Well - If you want me to load the pages from the Rim Guard site that lists the gallons of Rim Guard or the pages from my OP Manual - I will. I know what the tractor weighs and the associated component weigh. I'm satisfied. I'm sorry that you some how got ahold of the wrong weights. My Op manual lists the FEL @ 1543. The weights for the tractor, rear blade, loader, grapple come directly from the associated Op manuals. Since Kubota lists their tractors dry - I used the capacities of all fluids to come up with that weight.

You think what you want - I know the weights. BTW - see the weight for each listed component that are ALWAYS on the tractor. Subtract whatever you want - the total tractor, as I operate it, weighs 10,100 pounds.

And NO - I don't wear steel toed shoes when I weigh. Likewise, I don't strip down bare when I step on the scales at the Dr's office - do you??

Two years ago I drove the tractor into the ADM(Archer Daniels Midland) grain scales in Cheney. That's where I got the weight - + or - 20 pounds.

Here is the list of my tractor and associated weights -
Tractor - - - - - - - - - - 4785
Grapple + hardware - - 850
fluids - - - - - - - - - - - 350
Loader - - - - - - - - - - 1543
Rear blade - - - - - - - - 1100
Rim Guard - - - - - - - - 1550

TOTAL - - - - - - - - - - - 10,178

I was a tad surprised. Needless to say - the grain scales had BETTER be right. And I don't mean for my tractor either.

I think a lot of us might be surprised if we had a facility where you could accurately weigh stuff. I was.

I ordered an M7060HDC12 the bill of lading shows 8991 pounds, that includes tractor, loader, bucket, cast center rear wheels, radial tires, loader valve, grille guard. That is before I add liquid to the rear tires and three sets of wheel weights. Now that I have about 140 gallons of windshield wash antifreeze and three sets of 164# weights, that girl has put on some weight since I took her in! I agree that 10,000# is not out of the question at all.

Exactly - Like Tractors - I have 68-70 gallons of Rim Guard in each rear tire. Now, remove that bucket - add an 850 pound grapple plus an 1100 pound rear blade and then see what Big Daddy weighs. It's no wonder - each time I hit a pothole, the tractor grunts a bit - ha, ha.

Dealer couldn't find another dealer that would part with there stock, in mean time more research made decide to go with radials for $300 over the industrial, also felt better that Alliance is a division of Yokohama tires and the farmpro is a lower price radial, which gives a better ride than industrial and will put more tire on the ground. I also read that another user had trouble with industrial tires clogging in clay and letting him slid sideways. I filed my finance app an got approved. Order the $89 messicks radio and Kubota steering knob. I kinda over did my Xmas for me, but you only get old once.

Please post pictures of it when you get it.

YOGOO. Pure Gold

The rear blade & the rim guard is 2,650lb.

I can’t find Rim guard locally so I went with biodegradable RV antifreeze.

I understand my 7060 is around 7,500 with the loader on & only air in the tires/ no attachment.

Thanks.

Actually, I actually wear the lightest t-shirt I can find, parachute material shorts, and flip flops because I have a belly and I need the number to be as low as possible

I believe the bill of lading tells me the 72" bucket is 400#, I do have a Land Pride SGC1560 grapple as well as a Land Pride RBT3584 blade with all three hydraulics. That would weight the ole girl up a bit more for sure. I usually use the grapple and blade on my L6060, the M7060 hasn't been used much yet. I have a few tractors to chose from for any given task.

 

[Turbys_1700]

The FEL's on these utility tractors are heavy. My T4.75 FEL is around 1,000# and the mounting brackets are 300#-400#. Then you add the bucket or front attachment of your choice and you are in the 2K plus range. Fluid in rears is another 1,000# give or take. Big toys for big boys. Well...in my case..old, fat, and bald added to the description.

I've had to lose quite a bit of weight to have this hip replaced last year. I always take off my belt and slip off my shoes when I go to the doctor to weigh. Pockets are empty also. Always had a weight issue but healthy otherwise.

Funny how that works, we want our chics to be light and our tractors to be heavy. Oh wait a minute...is the "pound me too" crowd going to jump all over my schmitt now?

You will love it. I do question the tire choice though. Unless you are working around or crossing lawns most of the time I would stay with AG tires, Ag ones at that. The reason is you will never be able to put all your power to the ground with R-4s, which is the reason you rarely see tractors of this size with them.

Not everyone is blessed with rich bottom land soil..
I'd say that for any tractor it is the type of soil that determines what kind of tire works best. R1standard lugged Ag tires wouldn't do very well in our sloping sand & gravel type of soil here. A lot of the western states need the contact area of the Industrial R4s for traction and stability. When things are done right, the R4 tire width is matched to the tractor's size, weight, and HP.

My experience is R4 give you neither traction nor stability. I have both, and will never have R4 again.

Our JD 2640 has R4s & we’ve never stuck it or punctured a tire: we have on others with AG tires so this steered my decision.

Granted Georgia red clay is different from other soils.

As you know, the intended applications should dictate the use.

 

[hseII]

Your statement of having a 10000# tractor is a bit misleading. Your tractor and loader weigh 6685#. Rim Guard on the size tires you have add only about 1000#. So you must have been carrying your grapple in your bucket with the rear blade and you in the seat to get 10,000#. The loader weighs 920# plus bucket weight FYI. Generally when you weigh yourself, you dont have steel toe boots, insulated coveralls, and a loaded tool belt. Lol

According to the Kubota literature I have seen on 7060s, the 1154 loader indeed weighs 1,500 lbs including the mounts. I’ve never weighed mine, but I have no reason to doubt these numbers.

Kubota | LA1154E

As far as the tractor weight,
5027 lbs for an open station.
5380 lbs for a cab model.

Agree, in a yard R4 is better, but not in mud, snow, or sideways on any slope.

We don’t have much snow in West Georgia but the fields do get rotten this time of year feeding cows.

This year has been unseasonably warm so far.

Our son has been running R4's on his L3940 since new. It has over 1900 hours on it now. It's never been stuck in the mud. We set a record for rainfall here this year 67" plus. The ground around the main hay shed red clay and many areas it's sinking up to the rims on the fronts. The feedlot has about 8000 sq.ft. of concrete but the road to hay shed can get real messy. If had gone with R1's I feel sure he would have already had to replace them by now because of the time spent on concrete. Already had 8" of snow this season didn't get stuck then either but everyone has their own preference.

I had R4's on my m5040 for 10 years. They wear very well. Lots of snow...no issues

 

[RoyKing]

Kubota three choices fit most everybody needs, R4 exceed with road work, tread pattern clogs and doesn't self clear in clay. Radials provide more traction because they put more contact on the ground from being soft, the pattern and flex makes them self clear, They are better than AG on road, but won't last long as R4, but I've never worn a tractor down always loose them to hazards, and usually from a screw up. So for 95% of the time any will work, but sometimes I load up the weight and need that max traction, they also ride softer

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I never run my tractors on road or concrete. My experience is mud, snow, and hillsides. Dad told me this week he almost got stuck feeding the cows on flat muddy ground, he has the R4s. I had R4s, but went to R1. My only flat was with R4s.

Use what works for you is all you can do.

 

[ovrszd]

Those that run R4s and never get stuck are Blessed with very good working conditions.
