Wife and son are thinking of upgrading the L3940 to the L5460 or L6060, Open Station, no Cab. They all have the same engine except the L4760 is non-turbo. The wheelbase is 0.8" of an inch longer on the 54 and 60 over the 47. The L5460 and L6060 have a Cat. II 3pt hitch. Since the 5460 and 6060 are Cat. II is the rear end housing vastly different from the L4760 and down? There's also about 5" of difference in overall length. The extra weight has to be coming from somewhere.
The weight difference is 452 lbs. That's a fairly significant difference.
Right now we're thinking Open Station, FEL, 3rd Function, one set of rear remotes fluid in rear tires and maybe 2 sets of wheel weights and maybe the vinyl air seat.
They are also having a JD 4066R quoted but since it doesn't have the 2 speed ranges in each range I don't think it going make the cut. We actually thought it had it but the dealer said not that he was aware of and had never heard of it.
BTW: the L3940 now has about 1050 hrs on it and is almost 5 years old and has been trouble free except the one thing where the glow plugs weren't working correctly from the factory. That's the only problem it's had.
