Greetings,
I am looking to add a tractor to the l3800 and looking at a 60ish hp tractor with a cab . Use will be: being more comfortable in the winter, snow work, road maintenance, pasture mgmt, skidding logs, general earth work, eventually raising beef. Considering the new or used MX6000, M5740 (used) or 6060, or L 5740 (used) or L6060.
Am I understanding the main differences as listed below.
MX 6000 ($$)- similar functionality of the M 60 series but less weight, smaller footprint, more maneuverable and available with HST or synchronized trans w hydraulic shuttle, approx 2000# loader lift capacity
L60(series) ($$$) HST + trans, possible mid mount PTO. Essentially the same lift capacity front and back as the MX 6000. more creature comfort options and more cost.
M60 series ($$), taller, heavier, slightly less maneuverable, synchronized Transmission with hydraulic shuttle shift, more three-point lift capacity, 2500# Loader lift capacity
Thanks.

near her. We have two properties will hills so it’s just easier all around. I think also depending on what you drive and what equipment trailer / implements you have if you go bigger than an MX or an L and it’s more bigger stuff….haul capacity can start to be an issue…it was for me. I’d love to have the M it’s a different class of tractor in my mind, and I really want one, but the transmission made the bulk of decision for me. I just had to come to terms with my priorities for my use. Seems like you already identified the main differences in you OP. Make a DA if not sure.
