Posting this because people are asking me about my radial tires. Here are pictures of the front and rear so you can see the sizes. The tires were ordered with the tractor and were put on at the plant in Georgia. They even had Kubota stickers on them.

Well I am stuck overseas at work for another 2 weeks. Since the dealer didn't pick up my tractor to install the 3rd function kit yet, I called them and had them go ahead and order the creeper gear to install at the same time they do the 3rd function next week. In using the Lane shark cutter I found myself using the clutch a lot, especially when there was really heavy brush at varying heights. If the overhanging limbs were mostly at one height and not thick I could get everything cut driving along in 1st gear but the slower creep gears should be the cats meow for dealing with heavy brush at various heights without having to clutch so much.

You will love the creep in 3rd gear creep at 2000 rpm it is 1.5 mph.

Must be different on the 40s vs the 60s? My manual says @ 1960 RPM C1=.27mph, C2=.38mph, C3=.49mph, C4=.63mph, C5=.80mph, C6=1.06mph and L1=1.6mph.

How smooth does your trans shift in and out of Park. My new 7060 is a bit sticky shifting in and out of park. I have to depress the brake and shift with some force.
How is yours?

I had read where some were having issues with it ,but I have had none. I am not a huge fan of how it works but have already gotten used to it. Where I live the land it pretty flat so I haven't had it in park on an incline yet either.
Mine was a nightmare when it was delivered. I literally dreaded stopping and having to shift into Park. I had to use two hands, and all my strength, and even then sometimes could not get it in Park. I actually cracked the plastic around the lever handle. This is my first tractor so thought maybe it was me until I posted here. Then I had the dealer come out and make an adjustment and it's been fine since. Purchased in Feb of this year.

Yea I love my 7060HD12 as well. One thing I wish I would have got was the self leveling loader. Is that an OEM system I can add, or must the dealer add it? Not sure what it all entails.

A self leveling loader has significantly different geometry than a normal loader. The linkages for the curl cylinders attach to the frame mounts rather than the boom arms. No reasonable way to retrofit that.
There is also a cheater hydraulic system. It uses sensors & valves to actuate the curl cylinders. Expensive & a 1 trick pony. The mechanical self leveling loaders tend to be stronger but slightly heavier than their normal counterparts.

Yep, you can see the self leveling linkage on my old loader and note where the curl cylinders mount:

Lol... Is that machine missing a front axle?
