Jason takes the new Kubota Grand L4060 to the woods for the first time to see how it will perform. Would you put a new tractor in the woods?

i Have the exact same tractor and a farmi winch as well up in central Wisconsin. I use tractor chains as I am in hilly country. The only other item I would recommend is a better grill guard as the Kubota is just plastic and there are expensive items behind it if a piece of brush punctures through it. I believe the company is 511 Design. Love the 4060.. Good luck

I’ve had my Grand L4060 since 2019 and I couldn’t be happier. It does everything I’ve asked of it with absolutely zero issue. Small enough to transport with attachments on a 5 ton float but heavy and powerful enough to do most anything you’d want for a homestead, small farm, or light commercial tractor. I was initially concerned about having a cabbed tractor in the bush. As long as you’re aware of your surroundings, it’s no issue, and with the AC in the summer and heat in the winter, I’d never go back to open station.

Great feedback. I was looking at the 3560 but I thought it would be a bit too small. I'm glad I decided to go with the 4060. Need to prove the loader has the lift capacity that I need but so far, I'm really impressed. The cab is not an inconvenience at all when working with the winch and the heat is amazing!

Hi Jason: Glad to see you recovering and getting after it. I have a similar size Bobcat tractor with a cab, it’s 58 hp. You’re not crazy at all. In a cold climate it makes sense. It’s the right tool for the job. You have to use a little care, but I’ve never damaged mine in the forest.

Love that new Kubota you picked up....congrats! & no, I don't think your nuts for taking it in the bush....its a machine....work it. I have been in the same boat assessing equipment needs/wants and have been thinking about the same tractor you got or the MX5400 to pair up with the Wallenstein FX85 skidding winch. I'm impressed with how your big winch seemed to work for you, but I'm curious if you notice a big difference in pulling power whether it is impacted by size/weight of tractor and pto horse power. You could also likely get away with selling the smaller kubota now and use that one with the kranman trailer no? I currently have a B2650 and figure I'll sell when I get the bigger new tractor....but might keep it. Tuff choices when so much $$$ is tied up in equipment
@OakMountainAcotts
@OakMountainAcotts 7 ай бұрын
I looked at the MX5400 along side this 4060. Frame size was nearly the same but of course the 5400 has a larger engine. The Grand L series comes stock with so many features that it made the decision for me. I'm not sure what the rated pulling capacity is on the old Farmi winch. I normally ran it on idle with the 414 and it would pull anything on our property. That is the way I am running it on the 4060, maybe at 1000 rpm and it is working exactly the same. I think the frame size and HP on the 414 and this 4060 are pretty close so no really difference that I can see at this time except I have 4WD to get into the woods in the Winter time! The FX85 looks impressive. If I was to upgrade I would spring for the remote controlled unit. Very useful if you work alone like I do. Saves a lot of steps... My 2601 and T1750 is a capable setup. I am thinking about selling it though to purchase a larger T5000 trailer that would go behind the 4060... kind of redundant to have a whole other set of equipment to haul the wood to the yard! Thanks for watching, Jason.

How nice it must be to ride in a nice warm cab. This machine should help you gain efficiency in the process. When I got my Kioti CK4010,Ifound that I needed chains as soon as snow was on the ground. I got a set of Trygg studed chains and have no regrets. Looking forward to see how you do in the long run. The one advice I would give you is to fabricate a grill guard ASAP. I did that for mine before even taking it in the bush. I hope to some day add a belly pan on mine to prevent stray branches from poking in the tender areas underneath the tractor. I think you guys made a good decision trading the side by side. Enjoy!

Hi, we purchased this property in 1996 and it was cut at that time by a contractor as part of the transaction. They did a lot of high grading and clear cutting... we ended up with the property. So we have been working on restoring the forest since then. Building our road system, hunting fields and are just now at the point where we can take out some inferior trees to help the dominant trees. Our goal was to set this up to supplement our retirement. We are about 10 years out from that now so trying to get some good equipment in the line up that I can continue to work for a few years. - Jason
