I have the tractor with a BH and once the BH is mounted in June - it stays on until October. I don’t have a brush hog so I finish my drive grading and spring tilling then install BH. In the fall I finish digging projects, do fall grading and tilling then set up for snow plowing. I’m fortunate I...

Same as Rj. Once in awhile the dream-o-meter reads 17 on flat ground. I too have the factory 3rd function. Don’t have anything to use it with yet. How many rear remotes did you get? I went to hydraulic top link a year or so ago, really like it. I have the BH92 backhoe so I can’t do TnT (or so...

Yes, pretty easy ground too. We have a lot of clay but it’s buried below the depth that you can till.

Home - Werk-Brau Yes, my fab guy did it and said it was a little bit of a PITA. Werk Brau used to make buckets for Kubota (I heard) and they may have a flat face already. The 16” tooth bucket from Kubota is around $1,100. I got it for $900 a couple years ago. Don’t go less than 16” or you’ll...

I have a 6’ Dirt Dog and 34hp at the PTO. I kind of wish I’d have gone to 7’ as this one matches my tire width so it’s a little hard to till up close to things. Here it is in operation.

I went with recommendations here and put a Jensen head unit and Kickers speakers in, use it all the time. I’m interested in the sub idea and might put that in next time I pull the top. Maybe leave the sub up above headliner, strapped down?

I don’t have an answer for you on that but you’re gonna like that BH. Check your subframe bolts after awhile of use, I had a few that needed to be torqued up. I have the QA bucket and have the 18” toothed bucket and I ordered a 16” and removed the teeth, for a flat face. The thumb tines still...

And, don’t let anyone move your 3PH lever when BH is attached or you’ll blow a cylinder. I made this to remind me.

I leave my hoe on all summer and taking it off is fast but, with Kubotas installing the 3PH linkage takes me a bit. You’ll get all kinds of thoughts on a dedicated BH (TLB) versus a BH on a subframe on your tractor. However, most agree - stay away from 3PH backhoe.

Install the backhoe shoes to eliminate catching on sharp edges. I use a chain to keep stabilizers from creep, same with bucket.

Next time you have your roof off will you take a pic for us?

2nd on the rivnuts my last one at the back I was in a hurry and cross threaded. It spins so I had to take off filter and hold it with vice grips while I threaded it in. I’ll epoxy them next time roof is off. Taking it off is ok but putting those long bolts in and getting them started was a PITA...

I have the Dirt Dog 206, 6’ and my 40 hp (34 hp at PTO) has no trouble with it. It barely covers my tracks so I think a 7’ would be ok for you.

Follow this post for a bit. Installing Reflectix might help. I’ve heard window tinting helps too. What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

Thought I’d extend chains for stabilizers flipped, and transport mode, actually went ok. Been wanting to pull off BH plate and lube everything, went ok until I put plate back on. Stripped the threads on 1 bolt (of 4). Geez, seems like I’m always fixing something! Wife says “you like to tinker...

You’ve probably checked this but depending on the depth that the tiller shoes are set might be allowing the tines (depending on rest/off rotation) to contact the ground and leave the shoes up a little. Maybe the shoes were a little loose and that is throwing you off.

Go with raised center bay truss and you can keep sidewall heights lower and still have center bay for higher door and your lift.

Your tractor should have no problem with a 6’ if you decide to widen your beds. I have a 40hp (34 @ PTO) and run a 6’. Covering your tracks is handy for everything except your raised bed plan.

I have a Diamond C 7k, 5x10 dump that has ramps and I use for equipment. It was $5,100 a couple years ago. Having a dump is really nice.

Congrats and enjoy. Welcome to TBN!

I advance back or forward or side to side with the BH push or pull method - but whatever works. I don’t have enough ingenuity to invent your solution 🤔

Yes, here's a photo of the Kubota offering that dealer installed. Not had much time on it but it's wonderful!

Here’s my LP in action if that helps.

Not cheap but I have one of these in 8’ width. https://www.americanharrow.com/

If you’re referring to the GL4060 the seat sucks IMO for anyone over 225 lbs. Bite the bullet and install an air ride seat. There’s lots of posts here on Grammer seats who I’ve heard, makes Kubota’s “OEM” seat.

I use the heck out of my BH92. Get the mechanical thumb. It’s not anywhere near a mini X in capabilities but most of us aren’t digging to 10’. You’ll find all kinds of useful projects. My BH stays on from June-Sept. and it’s a beast! On the 92 you can relocate the seat back a little to gain some...

I bought this one last year on sale for $326. It is very quiet and replaced a 40 year old Craftsman that was sooooo loud.

Yesterday mornings cleanup. Same with today! Maybe we’ll get a break tomorrow. Merry Christmas everyone!

You can do the top just not the tilt w/ BH. My dealer takes the OEM TnT Kit and sells just the T.

I built this to drop into my dump trailer and clean river rock. It worked ok but wow what a mess! Luckily I had the wife on the power washer so she got most of it. I gave up after awhile - took to much time.

Agree, rent one of these. The abuse these mulchers place on the machine is pretty severe.

I agree on a nice heavy back blade. It can be expensive to invest in front snow blades. I have a pusher but I can only push so far before, I have to unload off the shoulder somewhere. Sounds like you’re just plowing to get your wife out!

Disregard my last it’s if the tractor is running. :rolleyes:

Isn’t there an adjustment knob or lever under the seat that controls 3PH drop speed?

When the pusher fills up the snow starts coming over the top, you’ll have to angle off to the side and empty. Do you have room to do that? I have a pusher and the backdrag kit and like it but I only have hard surface clients so I can’t answer on gravel. It has no parts to break which is nice...

FYI check your ZT lug nuts also - found mine to be below torque specs.

Oh….the things we haven’t shared with our better half’s! Your secret is safe with us ;)

Don't feel bad we've all been there. My kid called me last week all frustrated and ready to give his JD rep the "what to" when he couldn't get his 3PH implement to lower. He was glad that I told him about the adjustment knob under the seat for 3PH - he must have thanked me 20 times.....I said...

Jeff is our TBN technical guy. I have probably a size up or so CUT than yours and found a EA 66” 18” pans disc harrow. It feels and pulls too small for me so I would say you’d be ok up to somewhere in the low 60’s inches. And, welcome to TBN!

Here's a video that Paul Short did on clatter in the cab, probably not same thing but thought I'd pass it on.

I don't know if a Grand L is on your radar but the features of HST+, the dual speed, ability to set HST response, and the auto throttle - are really nice when you're doing a lot of loader work. The throttle up button on the joystick is great too, especially if you're using auto throttle to keep...

I have an EA 66” and it’s pretty light (580 lbs). I paid $1,500 for it new last year from neighbor that never uncrated it. It works good to run over grass before tilling. It also works good to disc in leaves in farm field. I’m going to add more weight someday. It needs some heft to it to...

I haven’t noticed that but I do think the diesel clatter is more noticeable at various times. I’m partially deaf though :oops:

With LA10 series loader it’s in that size range. My guess is MX???? The gas cap is in wrong place to be a Grand L, as is joystick and throttle.

Maybe a little dielectric grease on those plug connections might help?

Bought a toothed bucket and had the teeth cut off.

Not sure if these are at all heavy duty enough for your application, price is right though. Not a very well known brand. https://tomahawkattachments.com/products/grapples

I can't help you with getting the teeth off but I, like you, wanted a flat faced bucket. None to be had, so ordered a toothed bucket and had fab shop cut off the sub-tooth? after removing the teeth. Advantage was it was a new bucket so easy to see everything.

I was thinking it's the higher priced item(s) not being able to use "price point" as a sales item? So, (sometimes) they have to downplay everyone else instead of pointing out advantages to their brand. Geez - this sounds like politics! 🤔

The same reason some S&W/Colt owners bad mouth Ruger IMO.

Here it is I think Lowes has it.

I’m biased 🤔 Kubota’s HST+ is wonderful, especially for loader work. The throttle up on Grand L’s is nice and I like the response variables on the HST (mine I set to -2). From what I’ve read and comments on this forum, LS makes a great tractor. Oh, the seat sucks on the Kubota IMO.

I don’t have an MX but it’s usually cheaper to have dealer do it when you purchase. I have 1 remote and wish I had gotten 2. Air ride seat. I’ll repeat…air ride seat. 3rd function.

I was in your spot last year. Built a homemade screen that fit on dump trailer. What a mess and took too long. Removed the river rock, installed retaining wall block edging, put down cardboard and new 2-3” limestone. The edging has stood up fine through our MI winter. Here’s a link on it...

I bought this one last year when on sale for $329 or $349. It runs what I need ok and when the big garage interior is finished I’ll move it there and have my son (sprinkler pipe fitter) plumb it in. It is amazingly quiet. I debated between this one and Harbor Freight quiet model.

I am in the BH “yes” group. I’ve got mechanical thumb and QA bucket. 18” bucket w/teeth and 16” (soon to be) flat face. For my uses BH stays on 5-6 months of the year. Removing and installing is easy (on level ground). Removing and installing 3 PH is a PITA. I work a lot with larger boulders...

Flip is that you? Missed you over on OTT, to many serious posts :cool:

Welcome to TBN. Lots of knowledge on this forum. We had 2” of snow on April 1st I would trade for your weather.

That number matches my experiences loading my 5’x10’x1.5’ dump trailer. Even struck it can hold 2.7CY but could be overloaded at that volume. I gauge a lot by how hard it has to work on the first dump. 6 good scoops of heavy material seems to be the limit.

I used a label maker and put capacities on the FEL and BH buckets. My old mind can’t forget them now. I also have weights on ea. and attachments.

Only problem I have with Speeco is the rubber handles slide off. I fixed it with some hairspray though. I've had the 6' tiller, the 7' landplane and the disc harrow behind it and have run it pretty hard. No problems so far.

I have the eSpeeco Cat1 QH. I really like the convenience of being able to immediately hook up to Cat1 implements. I added a hydraulic top link last fall and that really upped the ease of use. ‘Watch this for fitment on your tractor

If you added some tires or something for weight you may scratch at it. If it’s packed down you’re going to need scarifiers in either a box blade or landscape plane IMO on your first run. A heavy backblade or rake may be ok too.

If I had to give up my tractor mounted backhoe there would be no use in owning the tractor. I put the backhoe on in June or earlier and don’t take it off until October. I would guess that almost half of my 400 hrs in the last 1-1/2 yrs has been on the backhoe.

Also from SW MI. Welcome - keep this up we’ll have to start our own sub thread :)

Thanks oosik I've perused the Rhino products. I don't think my GL4060 could handle that size blade though? I've bought some implements from GWT as I can drive and pick them up. I bought a Dirt Dog tiller from him and will check on Dirt Dog blades. I'm thinking a 7' would be ok, I've got the 7'...

You have the absolute right idea and where I’m missing the mark - getting the gravel back up and onto the road. Backblade is my next purchase ;)

I missread you then. If you're thinking a box blade (which I was), that doesn't angle may or may not have rippers. If you're thinking a rear angle blade, you should consider a 7' or wider, so you cover your tire tracks when angled. Sorry if I got you confused.

I pull a 7' landplane grade scraper and you know it's back there. The box blade loads up way more material - go with a 6' as Rj said.

I have 1 factory installed rear remote, wish I had 2. Here's in installation on an L6060 ROPS if that helps. Ryan's channel is all about his work at a Kubota dealership and I learn a lot watching him work.

Yes it is wonderful. RJ is correct on the couplers.

I’m ok with the R4’s they sure are tough and easy on the lawn. Ride pretty rough when roading especially when it’s cold outside. I’d consider R14’s I think there’s some YT videos on the comparison.

I don’t know about all of your snow “weapons” but the first day at more than 12” of very wet and heavy snow on long driveways was a real “push” for my 40hp tractor and 7’ snow box. With the box full it looked like I was pushing snow 6’ or more in front of the box. In these conditions I can see...

Have 42”. Hard to see tips without stretching up on the seat. If you can see the tips noticeably better with 48’s, that’s what I would recommend. Had 42’s for my skid steer and assumed they’d be fine on tractor.

If you’re looking for a tractor that you want to feel comfortable in, consider a cab IMO. Nice price and availability - no 4WD. Maybe manual transmission and no 4WD is why it’s available? I have a big tractor and live in a subdivision. Do your research and when you get it nailed down - look...

M1 is spot on but, I do a lot of residential snow plowing and the auto throttle along with UHMW on the edge of pusher keeps clients happy.

Rustyiron hit it well. I had a Bobcat 763 which is longer WB than 753, definitely less “bucking”. I had a construction business and needed the additional hydraulic capability for breakers etc. Fast forward 20 years and I opted for a tractor. My needs have changed and getting in and out of the...

I could be wrong but bring up the HST response display and hold down the menu display button. Should highlight and you can keep pushing to increase or decrease the response.

I have my HST set to -2. Seems to work very good for me at that setting. I set throttle up to 2,000 rpm.

Nice send some pics our way when you get a chance.

I’ve got the HLA 1800 in 84” and it is fine with the 4060 so far.

For those following front fender posts for Grand L series tractors here’s the answer from a Canadian dealer.

Picked up a Diamond C, tandem axle, 7,000 lb in December. Dealer had it listed for $5,195 and last one of these in stock. Like you I needed something I can tow with my Toyota Tacoma and this loaded is at the max tow capability. Has ramps and tarp. Haven’t loaded it yet so can’t tell you how that...

Hey can you do us a favor? Since you're in Canada you can get front fenders for the Grand L 60 series, we can't here in US. Can you check on price and availability of the front fenders, and an order number if possible. My US dealer is trying to work with a Canadian dealer to get them but so far...

I bought this last year when it was labeled as Hitachi. It’s a nice little single bevel saw for the money. I have a very heavy old Craftsman I carry in tool trailer and hoping to upgrade to Milwaukee cordless someday. This was the price at Lowe’s

These IBC totes work too.

If I have to see forks I raise the steering wheel all the way up and sit on the forward edge of seat. I put seat cover on my stock seat.

Ditto on the Titan but you are getting what you pay for I think. It works..... the top link attachment on mine was welded crooked - still works but a little annoying. Filled mine with steel scrap from local demolition project. I carry a broom and shovel during the winter in the tool holders.

I put seat cover on mine and really like it. Ordered from Amazon. If your seat is same as grand L this is the code that works for covers.

I went with battery maintainer instead of block heater. Parked in unheated garage. Not as cold as you’re going to see.

Pusher works great. Only had 7” last night another 6” or more yet this morning. I really like the rubber edge as it doesn’t dig into the yards. I was able to plow some of the back yard for the pugs and no damage. Backdragging worked great and as advertised, both edges are quiet compared to steel.

We've had such little snow so far I had to put the battery maintainer on it!

Installed the poly edge on backdrag.

Ready here too. SW MI so we probably share lake effect snow.

Kids line up at the door for my pumpkin pie. Try it! Here’s recipe.
