Whoa, the multi-function loader control stick also lets you change the tractor engine/trans drive modes

And the optional front and rear cameras integrate into the dash display? Thats awesome too.

Will be fun to option an L6070 Cab with every option available. $100k+?

I think it will be under 90k honestly, if you look on the site, it starts at 52k and then goes up. I guess if you added a backhoe in too or some attachments 100k is doable.

A moderately loaded L6060 with no hoe was pushing $70-80k a few years ago. With all the inflation & tariffs wed likely be pushing $90k now.

Dealer says it will be a while before they hit the lot.

but then you own a deere. Their corporate decisions like made in mexico and no right to work on your own tractor, mean no one should ever buy a deere. At least if they live in America and like to actually own what they buy. Sure they've been forced to make some changes, but you know they will revert as soon as they can.

I think this is really misinformed. None of the other tractors being considered or discussed are made in North America. The Deere 4 series offered as an example is made in Augusta Georgia. So you have this exactly backwards.

Also, from everything I have seen in buying a tractor over the past year, Deere is by far, and I mean by a really long way, the most open with information, and the most maintainable and fixable by an owner. For $200/year, which is about the same as one hour of dealer shop labor, I have the Deere software, and all the technical manuals from my 6120M, It is literally 10s of thousands of pages of manual. I have updated control modules, run diagnostics, and have installed options with new software, all right in my own shop. I don't know any other brand that offers that. The reality is the Deere is the MOST open, not the least open. So again, you have it exactly backwards.

That said, I would still pick a Kubota compact over a Deere compact. I have an L5740 which is their larger compact equivalent to the Grand 70, but two generations and 18 years older. It has been 100% trouble free, as have all my other Kubota machines. But for anything other than a budget Utility tractor, I would take a Deere over Kubota, which is exactly what I did. There is just no comparison.

Doesn't look like they've done anything to address the long hood design resulting in poor bucket visibility. This is my only complaint about my L6060. My previous Case 55C had so much better visibility.

I built an L6060 cab with an air ride seat, R4 tires, loader with bucket, 3rd function, 3 remotes, and 3 sets of wheel weights. It was $73,310. I imagine the new L6070 will be closer to $80,000 nicely equipped.

Purchased the L6060 with exact setup minus wheel weights plus top and tilt 6 years ago. Final dealer price was $54,000

I wish I could afford a new L6070, they have some really nice features! I love the grand L's
