When to expect a new Grand L Series

[Tractor_Chunks]

I'm curious if anyone knows how often Kubota updates their Grand L Series and if/when we might expect updated versions of that series.
I know they just did their 60LE, but I don't really consider that a new line.
Looks like the Grand L60 series came out in maybe 2013?

No way to know.

Kubota usually updates series after about 5 years if competitive conditions indicate such need.

Still, no way to know.

We're 5 years closer to the update then we were when it came out. If they update every 5 years it's a year away. If they update after 8 it's 3 years away. It's probably not 5 years away. What new features would you expect/want that isn't in the current model? The Grand L has most of everything I could imagine wanting.

Agreed, and the Grand Ls are technologically competitive with the comparable JD series (aside from the lack of EPTO on the L6060).

No idea. Improvements all around?
More rear remotes?
Maybe, like they've done for the smaller tractors, some options will become standard and more built-in to the design, like a single-lever hose coupler.
Things that used to be considered fancy options also tend to become a lot cheaper after they're considered standard.
$3k for the BH92 hydraulic thumb? Ouch.

4 wheel drive indicator on display.

Move PTO switch so you don’t hit it with elbow.

More seat travel for us “bigger” people.

LED lighting as standard.

Snow option (low profile flasher/beacon).

Factory brush guard option. I’d hardly call the one they have a brush guard!

R14 tires as an option. Maybe they do now but they did not when I purchased June 2020.

3PH lever lock so I can lock it in down position when BH installed.

Those options would get me to consider upgrading my tractor.

I'm going to add to the wish list:

Some type of creep function accessible from the back of the tractor - useful for backhoe work and for connecting implements. Seems JD has such a feature.

Any advancements in noise reduction (inside and outside the cab) would also get my attention.

...and the ability to force a regeneration if PM% is > 90.
