Just curious. What made you bump up to the L6060 from the L4760 you were getting a quote on?

lol. Remember George Carlin? He said, “they call New Jersey the garden state. What do they grow there? Smokestacks?”

I pulled the trigger today. Down at EaglePower on31.

They have the tractor in stock, they just have to get the backhoe. I should have it in a couple of weeks.

I am going to go with a Wicked Grapple. I just have to figure out which one matches this tractor.

They offered me $16,000 for my B2601 but kind of encouraged me to try and sell it myself. I have a friend of a friend who once said they might be interested, otherwise I’ll try and post it on Craigslist or on OTT Classifieds

Congrats! I very much doubt you'll outgrow that setup, but if you do, you'll be looking for a mini excavator and an M series tractor!

I have a Wicked 60 root rake grapple that I bought to use with the MX6000. Had I known I was going to own an M6060 I would have opted for the Wicked 66.

That is quite the set up you ordered.

Remember the “Golden Rule” though………….Pics, or it didn’t happen!

It was only about $4k difference between the two models. I think if they had a 4760 on the lot, I may have gone that route. They had two L6060s in the crate (funny how small they look sitting in the crate). The two have a similar size footprint, so I just opted for the 6060.

Good to know. I think the grapple and BH are going to be the two implements that will get the most use from me.

I wanted the LA1055 and went back and forth between the 4760 and 5460. Both 6060's they had were sold so i went with the L5460. It should be everything I need going forward.

I think the 60 inch wicked grapple will work for me. I know McMXi said he wished he got a 66” Wicked for his M6060, but would the 60” be too small for the L6060?

I had a HLA 60" root rake i bought for the LX2610 and used it with my LX3310. Kept it for the L5460. It was on the large side for the LX's and might be a touch small on the L5460 but it will still get the job done.

The Wicked 60 is perfect for the MX6000 or L6060, and at 400lb it's a good choice for the loaders/capacity offered. The Wicked 66 is 625lb or something like that, and it's beefed up so a better match for the M6060. I use the grapple infrequently enough though that it's not worth it to me to sell the 60 and upgrade to the 66.

There are lots of other good grapples out there too. Just depends on your intended use and how much lift capacity you're prepared to give up. I wouldn't want more than a 400lb grapple on the MX6000 loader since I mostly move logs and rocks. If you're using it for brush then loader capacity isn't much of an issue.
