I ordered mine with OEM lights to get the brackets and switches, and I immediately swapped in 54w LED lights. I agree that they are much better than the OEM lighting!

Yep got the harness it coming from the US it was like 35.00$ free shipping amazon was going to get it from Mass. but shipping was like 41.00$free .The price in US are good but shipping price are way to high .

Thanks or manuel link il check that out .

Shipping prices within the US are not bad, it is when items get shipped across the border that it gets stupid.

I have never worried about overloading the front axle on my M6040. It's designed to handle any/all loads that can be picked up with the FEL. I do have 1550# of RimGuard in the rear tire ( 775# per tire ) and a Rhino 950 rear blade @ 1050# on the 3-point. Even with this weight I can still lift loads with the grapple that make the rear tires bounce. This is when I lower the load in the grapple and go into my "knuckle dragging" mode.

Tradosarus - makes a VERY GOOD point. Get everything you want done to the tractor done while its still on the dealers lot. A lot cheaper and quicker.

I had the following done while on the dealers lot - WR Long 3rd function valve, grapple, widen the rear tires, add RimGuard to rear tires. As to after market additions - hydraulic top link and fiberglass canopy. View attachment 684830 Waiting can be a real ***** but you have ordered a fine machine and it will all pay off.

I just traded up to a 4060 from a 2650 a couple weeks ago. So far I couldn't be happier but I haven't yet gotten to use it for what I traded up for. I need to build a 3 point ballast to keep the rear end down. I want to avoid loading the tires but may end up doing it anyway.

Transaction happened in about 3 days once I mentioned I was going to go look at a Green tractor. I did order 3 remotes and a TnT kilt at the same time, the remotes and valves are in, the TnT kit is supposed to be in tomorrow.

You are better off getting any mod's or additions done before taking the tractor home. You don't want to have to bring your tractor back to the dealer if you can avoid and sometimes you can get a better deal if the work is done while they are assembling the tractor at the dealer.

I did get the tractor from the dealer with the additions I wanted them to add.

Had I gotten the tires loaded at the dealer, and determined later I don't want them loaded, I'm stuck with loaded tires unless I want to make a mess somewhere. Should I decide I do want the tires loaded, I am capable of accomplishing that here. The reason I am uncertain if I want the tires loaded is because I am going to build a ballast box for the times I need rear ballast. The rest of the time Id prefer the tractor not have the additional almost 1100 pounds that loading the rear tires adds. Now I may find that I don't have enough weight with some ground engaging attachments or when I can't use the rear ballast, at that point, I would load the tires. The primary reason for me upgrading from a 2650 is for the increased loader capacity. I am on the cusp of starting a firewood business and I need to be able to lift facecords of wood loaded into bulk bags. The 2650 wasn't up to the task.

I purchased the kits and valves for 3 remotes as well as the TnT kit. I installed those last weekend. I'm a hands on kinda guy and what better way to get to know a tractor than to add accessories to it?

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 no luck. I wonder if we (in US) couldn't order direct from Canadian dealer?

On the ballast box I just ordered the cheap Titan Attachments and you can find it for $289 with free shipping if you look around. It's not real pretty on the welding but functional for its purpose. I loaded mine with scrap steel from demolition job and it has been more than enough ballast. Unloaded cummins 4BT off trailer, picked up big granite boulders.

X2. I have no idea why they are unavailable to the US. Must be some type of Canadian national secret.

 

[coupman35]

Yes no problem il check that today for you guys .I see them on tractor all the time

 

[pokey1416]

If your dealer would be able to sell direct to us let us know. Otherwise, maybe our dealers can contact him/her. You can PM Rj or myself with the info if you want.

Thanks again. FYI I couldn't budge that Cummins off the trailer when I had auto throttle advance on. Had to disable it and run the RPM's way up to around 2,000 - then I had all kinds of lift capability and moved it easily. I didn't think this was the way the hydraulics worked on these tractors but I'm just an old contractor who came "to the tractor side" from skid steers and we always operated at max RPM.

 

[coupman35]

Just got off the phone whit my dealer and he told me never saw them but will check whit Kubota , Here something i found on here https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/customization/138200-kubota-front-fenders-3.html

You can push the button on the loader control to speed up the engine with the auto throttle on for that very reason.
You can even set the RPM that it speeds up to.

Never thought of that. I have throttle up set to 2,000 and use it all the time moving materials with bucket. This getting old stuff sure shorts my circuit :confused3:

I purchased a 5460 last month and I wanted turf tires, been a month now and only the rears showed up so far. Dealer says they are on back order. Sold my original 3240 to my snap on dealer, very happy he is ok to let me hang onto it until I get the new tractor. Maybe your tires show up quicker than mine...

 

[coupman35]

Ya lot of stuff back order .Dealer has not call me yet , i hope when he calls me it to tell me my tractor coming home. Maybe this week Lol

 

[coupman35]

Well got my radio plug today that ready to go in the tractor.

These have most simple direct acting relief. As flow through the relief gets higher, spring needs to compress more to create a larger opening for the increased flow but also the pressure rises. The button on the handle that raises engine speed gives both greater lift capacity and higher flow. Relief pressure tests are always at high idle.
