L6060 coolant leak

[JonM]

my 6060 has been parked in dirt or sand for the last year or so finally got my new barn up with concrete flooring. with a good floor i can now see leaks. had a coolant leak i didnt know about.

spent a few days confirming the leak as it is super slow. today i talked to my dealer and they sent a tech out

he explained that they see a lot of new tractors with very small coolant leaks. he replaced all the hose clamps cleaned everything off and was done in about 45 minutes

service motor company in stevens point wisconsin have fantastic service

Yes it's fairly common for the clamps to be loose.
I think it's that they don't over tighten them on assembly.

Coolant and hydraulic leaks are common on new machines just tighten the fittings or clamps and you’re good to go 99% of the time.
