M7060 Creeper Gears

I think he will find the install cost prohibitive.

This bolts onto the side of the transmission and I believe cost is around $700.

That would be weird. That would have to stick out some distance like some kind of a tumor.

Poor choice of words. It is a cassette that replaces a cover on the side of the transmission. It basically plugs in and is I believe totally inside the
transmission. Very easy install is what I read. I may put it on my 7060 for snowblowing.

I am not saying my B2150 is apples and apples with this discussion. I will say that my creeper range on the B2150 is VERY useful and makes it a far better snowblower tractor.

Old thread, but here's my experience with adding creep speeds. This was on a different Kubota M series model, but the overall situation was about the same. The tractor came with 8 speed transmission (4 high and low). I bought a rear mount Orsi flail style ditch bank mower for use on the machine. When mowing ditches with this mower 1-low was often just a bit too fast, - I was either scrambling to keep up with mower position adjustments or riding the clutch.

After a while I burned out the clutch.

I ordered the creep speed kit and had the dealer install it for me. I wish I had ordered the tractor with it from the start, but didn't anticipate the ditch bank mower issue. With the creep speeds installed, the ditch bank mowing is much easier and I do a much cleaner job as I drop down into creep when necessary.

Anyone who says creep speeds aren't useful probably hasn't done any work where the lower speed options are relevant. If you think you might find creep speeds useful, you almost certainly will.

Here are some photos of an Orsi RB215b on a different tractor.

Creep speeds from .1 to .9 mph are also needed in poultry houses running a caking machine.

Too bad you can’t add creep to a JD like you can a Kubota.

What's really too bad is, it cost so much for those tractors, it was a $200.00 option on my AGCO's, and I didn't have to put it on.

I've found it very handy for many jobs, like running my stump grinder.

I use mine quite a bit but when I ordered the tractor, I ordered it with the creep speed option and it came from the factory with it. It also came with the 540-6 spline and 1000 RPM 21 spine pto shafts. Use that too. Real handy for running a grain leg when loading grain bins. My M9 cab has every option available on it but a good radio. The Kubota radio is junk. Don't listen to the radio much so not an issue.

Keeps appreciating in value too as it's a pre 4 unit.

No dry clutch either, hydraulic wet pack shuttle.

The trans in my JD 5115M I bought used : was a $5k option new from factory that has 32spds & 16 additional speeds of creep.

They are very rare because of the price & only a few applications where it’s needed.

Kubota is good bit lighter unit in weight but a much more affordable tractor
