When I first posted about getting my 4060 someone asked me to post what I thought of the road performance of the rig. After working on the tractor to add some features I wanted I finally had the chance to take it for a ride up the road today with my new snow plow mounted as a load.
I used high in high range and it went to 22 mph at around 2500 RPM on level and a slight uphill stretch. That is about 6 mph more than my 3430 would do on the same stretch of road.
I dropped to low range of high to climb a hill at the end of our road. I could never climb this hill in high range with the 3430 unless I let up off of the HST pedal to the point that the speed dropped to around 6 mph and even in M I had to let up to top the hill. The 4060 went up the hill at 12 mph and never bogged down at all with the HST pedal fully depressed; quite a difference.
I absolutely love the high/low option that is available in each speed range. In this case it kept me from having to stop to put it back into M to climb the hill and made the climb much quicker.
One of the members posted about difficulty in changing speed ranges on his 4060. Mine is quite the opposite in that it is much easier to change ranges than the 3430 was. It moves easily between ranges and I have not experienced and hang ups between ranges.
