Kubota M6060/6070-- What Add ONS Are Essential

[ragincajun]

looking at buying the M6060 or M7060.

what options or add-ons do you believe are a must have with these models.
i'm a gentleman farmer. no cattle or crops.. will mainly be using the tractor for bush hogging, discing and planting green fields and chufa plots.

i'm sure i would use it but i'm not looking to get a FEL, unless the deal is too good to pass up... tx n advance...

Cab and Air ride seat. I have the 7060 with the cab and wish I had the air ride seat installed before I purchased.

I'll do the obligatory answer. As a gentleman farmer, a FEL is a must. You think you won't use it, but the list of things you no longer have to lift by hand is very long. It's the very essence of gentleman farming. If you can get any kind of deal on it at all, I'd get one.

I'd get some sort of pallet forks - same reason. Lifting and carrying that you don't have to do any more. Ideally on the FEL, but on the 3ph if you don't have a FEL.

I wouldn't go without my chipper, but probably depends on size of your block. I don't have enough space / somewhere out of the way enough to just pile up the green waste and leave it, so it all has to be chipped.

You know you can add the seat..... they just swap out the base....think its around $500.

Yes I know, I guess that I am too cheap to spend the $500.00. If I had gotten it done at purchase then it would have been added in the financing.
I also agree with the other post Ragin. I have found many uses for my loader.

if I had my grand L to do over again my MUST HAVES would be
FEL
CAB
AirRide
4x4
3rd function with quick connect, 3 rear remote valves, at least one with a float position, LED lights front and rear,
Filled tires
those are the minimums for me.
