    Tractor shutting off!

    Hey BillyG, I have been researching this problem a LOT also. The surging/dying engine has been an issue a few times on my 2022 L6060 also. Mine only has <200hrs on it. Always fresh fuel, no problem with fuel filter/water/algae, etc. But there are a ton of people with L6060's who talk about this...

    Thanks, Paul. I have the owner's manual but it doesn't address anything with the cab. For now, the parts diagram online has been the most help.

    L5240 vs L5740 - Pls help...Plan to buy within a week

    Thanks, D2. I went to Tulsa to check it out then went back a few days later to pick it up and haul it home. Today I did what I always do when I buy used without a maintenance history. I treated it like no one had ever done a thing and started from scratch. Fortunately, it looked like at least...

    L5240 vs L5740 - Pls help...Plan to buy within a week

    I ended up getting the L5740 in Tulsa with just over 330hrs. One thing though...is there an owners manual of any kind for the cab, A/C controls, filters, etc. I have an owner's manual for the tractor (same was for my L3940 I used to have) but I'd like to know better how to operate/maintain all...

    EA Grapple or Green Machine

    Another vote for MTL. Right now they have them for $999 and free shipping. The paint isn't excellent but everything else about it is great. I've used mine in rough fashion at times. I'm not sure how they can sell them so inexpensively now that I've seen and used them firsthand. Compared to...

    L5240 vs L5740 - Pls help...Plan to buy within a week

    D2, my indecisiveness has cost me a good deal more than once over the years! Chim, that's been my rule of thumb as well for the A/C and actually I'd forgotten to really consider that with the L5240. Doing that would bump my PTO HP back down to the MX PTO HP, more or less. If I can get the...

    L5240 vs L5740 - Pls help...Plan to buy within a week

    Thanks for the reply, D2. I don't have a farm exemption unfortunately since I use the equipment as part of a business and don't resell it and charge tax then. Both are actually really good prices if you compare across the nation on Tractorhouse, for example. The guy in Arkansas came down to...

    M7040 vs M7060

    I am constantly amazed at how many 7040's and 7060's come up for sale on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist and Tractorhouse. At times it's made me wonder if there's some problem with them. But yet, everyone who has them seems to love 'em. Strange. Anyway, for the reasons mentioned already...

    L3901d

    I've had multiple L3800's and they have been incredibly reliable, basic tractors. I still have one now that I use as part of my business. The L3901 is the same tractor but with some emissions control added in, I believe. I usually aim for around $16k for a good used L tractor. But even then...

    L5240 vs L5740 - Pls help...Plan to buy within a week

    Orange brothers (and the occasional sister), thank you SO much for your help. Last summer about did me in as it was unusually humid even for Oklahoma. I'm ready for a cab. This is gonna hurt not just in terms of $$$ but also because I've always given my cab tractor buddies a hard time. Oops!:)...

    TrailBlazer TB-ONE / L6060

    Hey man, I'm doing the install today and I can't quite figure out how to put it all together with my WR Long 3rd function kit already on the tractor. It's not clear to me where to run the hoses in relation to the 3rd function. Do you have any pictures or advice. I'd be incredibly grateful...
