Pulled the trigger... L5460HSTC

[Retired Iron Peddler]

After a long careful consideration and comparing prices and specifications on both a Kubota L5460 HSTC/FEL and a John Deere 4520 Cab/FEL tractor. I made my decision. It's a new Kubota L5460 which will fit all my requirements: Cab, hydrostatic transmission, 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, CAT II hitch with extending lower links, R4 tires, and still remain small enough to utilize the implements that I use with my present '06 Kubota L3830GST that I'm trading in. I'm having one auxiliary valve with remotes and a 3rd function loader valve installed for use with a grapple. Delivery is expected in about 3 weeks.

Congratulations on your new tractor, I am a big fan of the GL, had an L5030HSTC and now L5740HSTC with TnT, third function, wheel weights and air ride seat, I hope I'm done.

Yes, I'm looking forward to the new cab tractor. I mowed pasture with my present tractor yesterday afternoon and certainly would enjoy being inside an air conditioned cab away from the dust and chaff. I'm up early every morning usually by 4 AM. It's a habit I acquired during the 30+ years when I worked since I liked to have time for the three S's, enjoy breakfast with my wife (married 47 years), and be at work early and it has carried over into my retirement years.

Yep, I realize it's required on TBN and I'll post them when it arrives. The dealer has agreed to take a couple of photos of it when it arrives on the truck in the shipping "crate" and I'll post those too.
