Which Tractor to Bu: L4060 GST, M5660 SUHD, M6060 HD

[tractorfan17]

Hi,

I am looking to buy a tractor (for landscaping) that has the following minimum features:

40 hp
33 pto-hp
implement hydraulic flow of 10 gpm
loader with lift capacity around 2,700
backhoe
ease of attaching implements like box blade, post hole digger.

I noticed some good tractors, L4060 GST, M5660 SUHD, M6060 HD.

How do those three Kubota tractors compare? which one is better to buy that has multi uses?

And, how do they compare to John Deere 4044R? Which ones are better implements in performance than JD tractor?

I am not familiar with all Kubota tractors, so please let me know if you think of other models that better meet my needs.

Thank you.

None of the L models have the GPM you want and are considered a compact tractor. Will not lift what you are asking of the loader either.

The M models you are looking at are Utility tractors, larger and heavier machines. The M5660SUHD is considered an economy tractor vs the M6060 is more deluxe.

I think that it would be best for you to actually go and see & sit on these to get a MUCH better idea of what you are looking at. The L models and the M models are 2 very different animals.

Good luck in your search.
