Check the specs on the models very carefully, especially the loaders. The 54/60s can take the LA1055 which means you can pivot a ton pallet. Why? The rest of the specs, especially tires and how much beet juice goes into them tell the tale. I have the L5460 and wouldn't go less. If you use a...

If you're going for the 5 year no interest, crunch the numbers and you'll see how much more you'll be hit up monthly. You'll be surprised how little. The dealer will print you out all sorts of comparisons. Re: Rotary Cutter (brush hog). Get the inline shaft clutch ($210). Kubota PTO drives...

Easy to look up on Kubota Global: https://global.engine.kubota.co.jp/en/products/detail/26/ https://global.engine.kubota.co.jp/en/products/detail/23/ I'd start on these pages.

Ignition key location needs to be on the upper dash, not by your knee. Fuel fill on the right side of the cab is OK until the flasher lights are installed. No outside tool box. Had to go 3rd party. Step is useless for older folk. Now have a true step solution from 3rd party. Entry grab handle...

Go big or go home. For my rear port, I put a large diameter unit on. It also had to be long, say 22-32 inches. When you elevate something like a brush hog to drive to a different location, the flexing as you go over bumps puts a great thrust on the top link. The 1.5 or 2 inch won't hold up...

Another handy thing to have when your knee hits and snaps the key handle off is an inexpensive removal tool. The melt the end of a glue stick trick isn't reliable.

I also have a zerk clog tool. It's a small cylinder you pour a bit of hydraulic fluid in. Put the cap on and insert into the zerk. Hit it with a hammer and the pressure will blow everything out. Grease up and you're good to gol

I used to tow my 20' flatbed around with a pile of weight on it with a JD 1025R which is a similar class. Keep the FEL+Bucket on it to counter the weight. With all the stuff on it, you're only putting 300 pounds or so on the ball. Presume you have beet juice in the rear tires. These...

Using the High Performance. In the Starlink box, you should get a 3 foot cord that plugs into the power supply and has a RJ45 on the other end which goes directly into your third party router. I had one in my original Ver 1 as well. If you can't find it, they sell them on the Starlink site...

Correct. Using EERO mesh fed direct from the dish. If you can't turn off the 5GHz on the Starlink router briefly to connect the wifi to MyQ, that can be a problem. If you can, turn off, connect, turn the 5 GHz back on. Check the App and see if you can do that. Starlink routers are pretty...

Nope. I was a Beta on Ver 1 and they had me continue with the High Performance Ver 2. That's what's working fine with MyQ now.

No issues with my Starlink and MyQ. No special add on. Only potential glitch is MyQ is 2.4GHz only. You need to disable the 5GHz side briefly while it makes all the connections. BTW, I'm using an Eero mesh with a direct line from the dish/power supply. No Starlink router or ethernet...

I posted a solution for two cameras (solar powered and wireless) with the monitor plugged into the cigarette lighter socket. I've repositioned the front one so the back up lines align with the plates that snag the implement. The rear position of mine on the Amish Triangle is a bit awkward as...

The engines on the 40, 54, and 60 are the same with the difference in the turbo they put on it. You might want to check into adding a turbo, even third party. WRT the snow blower, I found my 5460 is quite adequate. you need a subframe, etc. I did add the diverter so I can adjust he angle of...

Attachments that don't dig too much or have too much drag weight can go to 72". I did use a 680 pound 60" grader/scraper on a JD 1025R and found the implement was more than the tractor. Now on my current 5460, it's amazing how much better I can basically flip a gravel road. I could easily go...

Agree, but the opening is limited, you have to rotate the shaft in hole on deck, and you have to use a flex socket to get onto the bolts. Greasing is awkward. Doable, but not easy.

I have a L5460 which a quick hitch is used to grab a RCR 1272 Brush Hog. It originally had the Grade 2 shear bolt. Problem is, unlike my now gone JD 1025R, the PTO isn't a soft engage. The brush hog has lots of inertia. Even at idle, I'd get a slam on engagement. Around ten times later, the...

I use back up cameras primarily for grabbing implements on the quick hitch and loader. Since they are solar powered, intermittent use through a 5 inch screen would likely be limiting. My setup is: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/cameras.62648/post-625972 For you, a larger...

I have a 40 gal boom/hose sprayer combo that I roll around the shop on a furniture dolly for storage and out to the tractor for the quick hitch. My experience is trailers for most everything except bigger tasks are not as good as just carrying it. The sprayer boom flips open, turn the correct...

I'm like many who tip past the maximum 220ish which causes the seat to bottom out. My cheap method to prevent the hard crashes is to stick pool noodle segments in. I believe someone posted this idea before but I didn't see a picture. A regular screwdriver is used to pop out the retaining...
