Just got the call. Grand 6060 is at dealer

innrkid · Feb 14, 2017

I started negotiating for this in December! Dealer tried to get me into a unit that I felt had too many 'yard moving and parking lot demo hours' on it. So, they ordered from the factory.

I should get some pictures this weekend. My grapple also showed up today and I picked it up from fed ex freight. EA wicked grapple, dual lid. Looks like a monster.

Congratulations on your new tractor. Not sure what you consider a "monster" grapple, but I bought too big and didn't like it, so I bought a smaller lighter one for my L5740 and use the bigger one on our M8540.

Congrats on your new machine! Don't forget to put up your photos...

It was not a size based comment so much as the looks of the construction.

Which one did you get?

Cup holder: The only container which fits a Grand L cup holder is a quart of Gatorade. I sleeved my cup holder with a piece of 3" PVC pipe, with a FLAT plug underneath, bolted through.

Almost all US drink containers are 2-3/4" diameter. I carry cold beverages in an insulated Polar (brand) water container, commonly used by bicyclists.

Thanks for the tip. I'm not a huge Gatorade fan so I'll need solutions. Thanks you.

My L6060 ROPS was delivered Jan 2016. I cannot use a cab tractor due to continual driving around and under trees.

As expected, it's a fuel hog but love it otherwise.

I have trees on field edges and some mowing areas. I hope they are ready for some trimming come springs!
I had the 3130 and expect this one to be more 'thirsty'.

Surprised about the comment on a L6060 being a fuel hog. I traded a L57r0 on a L6060 and my fuel consumption has reduced significantly - was 1.4 gpu average on the L5740 and has been 0.8 gpu on the L6060 despite my giving the L6060 a really hard workout on what has been a rougher than average winter do to all the snow.
