Nice

[@jamespritchett1886]

We live in a town of about 45,000 people tops and we got 3 maybe 4 Dollars General Stores. Like the new tractor work horse tires. Lots of options. The auto throttle is nice.

[@MikeZMonroe]

- Tractor Dealership. Noticed wire cable, I assume to deter thieves. - Eva work habits. Her organization skills learned at home. A major plus to her success at PSU and life. - Got OWTM email yesterday. Thanks.

[@Hallnout]

Good morning Morgans and friends. Thanks for the upgrades info Mike. Hope everyone has a great day. Thanks

[@davidmorse8432]

Hi Michael!

[@Hallnout]

@@davidmorse8432 good morning David.

[@peterhartman6128]

Mike and Melissa, I am sitting here watching one of the best commercials for Kubota. Normally, I do not watch commercials. However, I have watched this one. Your association with Kubota is a model that companies would be wise to follow. Honest description of features and no high pressure hype! Well done.

[@jediknight737]

Completely agree with you. Whoever signed this family deserves a raise. Not one other company getting their investment back like Kubota with these fine folks (and vice versa)!

[@Tdale85]

Good morning Morgan family! Have a great weekend!

[@profdave2861]

The auto-throttle has been standard in the Grand L series for years. I bought my Grand L4060 in 2019, and everything you showed on the new LX 4020 (and more) is already in the Grand L series. In fact, one of the many features that made me go to Kubota instead of other brands was the integrated REAL third function valve option. Do most people NEED all the features in the Grand L (and now in this LX 4020)? No… but it sure is nice to have! If I ever replace or upsize my L4060, it would be very hard to buy anything less!

[@markbuetow2351]

I bought a Grand L4060 for my first and only tractor and could not have picked a better tractor. The features are great and I now expect that of any tractor. If you want the ultimate accessory, get a hydraulic top and side link system. I would never be without one.

[@cdmajesty4803]

I also have one, but don't have the top link. Sure love that tractor!

[@brentbrown8393]

I had four daughters and two sons, it was a wonderful time for me when the kids were at home, now that the kids have gone their ways the quietness and loneliness get to me... I can't get rid of our old van because of all the family memories it was part of. Eva has been raised right and has a good head on her shoulders. I don't see her going in the wrong direction, her mom and dad have done a great job of raising and loving her. I can sort of feel your loneliness with Eva gone, it never entirely goes away but it's a good thing. Nice tractor, if I was a young man, I would do some trading myself.👍

[@davidkirby3667]

While visiting my brother in-law a couple of weeks ago in Morrisdale, PA he must have made 5 trips to the Dollar General store in the 2 days we were there. That was my first introduction to a Dollar General. So when you mentioned it I had to see if there is one near my home in Herndon, VA. The closed one is in Manassas, VA 13 miles away. I'm sure we will see more openings in the near future.

[@Elfin4]

Just to make you aware, I tried clicking the link on this post for Eva's channel and it said it wasn't available? Great video guy and it's always good to see your kids doing well in anything they do. Sort of reassuring that you have done your parental job in guiding them down the right path in life. Stay safe. Regards from Tynemouth, England.

[@midnightmusicfanx36]

Another great video. Your Kubota partnership is a major win-win. Eva is a sharp cookie. She'll quickly discover the rhythm of college. The trick is to do as much as possible early in the semester and to capitalize on unexpected "free time" (class cancellations, study or project group time changes etc)...Both of these strategies allow for extra study time and focus at midterms and finals.

[@junkersish]

Our 2 closest Kub dealerships (about 50 miles from each other) carry a very different inventory from yours. No skid loaders, a couple of wheeled ones, tons of mini-ex but none of the larger ones like yours and a slew of tractors including quite a few large ags in the 100-200 HP range

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks Mike and Melissa and the rest of the crews around there and THE SUPERVISOR , hello Hunter good to see you!! I like your new tractor, sounds like it has what you want and need in a do it all tractor with the equipment you have around there. Glad you got to have lunch and check up on Eva and that she's doing well at school. Enjoy the rain and send some down to Deep East Texas , we desperately need some rain to stop the fires and cool things down around here. Still getting above 100 degree days , maybe next week we will get a couple days under the hundred mark? Stay safe and keep up the great videos and the fun you have. Fred. Oh yea, fill some tags this fall.

[@Dorchwoods]

I've got a 25 horsepower Kioti CK2620 with an 1800lb lift capacity. I move full IBC totes of oak and it works really well. I do have about 500lb counterweight but it works perfectly around the wood yard!

[@janskoropinski10]

The one thing to consider in using the auto throttle over just having the revolutions running continuously over 2200 RPMs is that the tractor is idling more. So it will require more regenerations. It seems that when a tractors engine is working hard regens are fewer. That small a tractor with as much power really won’t have to work hard do do most things.

[@wayawolf1967]

Eva is a good apple. I think she is like me meaning that "peer pressure" will repel her. Having the ability to see through what is being presented as "fun" or a "good time" seems to be a rare trait these days but I think she has it in spades.

[@donnlowe9129]

What it takes is common sense and good judgment both of which Eva has.

[@mikethompson4336]

I love Dollar General, my family are not fans but we have 3 in our area. It is nice to run in grab something and go, not like a bigger grocery store. Nice tractor Morgans.

[@northeastoutrider2124]

Mike. I've had the L6060 Grand for over ten years now and it does just about everything I could need across my acres of land. Like you, I have my main house and shop building with loads of expansive landscape, trails and project areas beyond. The only other thing I needed was a strong BX for the grass cutting with a rotary broom to clean my road and a rake to clean up after the winter has gone. The multitude of attachments I have for the L60 do it all. Get yourself a large snow bucket. I use the 72" for the majority of my snow removal and It's better than having a snowplow on a truck in my opinion. And we do not yet have a Dollar General in our town but we are getting a new Costco in a few months so I'm excited about that...

[@roberthealy9389]

Dollar General, Ace Hardware and a Lowe's close by what more can you need?? Very nice new tractor, I love watching your videos especially when you get new ( toy's ) I mean needed equipment to do all the big work around the property. Just having to do the clean up after the huge wind storms is enough to see you need all that. I couldn't even imagine having to pay someone to cut up all those downed trees and digging the stumps and leveling out the ground😂 it would cost way more than the equipment does. Keep up on all the great videos and I will keep watching.

[@robk1310]

Need a Sheetz

[@rickharper1497]

Nice tractor Mike! Our church has a BX2350, purchased back in 2014. We have a 60" mower deck on it plus we also have a tiller and box blade too. Kubota makes good equipment! Wise on their part to partner with you, very good advertisement for them especially with the care you take in keeping the equipment in clean condition and good working order. Never miss a video!!

[@tylerd4522]

I bought a 3310 before I knew they were coming out with the 20 series. It's still a great machine, but yeah, wish I'd waited! That quieter transmission alone would've been worth it. It hasn't bothered me too much yet, but it is a bit irritating.

[@gravytrainoutdoors]

That’s a great sized tractor. I have an L6060 and I find it too big for some of the job sites I use it on. I end up using my Mahindra 3616hst which would be similar in size to the lx4020 but it doesn’t have a cab. I sure like having a cab haha. Having 30 pto horsepower in a small frame size is really valuable. I utilize that extra horsepower on my Mahindra far more than I would have expected when I first bought it. Not a big deal if all you do is loader work but why have a tractor then! If we have a good snow year this winter I will be looking at adding a lx4020 to my fleet!

[@larrycates7655]

I like the features on that tractor , I just wish they would find another drive system other than the tredal pedal system .

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Looks really nice. That loader looks smooth. Its a bit big for my use, the only thing my B2601 won't do for me is lift a ton. I am limited to about 700lbs plus the forks at 200lbs. Thanks for the video! :)

[@greghomestead8366]

We replaced the Bx2660 that we bought new 11 years ago with the B2601. I only have 25 hours on it but sure like it.

[@wildbill23c]

My BX2680 is around 350-400lbs max lift capacity, and even then its not very stable. It fits through the door of my shop, that's why I have such a small tractor. That and I only have an acre of land, so I don't need much...just needed a loader for moving stuff around on the property....a grapple would be nice but they don't make one light enough for the BX to be of any use it seems. I got the pallet forks for a compact tractor so that really reduced my lift capacity, can't get a hold of any that are lighter weight, even a shorter set of pallet forks would help but they want as much for those as they do the whole pallet fork kit.

[@skeeet5758]

That 6 way blade was straight love on that enclosed cab... On the excavator

[@lawrencelipon8673]

👍👍👍👍👍👌Nice tractor sizing seems to be right on for acreage and multi use applications and will compliment your other equipment, will be nice to hear your thoughts when you give the full review…….I do love the orange stuff so reliable!!

[@timmarsh8303]

Good morning Morgan Family, What a weird and wonderful sky that is Mike. Nice looking tractor I’ve never driven one or have one but I am amazed how you make it look so easy. Great to see the new addition can’t wait to see it working. Keep up the fantastic videos.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@mberry7a]

I found looking at Messicks parts diagram that the new LX20 series has a planetary drive rear axle! Which is awesome. The LX10 series uses the spur and pinion gear. The planetary set has 3 planet sets that engage the sun gear so way more contact should be bulletproof.

[@buildingsbeginnings]

Thank you for this info!

[@rexwoodall2179]

M&M, that is a nice tractor update! Eva will settle in and realize that “choosing one’s battles” (much like raising children) is the way to proceed. She will learn that prioritizing is one key to effective leadership as well as a key to life. Love you guys!

[@ranger6x660]

Mike I just started using a 1995 Kubota 5400 at work with a cab that has heat and air. It has 1100 hrs. It looks a little rough but runs like a top and loads of power.

[@dj-nr8nm]

That's a beauty! I've used a b3030 which is similar to your old Kubota and I agree that going to the 40hp range was a good move. I run a kioti nx45410 now, which I really like. The Kiotis have a little kubota in them as they used to make transmissions for Kubota.

[@juliejoyce3005]

Just bought a new kubota Slv75. So popular they can’t keep in stock. On a waitlist

[@petermavus4131]

Mike visits a candy store and brings home some new sweets 🍭.Good luck with it .And to top it off with a shiny new truck.Surprisingly you didn’t go into glucose shock.

[@joshloughner847]

In 2019 I went with a B26 and I believe the lift capacity is around 1100lbs. Surprising of a machine that size. Very impressed with the 4020, Mike. I think all it's missing is a heated steering wheel and a heated/AC seat. 👍

[@mr.redneck2715]

Put my 4 hundred pound grapple on and not much left for logs. Just saying!

[@oldjarhead1125]

Good morning Morgan's! Interesting to hear the differences between you two. Cupholder, storage, wallet.....for her while the guys like the power. Love you guys....Greetings from the Old Jarhead in WNC.

[@jeffroberts760]

Yes haha I always get a kick out of how much women love storage and radios in vehicles I found a gem of a used 4Runner for my wife - low miles, ran great, everything works, v6, etc - the guy had put in a double din touchscreen radio and that was what sold it for her lol

[@steveashworth6707]

That's a really nice tractor and I like the auto/throttle even thow I'm not a fan of an accelerator pedal, we finish mow around 13 acres and I keep my throttle set at a certain RPM to run the PTO, I couldnt hold my foot down that long, lololo!. But I love these new Hydrostatic tractors because you use to have to keep the engines running 3/4 to full throttle to not starve the pumps, but obviously new engineering and the automatic throttle will keep pumps happy at any speed!, I think that's fantastic!, supply and demand in one pedal!. The cab is like riding in a Cadillac!, definitely a tractor I would buy!.

[@paybax]

That’s what cruise control is for

[@Jeffrose_]

My dad just bought a kubota. He said it is the biggest one with hydrostatic transmition. I can hardly wait to see it. He is 85 yrs. old and has about 31 acres. I like the tracktor you have. It looks like the perfect size for what you need.

[@jakeschisler7525]

I'm pretty sure that all the tractors made they all have changed to higher horsepower and still a smaller size tractor. I have an LS 3033 H and it doesn't have the emissions like others. Mine they don't make anymore but i can still buy parts for it through a dealer and online. It was funny when I was looking to buy a new tractor. I went to John Deere and I asked some questions and the salesman walked away. Went to Kubota and I guess he thought i wasn't good enough or whatever so they lost a sale. The LS dealer was very pleasant and I told him i had never heard of LS. We became very good friends over the years but we moved away. This tractor i have has quite a few options that others don't.

[@davidbishop4015]

Good luck with the new tractor. A lot of nice features. Stay safe.

I cut a ton of wood these past few weeks in this 90’s high humidity. It was grueling! Nice new tractor.

[@howard5567]

Mike: thanks for the heads-up. Now I can call my Kubota dealer, to be on the watch for someone trade-in. You are "one" of the best leading indicatoes. The best sales pitch " It Just Like Mikes". To bad you don't drive Toyota. Catch you on the next one.

[@dandaniels4558]

Yes I can believe it's almost September and fall and I'm happy for it. I'm so sick of 95 to 100 degrees and high humidity and bad thunderstorms and tornado warnings. Enough I'm ready for cool fall weather and the leaves to change . Bring it on 🙏 Nice tractor Mike I can't believe it's time to trade the tractors out again. Looks like supply chain issue has come back to normal at Kubota atleast . Yeah there's dollar generals everywhere around me here just got a knew one right down the road out here in the country. There's several of them and there all about 5 miles from eachother.its amazing they do that well that they can put them that close to eachother. But the population is growing leaps and bounds around here too. There's so many housing developments within 10 miles of me. There everywhere and the rent in all the town homes and condos and apartments are at $1800 to $2500 a month .it's gotten so ridiculous. But of coarse it's great for the owners of all those rentals there getting dirty rich. But it's so bad for kids coming out of high-school that don't want to go to college and want to live on there own I don't know how ghere going to do it. I've heard some say there going to have to rent a place with two other couples to be able to afford anything. The government juat doesn't care about anyone anymore.there all about themselves and stealing and embezzling our tax money .

Whoever developed Dollar General’s business plan is a genius! Those stores have popped up like weeds and they always seem to be busy.

[@SteelheadTed]

Reminds me of the Krispy Kreme store opening craze. They overdid it though, at least out here in the west, and closed some of those stores within a few years.

[@DavidRobinson-mx6cl]

How do you know about All this when you only just got it home ? Even with research you don't know ! Application of what everyone else that gets this equipment will vary .

Nice tractor Mike. But for my money its LS. More tractor for a lot less money. I had a Kubota that I traded in on the LS MT342HSC. The Kubota was a great small tractor. Loved it. But the LS is just so much more.

[@stevecarney6750]

The days are definitely getting shorter fall is not far off. Eva is definitely entertaining, she's so fun to watch.

[@stevem6711]

The throttle up upon peddle push was available years ago, on deluxe models. My 2007 L3540 has it. Those were known as Grand L's. There's also a stall protection built in. I'm surprised they put a LA545 loader on a 40 hp tractor. Lift capacity is 2.2 x 545 = 1199 lbs. My L3540 has the LA 724 which gives a lift cap. of 1593.

[@jefftrag1956]

Did you see my comment about making the haññway to the bathhouse in WV wider and enclosed. If wider you can have shelves and maybe a coat hanger section on both sides of the hallway. Lots of storage /pantry space leaving the inside of the cabin neater.

[@jamesschlueter8285]

My little RK tractor has auto throttle as did, I believe, Mike’s first tractor from Rural King way back! Great feature.

[@edjmcc1958]

Good morning , Morgan's ☕️☕️! Nice tractor ! You surprised us , as that hadn't been mentioned in previous videos 🤷🏻🤣 Definitely an upgrade .. you will enjoy the extra hp and stability . Sounds like Eva has already adapted to her new life in college, she has her mind set to go well I believe ! Hoping you use the GMC to haul the tractor, see the difference between the two trucks 👍👍👍 as always, enjoyed my morning coffee with the Morgan's 👍👍

[@ranmarks6739]

Mike i see they did away with the clutch ! I have a GL3130 HST that has a clutch that has to be stepped on to start the tractor.. i also use it to gradually get the PTO rolling better for Implements belts and shear pins ... but what I really like about the clutch was in the winter disengaging the clutch saved power in starting the motor once running you can release the clutch and the hydraulics start and warm up too !!

[@mr.redneck2715]

Howdy Morgan clan! Our little town does not have a Dollar General, but it has a Family Dollar. And as far as 3 range transmission, my Kioti CK2610 comes with 3 ranges and also has the loader lockout function. Does the other LX not have either of these? Daughter Eva will get a routine down soon and prosper. Say howdy to family and have a day.

[@hugostiglitz8465]

I have the loader lockout function on my b2320 and it was built in 2011.. just an fyi.

[@jhbrown53]

The new features look awesome but I'll keep my non-emmision L3800 Kubota all day long. Same HP but can fix everything myself. Fyi you can buy the L2601 (26hp) model and pull the shims out of the fuel pump to increase to 33hp. Kubota retarded the timing to get that model under the emissions threshold but is the same motor as the 33hp

I’m not as familiar with Kubota models, but I figured all your tractors had auto throttle Looks like a nice tractor

[@jramsdenbb]

Beautiful new tractor, Mike. I think you hit the sweet spot in the middle of the two currently on loan and the fact that you can tow it to WVA is a bonus for sure. Understand that sooner or later the other two tractors will be going back and the 40 series will do the job nicely all on its own. Couple of questions…. Does it require DEF? Are the rear tires loaded? If it will pick up a full tote of hardwood, are you going to consider 4 or 5 hundred pounds of weight to hang on the QH? How about wheel weights? These are all things I would consider depending on what I was planning to do with it. Thanks for the walk around. Very informative. Have a day!

[@keithburch5506]

Nice Mike. It does sound like the tractor for your needs. Man, they just keep getting better. I wonder what you'll have ten years from now. I do follow miss Eva. Always great content on all the Morgan channels. Now, let's see that 4020 in action, yay!👍🚜❤️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
