I’m not holding it on relief for long - just the quick bump you’d use to snug a log or fully open before grabbing a pile. My concern isn’t the brief deadhead itself; it’s that when I do that, the backhoe circuit/lever feels loaded. From what I understand, with the hoe in neutral that shouldn’t...

TL;DR: New L6060 (51 hours). BH92 hydraulic thumb was repaired early on. Lately I’m seeing weird hydraulic behavior: when I max open/close the grapple (3rd function), it feels like pressure/flow is feeding back into the backhoe circuit. Dealer says Kubota told them I can’t have the backhoe...

Really appreciate the example and explanation! I did go and try it yesterday and the members are right it's a little rough to use float regardless of how the angle is setup. I honestly had more success just 'manually' adjusting the height and tilt as I went along! Still getting used to it and...

Ahh okay that makes more sense! It was a geometry issue! I think the teeth on mine are a little longer (and flatter) than the ones from your picture so will try it out carefully and see if it's even helpful. Thanks again for all the tips and guidance @McMXi and @North Idaho Wolfman

Thanks for your response! Again, please pardon my stupidity however, for my own insight I was wondering why it's not advised to do with a root grapple? I have a SGC1060 root grapple. Is it because it may bend or dig into the ground? Appreciate the insight on the relief valve - glad to know they...

Thankyou for this! And certainly am elated to be a part of the orange tractor family! She'll be putting in a lot of work as we start developing our land :) Great insight about the grapple - I actually didn't know I was allowed to tilt while in float (just thought it would move it out of float...

Hello all, hope you are well. New tractor owner here, got our L6060 delivered last week and am just working through getting familiarized with how to operate it as this is my first tractor. I have a few questions that im hoping to get some insight on by those who are more experienced than myself...
