Took delivery of new L6060 this week. Clocked 4 hours getting used to controls and switching between bucket and forks. Surprised at how challenging it can be to see over hood for proper alignment of implements or lifting pallets. Anyone use a camera on front? Plenty of practice jumping in and out of cab. Have yet to install subframe and front snowblower. Have 1100 foot steep, icy gravel driveway. Glad to have chains and keeping it in low 4wd. Also considering aftermarket bucket edge (something like Pirhanna bar). Having fun so far.

The seat safety switch is the first thing I disable. It's almost impossible to remain completely seated to hook up on attachments on the larger tractors. A camera up front would be absolutely wasteful to me because of the use of a grapple and brush.

I have a backup camera I use on my tree shear. It is held on by a heavy magnet and powered by a small 12 volt battery I have clamp on nearby with a large radiator type clamp. I have a connector on the battery so I can charge it any time I need to.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum. Please post some pictures of your subframe and blower when you install it.

Anyone use a drone instead of a mounted camera for this implement mounting? Then send drone to “home” spot before you run it over.

My system is a few years old, just bought off of Amazon, it has a 7" screen-I wouldn't want anything smaller.

Here is a similar system:

Kinda like knowing how to Parallel Park or back-up a trailer.

Many can't, even with the visual aids.

Today I put on the new stump grinder for a test run did a couple smaller stumps first.
Then one of the 25+ large pine stumps that need to go away.

Well when you poke a fork into the wrong place on a pallet and ruin a lot of product you look for better ways to do things ;)
