would be nice, I put a quick hitch on mine but trying to hook up the roto-tiller tested my patience the other morning, I am on flat land so parking brake not a big issue but I can see where it would be in the hills. This is my first tractor with shuttle and it really is slick to use with the loader, so much so that my skid steer is probably going down the road.
