Overall width of Grand L 6060 with R-4 tires

[genze]

If there is anyone on here with the Kabota grand L 6060 with the industrial tires?

Could you please measure what the overall width of your tractor is from outside of tires two outside of tires.

The Kabota website says 67.3 minimum but it doesn't mention if that's industrial tires or ag tires

Thank You

I'd say off the cuff 72"!!!

I'm ordering some implements like box grader and rear blade, snow blower etc.

And I would like to be positive because I want to order a little wider than my tracks.

The rears on my L4060 with R4s are 72". Same frame as the bigger Grand Ls, but I think bigger tires on the bigger machines. Mine aren't in quite all the way. I think they are set wide enough for tire chains, but not sure.

Pretty sure my fronts are pretty close to the rears. Haven't actually bothered looking to see how adjustable the front rims are. An given how muddy it is with the bit of snow we have melting off I'm not going up to the barn soon to measure & check.

Ok, thank You

Seems odd for example that Kabota would design their snowblower for that particular machine at 74 inches which barely covers the tracks by an inch .

Seems like in an ideal world it be nice to have like an extra 3 inches on each side of the tires.

I just checked my Owners Manual. I have a L5460 but the owners manual covers the L6060. On page 83 there is a chart showing the distances between the centerlines of the rear tires for ag tires and R4 tires. Since the rear wheels are adjustable. The center to center distance you are asking about could be 53.5", 54.9", or 59.1" depending upon how your rear wheels are set up. Measure the width of one of your rear wheels and add it to the numbers provided. This will be the width of your tractor.

You did not mention if you have 4 wheel drive. The Owners manual states:
Front Wheels (with 4-wheel drive)
Front tread can not be adjusted.
Do not turn front discs to obtain wider tread.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, for help.
My problem is my tractor is on order so I don't have any tires or wheels to measure.

And I'm not sure after taking those measurements in the book do I add the whole width of a r-4 or half since they're talking about a center measurement.

Mine is 4 Wheel Dr.
thanks

You'd add half the width of the tire, per side.

R4 wheels are sometimes offset. Those centerline numbers may be for the R1s. Best to ask the dealer what the width is. If they don't know it they should be able to find out.

Centerline wheel spacing numbers are the same regardless of tires. They usually specify min and max spacing called "tread." You can take the tire size and add the width number (14.9" for example) to the "tread" on the spec sheet and get the full outside to outside measurement. (Same result as what ericm979 describes above as half per side.) I have found "on paper" measurement to be very close. If you need closer "on paper" measurements then manually measure the real width of one rear tire at side points which you want to go by--- in other words whether you care about tread width, overall tire casing width, etc. In any case just add the tire width to the tread quoted in the tractor specs. The spec sheet for your 6060 on the Kubota site shows min as 52.2 and max of 56.3. With 14.9 tires you then have min width overall outside of 67.1" or max of 71.2." If your R4 tires are wider or different width than 14.9 just add the tire width to 52.2 for min and 56.3 for max. Note your spec table shows "overall width (min tread)" to be 67.3" which is 0.2" wider than just adding 14.9 to 52.2. I have no idea why. I doubt that your concern is in tenths of an inch anyway.
