I have this same tractor. I bought it in Feb 2022. On your seat you can flip it up and the pto will run for a chipper etc with no operator. If you dont have the switch for that you can buy 1. You should not need the weight. I love mine as well.

I love the idea of new tractors but for $40,000 I bought a 97 hp skid loader AND a 60 hp tractor used. The tractor had 150 hours on it and was practically brand new. Fixed a few mechanical issues nothing major and I can do anything. It pays to know how to work on your own stuff. Maybe one day I’ll buy a shiny new tractor but whenever I think about it decide not to. Nice tractor though!

My uncle wanted to trade one his basically new kubotas L3560 on a bigger one. Dealer told him he would lose a huge amount of money due to kubotas used internet rates were 9-10% and they would never be able to sell it over a brand new one. While we haven’t had any break downs with the new kubotas the John Deere’s we have are a lot better lay out from being in the seat stand point. As far as John Deere’s right to repair while some people are capable of doing repairs after working maintenance for 20 years a lot of people who think they can fix something have absolutely no business working on equipment. So I can see both sides

hey man, we have 20 acres in nova scotia, we have let the maintenance get away from us since moving here 3 years ago. we have like 4 acres of lawn, another 5 of hay fields, the rest a mix of treed area and very over grown Forrest with tons of dead fall. we been considering biting the bullet and getting a Kabota l2501, i've yet to come across a story of someone in a situation like mine or yours who regret the purchase.... but I suppose that wouldnt make for a great youtube video, maybe thats why?

Yipes! All those connections on the outside of the FEL loader and close to front tire. What a lousey place. Good luck with your front spindle bearings if you keep coming close to lift capacity of the Loader. Make a weight barrel for the 3pt hitch it'll save that weak front axle and help with snow traction.

Many people get confused by pipe/ tubing sizes. Pipe is measured inside diameter and tubing is measured outside diameter.

Thanks for this video! I'm waiting for mine to be put together and it's going to replace the Rural King 37HC that I'm getting rid of. Finding a local dealer who is close by with the parts needed to fix issues is the primary reason I'm going away from RK and changing to Kubota. There have been some odd issues with my old tractor and it's just not worth the aggravation.

I tried this way of preheating the sap also but I couldn't find a way to control the temperature . So I used an old aquarstar heater jacket. It's all copper and I just enclosed it on the heat pipe so I could remove it when it got to hot, especially when you run out of sap. worked for me

I too have an L4060. One could use the seat occupancy lead by using a Y52C2 connector. eBay sells them with the pigtails/ wires attached to the connector making it as simple as unplugging the factory wires going to your seat and plugging in the new connector and using the two wires coming off of it to jump that lead. So one’s tractor always thinks someone is in the seat. This means you can even make fine adjustments forward or back when hooking up your 3 point. Or stand up to see the tips of your pallet forks better while driving forward or backward. And run the PTO when not in the tractor. At your own risk of course. I subscribed to your channel nice work on the videos!

I've got the Woodland Mills 88 chipper and their stump grinder as well. I love both implements. You're either mistaken, or you just misstated that they're made in Canada. Neither the chippers or the stump grinders are MADE in Canada. The company IS based in Canada, but the implements are manufactured in China. Still good quality though.

At 7:45, you can eliminate the gap by loosening the bolts for the bottom and side panels, then lifting the bottom panel up, until it is flush, or a little higher. Then tighten all the bolts. I had the same problem. It is a great chipper.

I have the grand L series. To run the pto outside, you need to set the park brake. But if you move the "tredle" with the park brake applied, it shuts off the tractor. I also have a self release snatch block, makes the winch so much easier to use. But I have a "endless" sling, so I can loop it through it's self and not use a shackle.

As a fellow creator, this video deserves much more attention than this. You have done an excellent job framing everything up, putting the Subtitles in and providing good information while making it beautiful to watch. On a side note, generally this far south people dont tap trees and make syrup due to poor yields. We decided to do it anyway and believe it or not on our 12 acre property we have 3 decent sized sugar maples. Any other are Red maples. We collected sap and boiled it down over a propane burner by the camp fire and finished it on the stove. The first time we accidently over heated it and burned it and made it hard. The second time was a success and we enjoyed an INCREDIBLE flavor that was VERY strong and smokey. Honestly, it was a bit too sweet for us. We did it to learn and do something while teaching the children. Great video again!
