Grand L functions / dash display ??

[Corkpuller]

Kickin tires on a new or used Grand L 3560. Questions for you Grand L owners.

I understand to change any of the operating modes, you have to cycle through button pushes on the digital dash display.
Seems like that would annoy me.

So tell me, how is it when operating the tractor and you want to make any changes on the fly.
Are most, or some, or any, of the modes you select via the button push dance, typically chosen prior to each task and left alone?
Or, do you find yourself making several, or a few changes, each time you fire up the machine and as you do your work?

Thanks

I believe you are refering to the Intellapanel display. If the panel on the L3560 is like my Grand L3240, there are only 5 modes to select from. They are hour meter, trip meter, speed in mph, speed in km/h, and PTO speed.

It’s no trouble at all to cycle thru all of them them. It takes only a few swconds. Other than PTO speed, I seldom use use them. The default display after each start is the total hour meter.

no sir, I'm talking about the modes of operation.
stall guard, auto throttle, HST roll out control, and whatever else there is,, maybe, git me another beer mode

I haven't had the need to cycle through mine while operating. I have mine set to show the speed and the PTO RPM. The other screens I may look at when I'm done for the day or before I start (such as hour usage or fuel usage), but I haven't found a need to switch through stuff while I'm operating.

I have stall guard set and I don't need to adjust it. I had the auto H-DS set at first, I quit using it after a few hours of usage because I feel that I can control it better.

Played with mine when i first got it. Found the settings I liked and have not changed them. I leave the panel showing % before regen. I did have to turn down the idle up setting last week, the button got stuck in so it was up on high all the time have not had a chance to take handle apart to see why the button stuck.

Same here.

I purchased my L3560 in January 2013.

Set parameters you want for HST/PLUS, then forget it.

Then what is the point of having the options to make changes?

I don’t have any experience with any of it, reason for my questioning.
The one feature that I know I’d use and change for different tasks is the roll out.

After taking delivery of my L6060, I experimented with the various features before programming all as I preferred. I've found no reason to change anything since.

I do turn Auto Throttle Advance on and off, depending upon work being done but it has a separate on/off button.

I occasionally scroll through the display modes (without making changes) to view engine or PTO RPM, DPF percentage, engine hours, etc.

I too wondered if I would need to make mode changes while working but have found no need to do so since set up.

Pretty much the same approach others have mentioned - set and forget. I believe the 60 series differs from my 40, but there are a lot of similarities. I like the display to have PTO RPM's showing. Right now the sweet spot for mowing is around 400 PTO RPM's. That varies with moisture both on and in the grass, plus how much I'm cutting off at the time. When mowing the throttle is set to get the desired PTO speed. When plowing snow, the tractor and engine speed are linked with the hydro pedal.

I usually run with the stall guard and auto HD-S off, and the rollout at midrange. The one thing I do use with some frequency is the HI/LO lever on the left side of the steering wheel. That's probably my favorite feature.

I use the auto throttle from time to time.....and its a matter of pushing a separate button on the dash. I use the hi / low lever on the left side of the steering column quite frequently....several times each hour of operation....and feel it is a very useful setting for me. Same for the cruise control....I use it regurlarly when applying fertilizer or when disking, etc. Sometimes I use the throttle on the joystick when doing loader operations....but not too often.

I set the roll-out and have forgotten about it since. The Stall Guard is on most always. I use the PTO screen when using the PTO implements. It's all good.....and not hard to learn.
