I would stay away from new holland they can’t make a good tractor if they wanted too anymore kubota and John Deere are the two best tractor brands today. But in my heart I bleed orange.
Great review! I am in the market next year for a new one, likely going the 111 route. My Kubota is an older one with a clutch, great tractor just wears my knee out. That is some crazy shop time holy smokes... But at least you have a good dealer!
Nice review. I bought a used M7060 in April 2023 with 545 hrs on it. So far no problems. I have put about 50 hrs on it and it has regen'd twice. My set up is simpler. No loader. It has 1000 lbs wts on front and fluid filled rear tires. It is open station with an eight speed transmission that so far has worked perfectly. I was wishing for a 12 speed transmission, but after your experience I am happy with the 8 speed! I pull a 7 ft disc and have a 6 ft brush hog. I use a boom pole to drag dead trees. The 7 ft disc is like invisible. I knew a smaller tractor could have the power for the disc but smaller tractors are just too light. You need 7-8 klbs to pull in loose dirt with the disc deep. I based that on my old D2 which weighs 8klbs. I live in California and it never gets cold enough to gel the fuel. I like the tractor a lot except for a couple things. The 8 speed transmission lacks a park position. You have to depend on the brakes and the brake lock lever must be carefully set and double checked before getting off. I never park up or down a hill. If I have to stop on a hill I turn the tractor sideways first. Also I hate the location of fuel filler tube. If you fill with a 5 gal can you have to be an acrobat and climb up on the lift arms to pour it. If a 3 point is hooked up it is tough. And, interestingly, my top link was also jammed when I got the tractor. I had to buy a replacement.
I had a 2018 7060 and found your critique to be spot on. The only thing I would differ with is the lift capacity. Unlike yours, I had the skinny tires on front and, honestly, they acted as if they couldn’t handle another pound lol. I had the choice to get a M6060 cab with an 8-speed or the open-station M7060 12-speed. I drove them both and the 6060 was smooth as butter shifting. However, I worried about all that glass bushhogging and figured I could use more gears - so, again, I bought the 7060. It did well (other than the tranny) while I owned it. Great video
Take the plastic part of the fender off , I think it would look cooler without it. There is an additive to add to the fuel keeping the fuel from gelling up.
From everything you listed (pros and cons) about the tractor i am very happy i went with a new holland workmaster 75 have had 0 issues with it so far has all of the options i wanted for 46k very powerful tractor great loader capacity factory rear wheel weights factory dual rear remotes optioned canopy top and optioned 3rd function nice to see how they compare
I would have bought a new Holland or case but my local dealer is a nightmare to deal with. I’ve been waiting on a quote for a new 115c for almost 2 months now and keep getting the run around on just a quote
Been shopping for a tractor. I have a kubota zero turn. It’s nice but cheaply built. The 7060 was in my list, but not any more. MF is about the only company anymore that builds a tractor like they’re supposed to be built.
Let me know how that Kioti does with that cutter especially if you get in anything thick. My kubota does pretty good but I feel it’s leaving a lot on the table at times
@@tlcbushhogging I have put 100 hours on it so far just pulling the batwing. I have been impressed, it is a 4 cylinder engine and I have run it in 540 and 540e with great performance. I do commercial ROW maintenance for a living, I also own a few deere tractors, kubota, and 2 kioti tractors.
I have an M7060 that I got in July 2021, and my dealer claims that the M7060 is the best tractor that they make. Those bottom guards are a joke, and I have a hard time getting the tractor out of park. How did your transmission problems start?
It started the same way. It was hard to get in and out of park then suddenly the shifter just fell over to one side. Once they got it apart they said the shift forks and detents had broken and came apart. They eventually had to completely split it to get everything back together and it’s still not working correctly
Basic tractor I think was in the mid 40’s and i bought a 5 year extended warranty on the tractor and extended warranty on the loader I don’t remember exactly what the final price was I’d have to find my papers.

I don’t know of another dealer that would have done that for me. I try to keep my business with them as much as I can

Well I might have been a little greedy on my 1500lb loader increase but it Atleast needs to pick up another 1000 anyway

Thanks for the review. The pricing has went crazy. Is it all the open station 12 speed 55 to 75hp units?
From what they say yes it’s the m60 series with the 12speed that’s having all the issues both open stations and cab

@@tlcbushhogging sorry to hear that man, my local new holland dealer is very friendly, reliable, and honest. Very thankful to have them around my area
@@Broomy-ji7mtwell my kubota dealer has been awesome to me so they’ll continue to get my business

You got that right I looked hard at them before I bought this one. Wish i would have just bought the Massey
I just bought a RX7320 cab and pull a rc2512 as well. I love that tractor

I enjoyed the review on the M7060
Glad you enjoyed it

I got one but one has a broken light and the other one is not even hanging on.
How much did you pay if you dont mind me asking? Im in the market and want to make sure im not over paying.
Basic tractor I think was in the mid 40’s and i bought a 5 year extended warranty on the tractor and extended warranty on the loader I don’t remember exactly what the final price was I’d have to find my papers.
@@tlcbushhogging thanks
What's your opinion on the Korean tractors like Kioti and LS?
Those are something I’ve never dealt with I know some guys that have kioti and that say they are great tractors
PARTS!!!!???? Keep that in mind.
@@DdD-pi8jw As I understand it, they're well supported with parts due to them being the supplier for the smaller tractors of New Holland and Case,
That would suck so bad to buy a tractor that expensive with transmission issues.
How big is the gas tank?
18.5 gallons
How much does it cost
Not sure on current prices I think this one was in the 40’s
I prefer the green tractors, myself family history
They are a little to proud of that green paint for me
Thermostatically controlled fuel filter heating technology is as old as the hills, Kubota needs to add it.
