Any Opinions from XR3135 Owners

[ColoradoBound]

I'm looking at the XR3135 for some property I am going to be purchasing soon. I will mainly be moving large square hay bails (750lbs), maintaining the driveway and removing snow. I need the 3100 series over the 3000 series for the turbo since the property will be at 7800'. If anyone has experience with the 3100 series I would appreciate what you think of them.

Thanks.

Can't speak for the XR3135 but I have an XR3037HC. It does have the turbo. The 3135 has the LS motor which I hear only does a regen cycle about every 50 hours. The 3037 has the Shibaura engine and the regen cycle is about every 5 hours.
Specs are almost the same for the 3135 and 3037, either series will do the tasks required for you. My main uses are for snow plowing and dirt and gravel work.

I did not know that the 3000 series had a turbo. I think I like the longer regen time of the 3100 series better.

I agree but the 3100 series wasn't available when I bought mine.
Even with a regen cycle every 5 hours I hardly notice it unless I look at the dash lights.

I am trying to make the same decision, XR3135 vs XR3037. The dealer was saying how everything on the 3135 is electronic (throttle, etc). I asked if he was suggesting that was a good thing or bad thing and he said they don't know yet. He down played the 4 hour regen saying most don't notice and thought the power and throttle response were better on the 3037 but it's possibly because he had one of those sitting there. Any thoughts on the newer being mostly electronic controls and whether there is concern of the gremlins that may appear in the future from wiring issues?
