    Best rear ballast solution for Grand L4240

    That is for Kubota weights and installation, but I still thought that was high... I am in East TN so my property has a lot of hills and slopes, nothing real steep, but enough to cause some instability real quick. Did adding the wheel weights make a big difference in your side hill stability?

    That looks like a nice setup! Great use of the old weights.

    Best rear ballast solution for Grand L4240

    Thank you for the reply... that is exactly the setup I am considering, but the dealer is wanting about $1,400 to add the 2 sets of wheel weights (200lb per tire) which is more than I was expecting. I currently have tires filled and use my box blade for ballast (~450lbs), but am considering if it...

    Best rear ballast solution for Grand L4240

    Trying to decide what would be the best solution for adding more stablity to my Kubota L4240. I have the tires filled with washer fluid, rears are set out 3 inches wider, and currently use a box blade (approx 450lb) on the 3pt when doing loader work. I am in east TN and my land has rolling hills...

    Tractor upgrade L6060, MX6000 or M7060 / M4

    Spent some time at the Kubota dealer over the weekend. Really like the M series probably leaning towards going bigger with the M7060. Dealer had a couple M4’s on the lot as well.. really nice looking tractor wish they were available as open station too. it has been a little over 10 years since...

    Tractor upgrade L6060, MX6000 or M7060 / M4

    I have only had open station tractors, so I have never experienced a cab. Does the extra weight from the cab typically help with overall stability or does the added height negatively affect the stability on hills?

    Tractor upgrade L6060, MX6000 or M7060 / M4

    I run R4's now and would want to stay with them or I like the R14's. Not sure if they are available from Kubota on the MX or L6060 though. Anybody currently running the R14's?

    Tractor upgrade L6060, MX6000 or M7060 / M4

    I have not really considered the safety component of HST. I am the only operator but I do work around buildings and close to banks and ditches that require fine control. I am sure it would just take some seat time to get the same level of confidence with the hydraulic shuttle, but I can see...

    Tractor upgrade L6060, MX6000 or M7060 / M4

    The M7060 is a lot more tractor for the money which is one reason it is hard for me to pass that up for less capable L6060. It really is just a matter of if I am willing to trade the HST for the more weight and power. I am really looking for overall more stability. How stable is your L6060 on...

    Tractor upgrade L6060, MX6000 or M7060 / M4

    I almost purchased a M6060 when I purchased the L4240. I was afraid it was too much tractor at the time and opted for the smaller HST. I agree that the M-Series would be great for the mowing and the HST+ is awesome for the loader work. I really would prefer to not give up the HST for its general...

    Tractor upgrade L6060, MX6000 or M7060 / M4

    My current L4240 is open station and I will probably stay with open station. I do a lot of work in and around trees and get on and off the tractor frequently. However a cab would be nice for the mowing. If I go with the M Series I would want the 12/12 hydraulic shuttle on the M7060 / M4. I...

    Tractor upgrade L6060, MX6000 or M7060 / M4

    I am new member here, but owner of a Grand L-4240 for 10 years. My L-4240 has been a great tractor but always felt like it was a little under sized for my needs. I am at a point where I would like to upgrade to a more capable tractor. I have 24 total acres that I maintain with about 18 acres of...
