I find it hard to believe it will be that much cheaper. The MX is a larger machine with a stronger loader. I can see it not having HST Plus to save a little money and maybe no dash message display like the Grand L. I’m thinking $4-5k less.

I'm going to remove the seat over Thanksgiving and see what can be done.

It's all the way to max. Even my 225lb co-worker sitting in it causes it to sink to the bottom or right near the bottom. However, a couple of guys under 200lbs can sit in it without issue. I've read there may be a difference between the seat suspension on open station vs cab L60 series machines?

Looking for a solution - my 1 month old L4060 HSTC has the standard (non air) seat, and when I sit in it, the seat bottoms out. I'm 6'5" 265lbs. It's annoying from a variety of standpoints, but mostly from the fact that I'm not sitting up high enough to have adequate leg room. I can operate...

Sadly it sounds like your dealer is like many...they are good to you when you are buying, but less than good to you when its time to take care of the customer. There's no reason to truck the tractor back to the dealer as you suggest...the tire can be mounted on the new rim beforehand. The...

I got a chuckle out of hope to float's post. Thanks for clarifying it for those who really don't get it. Now he/she is accurate in that if you are in 4x4 and both your right front and right rear tires are on ice, but your left front and left rear tires are on dry pavement, and you are headed...

I think a lot of you guys are making this more difficult than it needs to be. Just use your head. If you need to get your tractor to downtown Manhattan, trailer it. If you just need to get around in some non-congested areas, drive it. Make sure to use whatever lighting and flashers you have. I...

Pretty sure if you start any Kubota common-rail electronic throttle tractor with the RPMs raised, it automatically starts the engine at low RPM, then ramps it up after running a couple of seconds. dFixit1, any further work or luck on your tractor's starting issue?

Yeah, tlj87 is spot on. B-01 series on the right and B-50 series on the left.

Or it could be just for a shorter wire run from the ECU to then transmission, who knows.

Tires are correct. Seems like to disengage I have to be stopped with the wheels cranked. That seems ridiculous.

This L4060 is my 5th Kubota. The 4x4 lever is by far the worst. For one thing, the operation is backward to all my other Kubotas (on this one, pulling the lever up puts it in 4x2 while pushing down is 4x4). The lever travel is long, and the engagement and disengagement is not positive. In fact...

Fine, I'll leave the hosing out of the cab. It's a real nice tractor, I just want to keep it clean. SheepFarmer, it looks like the electronics brain is located above the rear axle area - maybe for the HST? It is completely sealed since it is subject to getting wet in it's location.

Guys, dfixit emailed me the video. He operates the glow plugs then starts the tractor. It starts but runs very rough and belches out white fuel smoke. The video is short and doesn't reveal whether the tractor eventually smooths out. In my opinion, the glow plugs are not working, or not working...

Sure seems to me the dashboard of the open station and cab tractor are identical, so I'm not sure that would be necessary. Just looking for confirmation...

Just curious - how waterproof is everything on the interior of a Kubota cab tractor, such as my Grand L 60 series? The instrument cluster seems to be the same as the one used on the open station L60 series, along with all the dash buttons and levers. Now granted, the headliner is cloth and the...

Does it smoke like that immediately after startup or maybe 30 seconds after it first started? Is your coolant level OK? (Just to rule out a headgasket issue, which is unlikely). One test that might be helpful is using an infrared heat gun. When your tractor is dead cold, aim the gun at each...

A 5 gallon can filled with diesel will be fine through the winter. It might be a good idea to get one bottle of diesel anti-gel and mix in the correct amount. Don't buy Diesel 911 (use that if you are already gelled) but Power Service does offer a good anti-gel / lube boost in the silver...

Depending upon where you live, at some point in the fall most fuel stations will start to mix #1 Arctic Diesel into the typical #2 Diesel everyone normally burns. #1 diesel is much less likely to ever gel / wax / freeze; however it is less good for your fuel system, since it provides less...

By way of update, I ran the HID work lights for about an hour last Friday evening. No melting occurred, so I think I can assume these will be OK. However, the only caveat is that the temps were in the low 40's.
