Help Questions L4760 MX5200 M6060 BH92

[cooljoe00]

Quick back story; I most likely don't need this much tractor(open to suggestion) but I don't want to break a smaller new machine pushing it and it not be able to do the job. I have about 10 acres of 3ft+ thick grass land with small saplings, 24 acres of wooded forest like land I plan to tame, and a 1/4 mile long dirt/gravel/clay/sand road to maintain.

I am leaning to the L4760, but..the others seem nice too.(Please bare with me my knowledge of tractors is limited)

My questions begin with a comparative of L4760 to the MX5200 I couldn't see much difference other then MX5200 looks like its the same engine just turbo charged, and that it has a cat I/II 3pt Hitch(I don't really see me needing a cat II but..), I can see that there is a few hundred lbs difference I can only assume that it has a beefier frame for the cat I/II 3pt hitch. Is this really the case I find it weird it several thousand $$$ cheaper then the L4760? The L60's seem to have more custom options but that doesn't seem to justifed the cost diff.

My next question is comparative of L4760 to the M6060. They are very different but cost about the same, Kind of a why? My real questions is if the L4760 and the MX5200 can use the BH92 is there any reason the M6060 can't? It not a dealer opt nor is it mentioned as compatible, according to the website.

My other questions are not really directed to any one tractor, but is there a reason you can't have a Top-N-Tilt addon and the backhoe option? I was thinking about getting TNT for grading, but I need the backhoe more then the ease of TNT.

What kind of valve system would I need to run a Root Grapple FEL, I am Starting from a stock version of the tractors. or are they already setup to run a Root Grapple?

Other then the TNT, Stump grinder, Bat wing mowers; what usage does the rear hydraulics have? A lot of the other implements I looked at have there own hydraulics system that powered by the PTO.

I have other question but I'll make another thread for them sorry for the length of this!

TNT will be fine with a BH, it's just going to be a little work to remove it all when you install the BH.

For a root grapple you will need a third function kit to add hydraulic control for the grapple to the loader.

Out of all the tractors you list I would sway to the M6060 as it does have more options and more capabilities.

Yes get the most rear remotes you can, 2 or 3 is common, they are used for a ton of different implements and getting them installed later is harder and normally not done as nicely as a new install.

the L60 series has several useful items the others may not have....whether you need them or use them is up to you. I love the autothrottle. I love the button on the stick to raise RPMs when doing harder loader work. I use the shift on the fly 2 speed for each of the 3 main HST gears, I use it especially when doing either dirt work, but more so while mowing for extra grunt when needed. I love the intellipanel. I like the fuel filler being low instead of up on the tractor. I'm sure there are more things I forget it has over the MX. but I was heavily leaning towards the MX5800. until I drove both. I took a sacrifice in power and lifting power for those functions. the only thing I could see the MX doing faster is brush hogging, only because it would handle an 8 foot blade and brush hog no problem. with the 4060, I'm at the 6 foot range. ahh yes, seat is a little nicer too. I'm now looking for a TLB for serious backhoe power and a stronger fel. but honestly, I have no issues with the engines power level on the 4060.

I agree to get as many rear remotes as you can when you buy, and also the 3rd function on the loader. No better time than when you're buying, and if you finance it all gets rolled into your monthly payment. If you get TNT, that's 2 remotes right there, and it's nice to have one extra. There's plenty of things you can do with rear remotes, such as lifting and lowering the rippers on a box blade or angling a scrape blade, and you might even come up with your own custom attachments that use hydraulics.

TNT should work with the backhoe, but I have seen complaints of clearance issues with the side link and the backhoe subframe.

As for the rear hydraulics, they can be used for bailers, snow blowers, dump trailer, or a wood splitter to name just a few.
If you get top & tilt someday you would use 2 right off the bat.

As for the M6060 not offering a BH the only reason I could think of is that it offers a cab and that may make it non-compatible. Not sure.

The MX is the meat and tater tractor. Way less features.

*The M6060 is a lot more tractor all around other than the BH thing.
