LA555, LA805, LA1055 are the Kubota loaders for the L60 series. You can still buy these loaders from Kubota, but good luck finding one right now.

You can build your machine (pick the HP model you want) to see which loader is compatible. I personally would not consider aftermarket if that is what you are asking, but maybe others have some input.

Browse through Kubota's Grand L60 Series Compact tractor inventory, filter search by features to find the best fit for you, or even build your own. Then find a dealer close by with your desired product!

Do you already own the tractor? The 6060 is a newer (current) model. The best loader for it is the kubota OEM one

The easiest fit would probably be the Kubota LA1055 loader. You could also opt for an after market loader such as Koyker which would come with related mounting hardware. The choice is yours but whatever choice you make it will be costly to add a loader to an existing tractor. TractorData.com Kubota L6060 tractor information

Ya I just bought a new one with my L6060, around $6000-7000 installed.

If you put a loader on a non loader Kubota is IS very costly because you'll need a sub frame, valving and the loader (if you can get one in the first place). Stuff is extremely tight these days. You can get 2 different buckets (light duty material bucket and heavy duty excavation buckets and you can also get a Kubota SSQA though I like the ATI's better. I have 2 large frame Kubota's and each has the 2 buckets and both are SSQA but one is the oem ans the other is ATI and like I said I prefer the ATI as it's stouter.

Good morning Artieb. As you can see - adding a front end loader( FEL ) is a major investment. AND not necessarily a DIY project for somebody who might be new to tractors & hydraulics.
My suggestion - buy a Kubota FEL and have the dealer instal it. This way you will get a unit that is specifically compatible and perfectly functional.
BTW - welcome to TBN and the forum.

Go with the factory loader, they aren't hard to add to that model as the valving is already in place, just needs the mounting brackets installed (2 side brackets and support bars that runs to the back) and the loder can be connected.

I have the medium loader on my L4060. Good loader, but a bit weak. The higher HP Grand Ls have a slightly beefier front axle & you can spec the bigger loaders on them. I assume Kubota assumes you axle is the weak point.
On my old L3200 the weak point was stability. Even with loaded rears, a 5' rotary cutter & a sack or 2 of something at the back of the cutter it was light. Lifted a rear tire once in that configuration moving big bales.
Everything will have a weak point. I'd rather it be my hydraulic relief valve vs the machine rolling over or parts breaking.
Also pretty sure the loader valve on the Grand Ls is part of the tractor, not part of the loader.
