Finally took delivery (picked up) my L6060 yesterday am! Super excited. I had waited a long time for the 3rd function valve to come in but it kept getting pushed back by kubota. I finally said I wanted the tractor and they could ship me the valve kit and I’d install myself.
Compared to my old JD4300 this thing is a Cadillac! (Do we still use Cadillac as the gold standard?)
anyways. I’m sitting here at 6:30 drinking my coffee on the back porch and reading my operators manual. (Very out of character for me. Please don’t tell my wife). Lol
On my short to do list is to take it and have the rear tires filled at some point. I hate having to have a rear implement attached at all times to use the loader. I know a rear implement /
ballast will almost always improve balance but the filled tires will often make it not totally necessary (at least I think).
next want to look at installing some nice led work lights on the rear and maybe add to the front. I work a busy schedule so the ability to drill some beans after sunset is important. If anyone has any recommendations (YouTube videos or other advice) for the type of lights and some guidance on the install feel free to share.
looking for a hydraulic top link to utilize one of the two sets of rear remotes. Whether bush hogging or pulling the drill the top link adjustment via hydraulics will be sweet.
also shopping for a grapple. I’ve read that the wicked grapple from EA is the way to go. I little pricier than some options but a buy once / cry once implement.
lastly, and by request of my 10 year old son... a radio. I mean there is a hole that was made for it. Can you really leave it with a blank face plate ?
pictured it next to the old JD just for comparison.
