One common "problem" with the 12 speed is the linkage is very finicky to adjust and get right. Of course if it's new or under warranty it shouldn't be your problem. Mine is very hard to get out of park. Ots under warranty but thr dealer is 3 hours away so im just gunna fix it myself.

Interesting i certainly cant argue with the spec sheet showing the same cycle time, although the comment about hitch capacity doesnt make sense because flow rate would not effect lifting force. Why would they provide increased flow for the steering, shuttle and clutches? Seems pointless.

Im a little late to the party, but I would get the 7060x12. Thats what i got. So little more money for so much more. Think of quicker cycle times for the loader from the increased hydraulic flow. I would recommend the creep option too. I find 1st low range way too fast for many things.

Well guys I finalized the deal for the tractor, the M7060 12 SPD yesterday. It's a factory order, will take 2.5 months.

And you are still walking cuz u don't have a tractor, bummer, sorry man 😂

Correct. Many people either don't know about use tax, or "forget" to declare it.

The L2296 holds more than the 1811??

Bigger is ALWAYS better, this is America. IF you dont like it you can leave! ;). But seriously, I can think of uses where every bucket size would be best. A 5 might be best for digging and scraping, a 6 for tighter spaces and real dense heavy stuff, a 7 for heavy but not super heavy stuff...

I think i decided what to do. I think Ill go with line #2 which is the bias tires with the cast wheels. ITs only like $1200 more than the steel wheels and I can stomach that cost and feel its worth it. There is not much I like about the radial option: Cost more, dont like the LSW, dont...

Yes I will also have a 6" bucket for when in tighter spaces. I have piles and piles of shale I need to move around, and the stuff isnt really that heavy so I think a heaped 7' bucket would be no problem weight wise and save me time.

PoTreeBoy for president !

good call, that might be the ticket. I looked it up and its a TL3421A, described as "84" heavy duty. Appears to have a bolt on edge option

ITs really annoying they dont list the buckets separately. Even though they are QA, its that stupid steve jobs/Apple crap where they want to make the decision for you and match the bucket to the loader and not let you decide. You have to dig trough the loader parts diagrams to get the bucket...

Yeah good point. According to the manual, the M6060/7060 is 73 inches wide. Kubota does the whole FEL bucket thing kinda strange with not a lot of options. If you look at the LA1065 loader, they list 3 bucket options, the L2235A which is 72" sq back, L2236 which is 72" light material, and...

Ok yeah I want a heavy duty bucket. I wasn't sure if Kubota is calling it "light material" because of the size and they are worried about too much weight, or it is lightly constructed. From what you are saying it is more the latter.
