Me too. Jeff, is it here yet?
Soon.
According to my research the prior model, L3540, had a FOLDED ROPS height of 77-1/2".
To my surprise, and Suwannee River Kubota's surprise, the new L3560 has a FOLDED ROPS height of 82".
The max height of my garage door entry is 80". (Tractor and RTV500 go inside, cars outside.)
So my new L3560 is heading to
well equipped local welding shop to have 3-1/2" sawed off the lower ROPS and the pivot brackets remounted to give FOLDED ROPS height of 78-1/2". At least that is The Plan.
The welding shop wants the Kubota there first thing one morning, so the work can be done in one day and the tractor not remain on the premise overnight.
The welding shop was closed for MLK Holiday yesterday. I will see welding shop at 8:00 AM this morning to arrange what day they will do the work.
After the ROPS sectioning it will return to Kubota to have ROPS mods painted in factory bronze/black paint and then I should get it.
I will mount new Ken's Bolt-On 5/16" Chain Grab Hooks on the bucket myself.
L3560 is larger than the L3540 to the eye. Impression may be due to (L2296) 72" Heavy Duty Round Back Bucket, with SSQA, on the LA805 FEL, it may be larger R4 tires on bigger rims. I will be doing some measuring……..
