Pulled the trigger on a new Kubota Grand L5460

[Little Tim]

After countless hours of reading thru forums, watching reviews, looking at the dealers in person, talking with sales people. I finally convinced myself to put a down stroke on one today. Once I decided on a Grand L60 cab today, then I had to pick between a 54hp or 60hp which took me at least another hour . Dealer is really busy so won’t be putting it together and delivering til week after next.
And I was so close to picking the 60hp, as they were going to let me have it for $1,900 more. But my common sense side told me I could get a much needed attachment for the difference . The Kubotas are so expensive anyways.
I almost went with the MF2860 M deluxe cab. They have so many standard features and still less money than the L5460 with nothing other than R4 tires and 1055 loader.

Had the same dilemma but in my case, I chose the L6060. It's been my experience after owning 7 tractors, bigger is always better for the work I do.

In any case, welcome to the forum! I'm sure you will love the L5460!

You're gonna like that machine. My L4060 while less HP, has been a reliable workhorse.
Disappointed to see that they still (seemingly) use the crappy incandescent work lights on the L60 series. I swapped them out for 55w led lights, which make night work much easier, particularly snow plowing in my use.

All the research paid off!!! Congrats. You are going to like it. I looked closely at the Grand L's before my purchase and they are nice machines.

I think you will love that Kubota. I have a 4330 I’ve had 20 years never any problems. Also got the Massey 2960 had 3 years and also no issues. Neither of mine use DEF and I like that
