    Recs on ballast

    FYI, Here is a copy of liquid ballast weights from Messick's Ballast. On my 4760 I have rear tires loaded, 200lbs of wheel weights per side and set my rear tires to the widest configuration. That gives my good stability and traction. When I use my grapple I add a Kubota L8170 ballast box loaded...

    A short story about what happens when you're drinking on Black Friday.............One man, his Kubota, and a lever

    Grand L4760 will i regret not going to 5460 or 6060.

    Based on what I have seen in central N.C. dealers won't come down on the prices even when they have a ton of inventory on the lot. Since 2009 my family has purchased 5 pieces of equipment from the same dealer. My tractor was the 6th and most expensive but he would not throw in anything extra or...

    Grand L4760 will i regret not going to 5460 or 6060.

    I am very satisfied with my L4760 and its capabilities. I have all Cat 1 equipment the biggest being a 6" bush hog. It has plenty of power for my mower. I also like that the engine is not turbo charged. The rear lift capacity is higher because two external lift cylinders are used. Regardless...

    Anybody have a PITA?

    A.I customer service count? I have a J.D. 650 that has low hours and is great condition. I only have 1 key and found a Amazon vendor that offered two keys for $9. One of the keys worked and the other did not. I contacted customer service A.I. and asked that instead of a refund they send me...

    ZD331p-60 - any fixes to the clogger fuel filters

    I have a ZD323 that has the same fuel system. In 1500 hrs of operation, I have had no fuel supply problems or fuel quality problems. If they are finding algae in the pre-pump filter then the tank/tanks are contaminated. Removing tanks and a through cleaning are the only way I know of to get...

    Knowing what you know now, would you buy the same tractor again?

    The added HP was not a factor in my decision. I did take into consideration that the L4760 has the same engine as the higher HP L series without the turbocharger. My thought was same block and lower output may = longer service life and less stress on the drive train. The l4760 has the upgraded...

    Knowing what you know now, would you buy the same tractor again?

    I had a Kioti L3054 for 17 years and it did a good job around the 60 acre property. That tractor ownership helped me spec out my L4760. I wanted a stronger loader but stay with a tractor size for operating in wooded areas. I would buy the l4760 again. Actually, I have been pleased with all of...
