    Kubota L3560 and Grand L 60 Series Winter Front Covers Now Available

    I didn’t have much basis of comparison. These got installed the moment I bought the tractor! Even at -25c I’ve gotta turn the temp knob down to about half or else I’ll be sweating. It was much warmer today at only -5c and the temp gauge is still holding well. I anticipate these will stay on...

    Kubota L3560 and Grand L 60 Series Winter Front Covers Now Available

    @bird dogger David, thanks for getting these out so quick for my L5460. Was below -30c today. Lots of plowing and snow blowing. Fantastic quality as well as fit and finish!

    Well I wasn’t able to lock down any deals on a Kubota, but I ended up with an early 90’s 30ish ton Cat excavator. Was originally a 227 feller buncher. Starting life as a feller buncher has some huge bonuses. The undercarriage is way beefier (D7 dozer UC), the final drives are heavier duty, and...

    Unfortunately the L35 and L39 are on two different sides of the country (I'm in the middle hah). If I can get the L39 price down a bit, I think I'll jump on it. Great capacity for the engine size, decent hours, and triple rear remotes already. Once this land sale is legally completed I'll reach...

    This is the MX4800 I mentioned earlier. Being sold by an equipment dealer (non Kubota). $32500 plus 13% tax. Just under 1100 hours I believe. There a current deal on it pending financing.

    Here are some more pictures of the land. It’s a constant uphill to the north property line. A decent size creek running down the property and lots of rock outcrops. Quite a few areas are quite steep. It’s mostly poplar (trembling aspen), balsam fir, white/black spruce, white cedar around the...

    Initially with the property there will be lots of hoe and loader tasks. Rough Road/driveway building, clearing/pushing brush, moving sawn trees. Stripping top soil to prep for a house slab. The property has lots of shallow rock as well. It will be later on that 3pt functions come more into play...

    From my research, the backhoe on the dedicated TLB models doesn’t appear to be overly difficult to remove. Seems the biggest issues come from older models where the backhoe has never been removed and the pins are nicely corroded. The 3 point equipment has a nice storage space under the L39. I...

    It’s slightly different up here. Max term is 72 months. I went in and got an L3560 and L4760 priced out. They come in at between $800-$1000 CAD per month. Development on the property will be slow going and as we can afford it, so our monthly budget plays an important role. That being said, I...

    Yes, 2 rear aux hookups. I certainly know what the proper choice is! I would be adding a rear thumb (hyd if possible) and getting a grapple for the front. Later would be a box blade and a flail mower. I’m slightly worried that the land purchase will go over budget, hence why I’m also looking...

    Good day folks, I can’t tell you guys (and gals) how much help this forum has been in my research. I’m just about to complete the purchase on a 153acre vacant parcel of land. A couple very small clearings and the rest is heavy forest. In anticipation I’ve been searching for a TLB to help with...
