IMHO 2K is a small price to pay for the 60 over the 56...

Unless it has changed from the previous 40 series you have to step up to the M7060 for a factory cab

I checked they do make the M6060 with factory cab.

THANK YOU EVERYONE! I really appreciate the help. the post that is swaying me the most is the CI note about the engine size between the two. also appreciate the note about previous L6060 to M6060 costing and HST. I am a shuttle guy. This is such a GREAT forum.
best
Jeff.

Yep.. Ran that check this .am 40.9K and 44.1 Good call J

Keep in mind the M6060 is cheaper than the L6060. At least when I priced them last year. They are proud of the HST+ transmission!

OK... (drum roll) and the new Orange complexioned Bride To Be will be the M6060! You guys really helped!
The engine size and L comparison notes made sense.
you consider that 2.2K from the 5660 to the 6060 over 40 avg K is is what 5.7(ish) percent.
Now or never. retire in a decade or so... so we're not getting another one. (hehe... so she thinks.. kidding.. comon' it'll last us forever honey!).

Congrats. I spent an hour on that machine at the dealer. Great tractor! Still trying to get my father to bite the bullet!

Now for implements!

Credit App in... I went a bit nuts and said price out a 7060 w/ the cab and a 6060 w/ the cab.. LOL just to make sure! That was just too steep! Ohh well. I really did prefer the open station but mumma thought a cab would be comfy (she drives and runs the baler all summer) while I'm in the back in the heat anyway. Sorry hon. pushed it up another 9/10K. I'll post the pics of the new girl when I can.

Here is a M6060 I saw. Nice tractor. The Radial tires are a no brainer

There's a similar one at my dealer. I've also seem with the standard pizza cutter front tires. You're right, the radials are a no brainer.
