Thanks Kevin for going into the details regarding the configurations in which these tractors come in, much appreciated, keep the videos coming when u can.
I have a Grand L, 3560 LE. Limited Edition.... Lol. I've reversed the whole limited part. It didn't come with key features like, side mirrors, front work lights, etc.. But I completely agree with you, these are really a decent unit for their cost! So, mine was a very impulsive purchase. I live in Cheyenne Wyoming, we received 30 inches of snow, mid-March 2021. I know numerous people with equipment, none would make time for me, or return my phone calls. For those people, don't bother calling me for my services again.... Anyway, no rentals available. Finally, I just decided to purchase this "toy". Dad (who recently passed away) had an old Blazer with a plow... The plow sits about 15" off the ground. He was digging his way out, but got it buried... So, after I purchased the tractor, I went and saved him... The thing is, the tractor is just a pleasure to operate.. Even being the runt 35hp, it still does everything I could ever ask for. You have a really good view, and things are well thought out.. My only complaint, the seat. Go drive a John Deere 1 series for an hour, it's WAY, WAY, WAY more comfortable!! Anyway, great video! 😁👍
Very nice machine and setup. I use an ssqa plow or bucket on the front, and blade or blower on the rear. In hindsight I wish I had gone with the front quick hitch for the blower, plow, and brush. Does the quick hitch frame have to come off to attach the loader? How long does it generally take from hitch to loader?
Wow Kevin beautiful tractor and blower. Personally I prefer a plow but man that sure blows the snow. How much snow did y’all get? Down here in utica we got about 6” it was kinda heavy sugar snow. We’ll have a great winter and happy new year
Thank you, arks and Sparks, we got between 7:00 and 9 in in total over the preceding 24 hours which was very dense snow like you described. So far I'm loving this tractor. Looking forward to spring when the blower is off and the loader is on and I can be out in the forest. Thanks again and have a safe and comfortable warm winter!
Very nice presentation here. You are close to us here in Rome NY. As of recent I was wondering if I should look into a 4 cylinder vs the 3 cal of my L3560TLB Cab model. However I can't complain about the power for what I use the Tractor for. So far so good as well for myself. How mana hours do you have on yours? Ive got a 2 year review coming up (Pre warranty expiration- which I might continue at $3600 for an additional 2 years to cover the Tractor, Loader, and Backhoe). I have had major issues with the Dealer I purchased the L3560 from (Whites Supply in Central NY), but hopefully the new Dealer/Service agent will be able to take care of my future service needs. I still have the option for the midpoint and fronts no blower... I guess we will see as I get older! I have very little space to take care of so I doubt the additional $8000 or so to add that might be overkill. BUT... I have been known to help out neighbors with snow and other needs, so I would definitely use it! Great Video!! Don & Carol It's a Mad Mad Homestead!!
Hi Don, thanks for the comment! I'm sorry to hear that you've had challenges with your local dealer. I started searching for a reliable Kubota dealer about 3 years ago and unfortunately I ended up going all the way to Palmyra New York in order to find someone that I felt more comfortable with. There are four local dealers, one of which you've dealt with so far. I checked with other new tractor owners that purchased kubota's from the surrounding dealerships and unfortunately some of them paid way more than they needed to and weren't matched appropriately for their needs on their property. Also some of them sold equipment without educating the new tractor owners about the risks with their equipment/attachments. For example, no ballast for a front end loader, the wrong tires for their application, not educating them about proper throttle/rpm speed for the task that they were performing. Were performing. The list goes on! Finding a good dealership is not easy and requires some research. Unfortunately many people nowadays are watching UA-cam channels and going to a dealership rather blind, not knowing exactly what their needs are and therefore are not getting the equipment that matches their functions on the property that they hope to accomplish. I did just check out your Kubota service issue video that you just posted. Great video! Keep up the good work! And have a great day!
Question: how do you like the ski's on the blower? I found they dig into my gravel driveway really deep in the beginning of the season no matter how I have them set, and they wore out after the first winter.
You're right. The skis or shoes tend to dig in to the soft ground, especially early in the season before the ground has frozen solid. I've never actually tried to adjust the shoes on my blowers as the ground that I snow blow over is so uneven. Hopefully over the next two years I'll be putting some decent surfaces on our roadways and driveway. However, that's taken aback seat since there's so many projects that need to be done first. I got to say these kubota's are fantastic !
@@GrowingABetterTomorrow sweet. Do residential snow and was trying to get a sense of what’s what. Subsequently (this week) bought a l6060. Excited to send it this winter!
How much did this did this whole tractor cost you? I live in Illinois would like to have a back blade on it also but the only bad thing I would need a trailer to move it I plow 35 places each time it snows.
Hi George, I just posted a new video on the build of the Grand l. 6060 Kubota tractor. I went through the website Kubota USA and went through the entire process of selecting the components so you could see exactly how the tractor is configured and what the costs are at this point. I also share what I paid at the end of the video. Thanks for your question and have an awesome day!
We bought our l4060 with a cab and front mount snowblower, worth every penny spent!
Thanks Kevin for going into the details regarding the configurations in which these tractors come in, much appreciated, keep the videos coming when u can.
Very nice tractor and cab, front mount snowblowers are great to have, much easier to operate 👍🏻.
Congrats on the new tractor I’m sure you will enjoy it.
Thanks 👍

That’s a lot of snow. ❄️❄️❄️❄️
Yes it is but thankfully it isn't as much as we used to get. Stay warm and healthy! And have a great day! !
This was a very nice video I can watch your video all day long thanks bud 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing the information on your machine. J.Au-en
My pleasure!
Great machine!
Thanks for the video.. I'm planning on placing an order in the spring but wow so expensive I must say...

Nice video. You just work around your property or do a bunch of properties? If the latter, How many miles do you put on per storm?
We only use the equipment on our own property.
