Further update on my injury. Turns out I wound up pinching a nerve root in my neck. The most severe pain I kept experiencing wasn’t in my arm (though I definitely did some muscle/tendon bruising there) but in my left shoulder blade and the Celebrex was of no help. The pain was so bad that at one...

Thanks Tussell King. You are definitely not being Captain Obvious and I truly appreciate all the knowledge sharing by the members here (and that you don’t make fun of newbies for asking basic questions). I do have a lever in the cab that I believe is for that rear remote. And there is another...

thanks. I’ll rotate that today and post a picture to make sure I got it right.

Are you referring to what I have circled below? Did I put this together wrong?

Thanks for the feedback and the advice on heat/ice. It’s weird how the pain sort of comes and goes. I’m also doing these nerve gliding exercises that are supposed to help. I’m definitely going to look into either a drill with a handle (or if that is an option I can add to that drill). I was so...

Just a follow-up to my brush gaurd install. You have to drill a couple of 3/8 holes in the factory front gaurd (which is probably 3/8 steel). Following the directions, I drilled the 1/8 pilot holes and then used a new 3/8 bit. I was using a Makita hand held battery drill. Just as the 3/8 bit...

I have hydraulics for my backhoe but I don’t know if that counts as a rear remote. Here is what the back of the tractor looks like:

Thanks for sharing. I only have a single rear remote on my L6060 and am just ordering the top link now. If I went with something like that Land Pride model, with the hydraulic side-to-side, I am assuming I would need another rear remote. If that is the case, do I have to get that from the dealer?

I have several acres that have a number of trees (black walnut) and every spring there are always a number of branches that came down over the winter. I was thinking that I could use a York rake to kind of pull all of these together, and then use my grapple to load them into a dump trailer. Is...

Thanks for all the feedback. I would be using the rake more clearing land, cleaning up debris from all the trees, and eventually spreading topsoil. I just got my driveway paved last month, so no need for driveway grading/spreading.

I am considering picking up a 3-pt York rake for my L6060. Any recommendations on size/weight/brands? I’m about to order a hydraulic top link so I don’t think I need one with hydraulics, but it seems like gauge wheels are a popular option. Also, my friend has a B2601. Is it possible to...

I never replied to this but this is what I have been doing lately and it has been great. Also, a friend of mine has had same experience with getting the grapple connected/disconnected on his B2601 (I actually sold him my old B2601 grapple once I got the L6060) and he told me that he disconnects...

Not sure if this is the right forum to ask this, but I have been looking at dump trailers for my farm. I was originally thinking of a 6x10, but the cost to move up to a 7x12 isn’t that much more. My Durand could pull either, but the bigger trailer is rated at 12000 lb. and someone told me that...

Agree with the whole discussion. I think think of the Grand L series as a budget-minded tractor, and if Kubota is offering the air ride seat as an upgrade, they should also offer a more elegant solution for the seat safety override.

Thanks for all the responses. I don’t have any button to allow the PTO to run if you are not in the seat. I did a search and saw some ideas about how to install a switch to override the safety switch if you have the air-ride seat but for now, I just used a small wire prong to close the circuit...
