$2425 for the 60” from Messicks. $2100 for the 55”. Both in stock.

I’m sure the 55” would be fine but I liked that the 60” has the tines gusseted. The weight penalty is worth it for me knowing my habit of letting stupidity and poor judgement get the best of me.

I’ll give a review once it dries out a bit here.
I have the 55" and it's been solid so far, but I do wish that I went with the 60" since it looks a little bit beefier with only slight weight increase.

Got the radio installed, sounds like shiznit, but I don't plan to be making long drives with it, better than wearing head phones, I can keep my hat on. I found a USB 3.0 +C module that replaces the cigarette lighter, which the LE doesn't come with, and a wireless charging mount that attaches to the window and dash, so will be all set when out in the field.

Now to finish the lights, scratch that, START on the lights, and install the cruise control

Cool beans, yeah on sound too. The speakers are not Bose for sure. Lol.
Where did you find the use module at ? I left that off my list as would never use the round type.

Tested out with Polaris down the hill today. Wife will probably stab me in my sleep now. Shit ton of trees and limbs from winter down there. 50 out but still early, i Guess.

Oh it looks like that by barn too. Dude that delivered my tractor on the 14th valentines day waxed it. Not so clean now. Im just impatient. Rode Harley out to Hinckley réservation to appease myself with warm weather.

Awesome. Been there. Hope the spousal unit understands why we do it. For the forum, now is where I’d love to hear everyone chime in about tire type and traction. At least it was not with the tractor on steep slopes and full load…been there too and wrinkled the seat. Only thing that makes it worse at my house is when the dog runs through it and I let her in the door first. Oops. 😉

Has anyone switched their panel display units to Us for Mph and gallons instead of Liters ? I was trying it and stumbled on to a screen where you can.

With tractor off hold the display button
turn the key on till the display lights up
you will see a new screen with letters. Tap button till you get to J then hold. You will see your options then Mertric or Us. Choose what you want Hold button Turn the key off.
Now it will be changed on restart.

What I did today....

I was just thinking a few days ago how annoying it was to have the dash displaying metric equivalents. I had the manual out a day or two before that with no luck. Thanks for your post!

Yeah… That’s exactly what I do NOT want to do. Sometimes no way to avoid; just have fix later.
I had to unload the grapple from my pickup somehow. Either the Kubota or my Raptor was getting muddy and I already had some lighter tracks from the tractor so the choice was made.

Fortunately my wife doesn’t care. She knows sometimes it can’t be helped. I just try to keep what’s visible from the street from looking like a disaster. I’ll fix the mud pit when it firms up.

I was talking to à buddy who recommended Kubota about me lucking in to that screen. He said if à person buys the 150 dollar service manuel it goes over this. I guess this is a dealer service screen. I was holding button trying to find another screen like I did to set the clock. Looked at all the letters randomly and saw units. I don't think I need to know the rest. I like to pass on information. I am always happy to get help as well.

Felled, limbed and skidded about 1.5 cords of tamarack firewood trees to the bush work/loading area.
There we'll cut to 8 ft lengths and haul out on the trailer to pile it near my driveway. There a neighboring firewood processor/seller will bring his processing rig and buck/split it up for me. His PTO firewood processor is run by a Kubota L4060.

I agree. But at $300/cord to buy processed firewood and only needing 4 cords a year it's worth a few days toil on the machine.This little tractor handles itself exceedingly well in tight larch bush quarters and deep snow. Easy on fuel. Those pallet forks are really versatile at log handling (and getting me un-stuck).
The trails I use for dog walking almost daily. It's been a bit of a challenge keeping up with snowblowing the trails and drive this winter, though. But now the weather has settled a bit those trails are frozen deep having been cleared all of this rather cold winter. So no rush, a cord a week easy as she goes including cutting to 8 footers and hauling out on the trailer too. Done by April and a trip or 2 with the chipper for the limbs.

Got my quick hitch today so I was able to size and cut the pto for the WC-68 chipper. Tried it out on the Christmas Trees that the kids had. I believe I'm really going to enjoy the new equipment.

Pulled some Tarzan vines out of trees a few weeks ago. Was rolling and folding them onto the burn pile, one end slipped out and landed right on the hood. Dang it.
