    Noticed a few things poking around under the hood of my L4060

    My tractor is an L4060, meaning a non-turbo V2403 4-cylinder engine. I noticed it does have an EGR cooler, which sits under the exhaust manifold on the left side of the tractor. The cooler has a pipe which goes around the back side of the engine to the right side and into the EGR valve, which...

    L4060 steering shaft grommet

    I noticed the grommet on the floor of my cab where the steering shaft passes through was completely pulled out, leaving a hole. I was able to reset it. There is a metal clip on the small end of the grommet that seems to cause the whole grommet to twist as the steering is turned. Anyone else have...

    Not enough alternator on my L4060?

    I have a 2019 L4060 cab which I love. I recently installed a 12v heated seat pad that just straps to the standard seat and plugs into the 12v socket next to the seat. However, while plowing with it the other day, full blower, front and rear work lights, headlights, and stereo...I noticed the...

    Front 3-point hitch for loader quick attach

    Hi, Does anyone make something that will do the following? I want to use a 3-point implement (6-foot grader blade) on the front of my tractor and connect it using the quick attach my tractor has. Does someone make an adapter that will allow me to mount and implement like this to the front...

    How to get faster heat?

    I've noticed it takes quite a long time for my new L4060 to come up to temp and start blowing heat inside. What is the best way to get heat quicker? I'm assuming in the winter I could put cardboard in front of the radiator, or half block the radiator? I notice the engine fan does not have a...

    Kubota Grand L 60 series seat bottoms out

    Looking for a solution - my 1 month old L4060 HSTC has the standard (non air) seat, and when I sit in it, the seat bottoms out. I'm 6'5" 265lbs. It's annoying from a variety of standpoints, but mostly from the fact that I'm not sitting up high enough to have adequate leg room. I can operate...

    4x4 lever Grand L 60 series is hard to engage / disengage

    This L4060 is my 5th Kubota. The 4x4 lever is by far the worst. For one thing, the operation is backward to all my other Kubotas (on this one, pulling the lever up puts it in 4x2 while pushing down is 4x4). The lever travel is long, and the engagement and disengagement is not positive. In fact...

    How waterproof is the interior of a cab tractor?

    Just curious - how waterproof is everything on the interior of a Kubota cab tractor, such as my Grand L 60 series? The instrument cluster seems to be the same as the one used on the open station L60 series, along with all the dash buttons and levers. Now granted, the headliner is cloth and the...

    Grand L 60 Cruise Control Operation

    So, still playing around a little with my one week old L4060, up to 3 hours now! Anyway, if I'm using auto-throttle and cruising along with my speed around 5-6mph, I hit the cruise control button all the way forward and down...the cruise screen briefly appears, showing what percentage i'm...

    Kubota Grand L 60 series LED work light bulbs?

    Just picked up my new L4060 yesterday, and used it last night. The work lights are pretty weak...the specs say they are 35W bulbs. Are there any LEDs that are direct bulb replacements that throw off significantly better light? I don't want to replace them since I like the factory look of the...

    Grand L 4060 HSTC initial review

    Yesterday afternoon I delivered my 2018 MX4800 HST and 2019 L2501 HST tractors to the dealer in trade for a new L4060HSTC. I was sad to see both my "old" tractors go, as they were excellent machines, but excited for the new tractor. Here are my initial impressions: Appearance and quality is...

    Cheap and basic SSQA snow plow?

    I'd like to put a 6 or 7 foot blade on the front of my Kubota using the SSQA function. Manual angle with three positions would be fine: left, right, and center. Some kind of a trip spring, and the SSQA plate. I've found a few with hydraulics and they are expensive. Alternately, I have an 8.5'...

    Grand L 60 cabin switch illumination

    Hi guys, getting excited to take delivery of my new L4060 HSTC next week. I'm interesting in learning which controls are lit at night in the cab. I work a fair amount in the dark. I know the instrument cluster / message center is backlit, but are any of the other switches? Climate control in...

    Grand L Cab Tractor on sidehills

    I'm strongly considering trading my two current tractors for an L4060 cab tractor. Right now I have an MX4800 with R1 tires, rears loaded, and rim dish pushed all the way out. I also have an L2501 with R4 tires, loaded, with 3" spacers on each side at the rear. Both perform well on side hills...

    Pulling a gooseneck trailer with a tractor

    Every year on halloween we do a hayride where I use my tractor to pull a trailer situated with rails and hay bales for seats. In the past I've towed conventionally my 18' equipment trailer, weighing in at 3300lbs empty. I no longer have that trailer, instead having moved up to a 30' deckover...

    Best place to add lights to an L2501

    Looking to add auxiliary lights to my new L2501. The obvious place is the ROPs bar, but I don't like how the light shines brightly on the area right in front of you, including the hood and instrument panel. On my MX4800, I have a canopy and mounted the lights at the leading edge of the canopy...

    My tractor is currently stuck...

    So I got greedy while flail mowing with my L2501...backed into a ditch with a muddy bottom and sides too steep to climb out of, even with the diff lock and 4x4 engaged. The tractor is probably at a 70 degree angle perpendicular to the flow of the ditch. It was hard to dismount. This is at a...

    MX4800 Check Engine light

    I was mowing a field last week, pretty dry and tall hayfield. After a couple of hours I noticed the temp gauge was creeping up, but I figured I could make a few more passes without the needle moving to the red zone...finish the section I was doing, then clear the radiator screen. Well, after a...

    How to deal with Wasps and Hornets

    So I’m mowing a field and all of a sudden I’ve got hornets on the tractor hood and then they land on the steering wheel. Only 3 of them, but now I can’t steer. I had just backed into some trees a few minutes earlier. I suspect I bumped a nest but can’t see it. This field is being mowed as a...
