    Post hole digger

    I'm relatively certain that the down pressure kits are available for every 3pt PHD that they have. What I do know for sure is that on my PD35 (biggest PTO unit they have), the difference is like day and night. I went from not being able to drill hole even in a days time soaking with water to...

    Post hole digger

    Drilling a pilot hole is not a good idea. The bigger bit will not just follow the smaller hole down. This is not wood or metal, different types of bits. If the OP is like me and doesn't have time to fool with getting holes dug having to wait for water to soften the ground, he can get a...

    Box Grader Vs Box Blade

    :cool: Top & Tilt hydraulic cylinders on a tractor 3pt hitch. These increase the ease of the 3pt capabilities 100 x over. :cool:

    Rear Blade Land Pride or King Kutter HD

    Weight is your friend when grading, the heavier blade will work better just about every time.

    Factory rear remotes for L3301

    Hydraulic top link with 3pt mower. Allows the mower to mover further than the std pivot mount on so many mowers. Hydraulic side link, allows the implement to follow the ground instead of the tractor. This is very useful when doing the final smoothing process on a road that has intersections...

    Factory rear remotes for L3301

    Angle hydraulic for a rear blade is very common. So there's the 3rd set. If you go all hydraulic rear blade and have top & tilt, then you need 5 sets. Also a box blade with hydraulic actuated rippers takes a set. I typically recommend 4 in the rear blade scenario and leave the blade tilt for...

    Loading/filling tires

    DO NOT lift the tire off of the ground. You want the tractor blocked up so that the tire is just touching the ground. If you lift the tire off of the ground and try to fill, there is a good chance that the tire will get pulled off of the seat of the rim and then you have a non seated tire with...

    Price on a factory-ordered M7060

    So since you did not say what the tractor will be used for, and you have built it out as is, I can only assume that it is built exactly how you want-need it to be. So at 78% MSRP you have a great price and should make the purchase. Good luck.

    Price on a factory-ordered M7060

    What will your tractor be used for? This can make a HUGE difference as to what all you should be getting as options. I personally would be getting the 12x12 transmission, 3 rear remotes, 2 with the float feature, hydraulic self leveling loader, 3 sets of rear wheel weights, all the front end...

    Any reason to stay away from a new M7060?

    The only reason not to buy an M7060 is if you really need an M8560. :eek: Otherwise all is good. ;)

    M7060HD advice please

    As was mentioned, depends on how the tractor is going to be used. A 12 speed is going to give you more speed choices. I have found that more gears is better. I have 12 on my 75hp tractor and wish that it had 16. Are you going to be grading? If so, get all 3 rear remotes, I would get 2 of the...

    Factory rear remotes for L3301

    Maybe Kubota figures that with the 3pt raised you won't be using the aux controls, so there is no interference??? :confused::confused:

    Top link bracket too narrow when bolts tightened up

    If this is a non Kubota top link, then the tractor end needs to be ground down to fit. The OEM units are 1 9/16" at the tractor end and the std 1 3/4" at the implement end on the B & BX series tractors.

    General Quick Hitch Top Hook

    While the pictured unit is indeed a hydraulic top link, there are manual links available with the hook end. :cool:

    M6060 vs M7060 - where is the extra HP???

    M7060 has a limited slip front axle, has the 12x12 trans as an option(get it)that 10 extra HP gets the same exact things accomplished, just faster. A 16.65% increase in HP can & will make a difference if you run your machine hard. If you just putt around, then no big deal. As far as where the...

    General Quick Hitch Top Hook

    How about something like this for matching up with the Pat's?

    Surely I can't be the only crazy one??

    On one hand I think that it is a good idea, everything coordinated makes an impression and usually a good impression. BTDT back in my contracting days, but with blue. What you are going to find is that a white tractor is not going to stay looking good for very long. All the nicks and scratches...

    M7060 - opinions?

    It can be adjusted down to a cat 1 size with the cat 2 parts that it has.
