Buying Advice Kubota new L3560 grand

[montelatici]

I bought an L3560 HSTC (Cab) in August 2019. I am pretty happy with the tractor. I did not get the hoe but I did get the 4/1 bucket for the LA805 loader with the Kubota third function kit. I also did not think it was wise to get the smaller loader. I have not needed to take it back to the dealer since I did my own 50 hour service. I already had a Woods BB60x Brushbull and a few other implements like pallet forks and a stump bucket which I used on my L3700 SU, which this tractor replaced. After about a decade of mowing after we sold the horses, I don't need to brush hog the property anymore and I use a B2601 with a belly finish mower and a dual action sicklebar to do the mowing so I sold the Woods BB60.

All in all a very comfortable tractor with the A/C and hear, plus I installed a bluetooth stereo. I think the cab makes it just a little tippier than an open station tractor so I am a little less comfortable on inclines with it than with the old L3700SU.

Mike,

I wished I could have gotten a garage done before I got the tractor but financially it would have been a bear even short term.

I have a lean to that I configured off of the end of one of my two 10’x22’ wood sheds. It’s got a 10’ height and covers the entire tractor to protect it from snow/ice, rain, and sun.
I can put the backhoe into a garage at another property I own a mile away so it is maintained from the weather.

As for the implements... 6 in all, I’ll build additional storage sheds to cover those items along with my kayaks, canoes, Hobie cat 14.5, and a paddle boat! The two 19’ sail boats and the 32ft pontoon will need to live outside!!!!!

I'm currently considering adding another wood shed (12'x24') or build a lean to off my current 12'x20' shed for the L2501.
