Be careful if you have R4 tires, they have way less traction than the AG (R1) tires especialy going up hill. From my experience anyway. But slow is critical and NO sideways. I do cut at some steep angle sideways but not my steepest angles.

Don't know what tractor you have, but if you have rear remotes install a hydraulic top link, then you can adjust the angle of the box blade on the fly from the seat of the tractor. Go from the front blade to the rear blade or any where in-between on the box blade. Include tilting all the way...

I also found the lift height to be a problem on my 2015 M6060, purchased new, dealer had no cure. Although a different problem. My rotary cutter dual tail wheels would not lift high enough to not slam against the ground when driving across the pasture and terrace rows. Since I have rear remotes...

Thanks for your last reply. You are correct about pulling loose when under strain. I will replace that male connector before I put HYD top link back on. Don't believe it is the female half because the other hose stayed plugged in where the bad one had been plugged in when I had swapped positions...

One did keep coming loose even when I reversed position of connectors (male end on hose), the same one came loose. I was told that that is the way they worked when pressure got too high (?), but that would be a cheap easy fix to try. Thank you for your response.

All of a sudden my Hyd Top Link will not extend or retract. I have been using it for years with no problems. Hyds loads up (can see hoses move) in either direction, but cyclinder does not move. Shaft is not bent. I had to crack a fitting to releave pressure so I could pull a pin to remove...

Does your M6060 have RPM mangement button (on left side of mine) like mine? My question is does tractor still do the same while using this feature? It is suppose to keep everything RPM wise working the same, mine does. Hopefully your DPF is not clogging up. If I am not mistaken if the REGEN is...

This is who I use, they sell a lot of equipment and I have used their service dept. Also, know one of the owners. www.blountcotractor.com Blount County Tractor & Equipment 31720 AL-75, ONEONTA, AL 35121 (205) 625-5381

You are correct about the battery showing signs of failure at 12 volts. But, is the battery always 13.63 volts which is what the calculations were based on? For example; if the battery voltage is 13 volts (still a good battery) that would be 9.23 amps on the 10 amp fuse being talked about...

My math does not match these numbers 120w at 8.8A is 13.63V. 13.63 is the alternator output to charge the battery. The battery is rated as a 12-volt battery and wiring should be rated for 12-volts plus current. 120 watts divided by 12-volts is 10-amps. Calculations should be based on 12 volts...

This seems to be an issue with so many operators. Wow, annual REGEN. Mine is a little more often even while working tractor hard. I have a 2015 M6060 and I have to press the AUTO REGEN button to enter the AUTO REGEN mode every time I crank tractor. My AUTO REGEN button DOES NOT have a...

My tractor weighted over 6000 pounds the way it was set up without the flail mower. AGAIN, BE VERY CAREFUL! Especially when mowing all the way extended and in high position.

It was Farmers Helper (China built) very well built and heavy (about 1400 pounds). Came from west coast. I sold it for more than I paid for it and purchased a Limb Ninja (with cylinder) for the FEL, much safer (400 pounds). Will reach as high as the FEL will go. With a cab tractor, you will be...

You had better make sure your tractor has the weight to handle the articulating flail mower attached to the 3PH. After my intense calculating and dealer input, my M6060 with FEL and loaded rear tires, I still flipped my tractor on it's side while mower was all the way to the side and at vertical...
