Pulled the Trigger on L6060

[ProudVeteran]

Pulled the trigger on a new L6060 today with all the bells and whistles. Got a snowblower (rear) and Kubota 72 inch brush cutter. I have 36 acres at 7300(ish) feet in Larkspur CO. I got some great advice here and want to thank everyone.

I considered used but 0% and 4 years of warranty were too hard to pass up. Delivery is expected next week.

Dale at Front Range Kubota in Kiowa, CO is great! Ask about disabled veteran programs if you qualify!

Congrats on the new tractor....gonna be a long week waiting for it to show up

I know! Ugh..... Lol.

very good choice. I love my grand L. if I had the available money, I would have gone to the 6060. just curious, what kind of pricing did you get on just the 6060 or the 6060 with the FEL? if you don't mind.

 

[ProudVeteran]

Just barely north of 50k with FEL, Air Seat, Remotes, high amp, all lights, Bluetooth radio, Kubota blower with hydraulics, heavy duty cutter with chain guards, drift cutter, r4 tires, cab. Every option available I got. As a retired vet who is going to do some custom mowing and blowing comfort was key for me. I came from software engineering so I needed the toys lol. Kubota disabled vet program blew Deere away.

[virginiavenom]

I think you got a steal of a deal. nicely done.

Congrats neighbor! I live just north of you on 105. Getting ready to buy this week, probably from Dale as well. Any chance you checked out Universal Tractor in Lakewood? Since we are just about in between the 2 dealers I'm wondering which one will be a better partner if there are issues with the new purchase?

Congratulations, I have its predecessor L5740HSTC with third function, three rear remotes, wheel weights, TnT with a RCR2672 cutter, HR3584 box scraper, grapple, forks, tree puller, pallet forks and could stand a couple more items. No snow here, so not much tractoring in the winter dang it.

You are going to love it.

Thorny hello. We are new on Grimes. Everyone recommended front range so we ran them against Deere. Dale was amazing. Tell him Dean said hi.

Can't wait triple r. According to the weather guessers we get about 115 inches of snow a year here.

One of my sons is an EMT and ran off the road in one of our rare snow storms. I went and drove him in to work in my AWD; took about 90 minutes. By the time I got home neighbors had cleared my driveway and other along with our county road. Gotta be quick around here as everyone owns a tractor and snow is still kind of a novelty.

Here 12" qualifies as a "snow storm".

Yeah TripleR we come from TX. A dusting there brings the city to a grinding halt lol. Love it here in Colorado in the mountains.

I saw Dale yesterday and showed him your post, he hadn't heard of this site before. He got a chance to show off your post to a few folks who were there and then asked for a raise based on the new internet advertising campaign that he helped start. ;-)

Then I bought a tractor from him. I suspect it was a good afternoon to be Dale.

Pulled the trigger on a new L6060

I also live in Colorado, Black Hawk. My dealer is Universal Tractors. They have been great.
I own a B3350 which is a powerful small tractor but it has been having major problems with DPF so after one year of ownership and 100H I decided to change it to a L6060. The dealer gave me credit almost for the total value of the B3350 and implements. I know the dealer knew all the problem I had with the B3350 (which is not unique to me) but when he gave me a full credit that is top and in situation like that is when you know the quality of your dealership.
Congrats for you new baby and it seems you are going to get it before me. Mine will come in about 2 weeks.

Thanks Speedy. The tractor is at the dealer. They are waiting on the air seat. I am told it is coming home this week. I hope so! Yes pics will follow

Kubota disabled vet program

And when did they come up with this program?

 

[ProudVeteran]

No idea when the program started. No one acted like it was new but I did have to ask if they offered a vet program. Deere had one through the green fleet program but Kubota offered a noticeably higher valued program. I grew up with a 4040 and 4440 so I am not hating the green paint but a deal is a deal .
