L3560 Limited Pricing

I know soil varies a great deal in Montana.

If you have tough soil consider Kubota's SSQA Round-back, Heavy-duty bucket.

What tires have you ordered?

Industrial tires were selected in the quote. I think the standard bucket should be ok for my intended uses. I doubt I'll be digging/hauling much soil. Likely will be mucking cattle manure, compost and gravel for road maintenance. Bale spear will be used if I can source some lighter round bales in the 1,000 lb or less range. Otherwise I'll stick with small square bales until my budget can fit a larger tractor. Lots of snow removal during the winter season. Although I have a feeling I'll run out and purchase the tractor and we'll have a couple/few light snow seasons. I had also considered a B2650 but I have a feeling I'd be happier with the 3560.

I received a quote on a L3560HSTC LE of $32,300 with LA805 FEL and R4’s, no other options. So your quote doesn’t sound too far off given the extra options you chose.

I was hoping you'd chime in. This is exactly what he needs to see. Thanks!!

What is your altitude?

L3560 could be underpowered with a cab at 4,000'+. Power losss is 3% per 1,000', over 1,500'.

Rimguard + cab = 1,200 pounds. (Bare tractor = 3,700 pounds.)

L3560 has modest power. With the weight of the cab you will not need to load the tires for traction.

You will be limited to a medium duty five foot Rotary Cutter.

I'm at 7,000' with my L4060 & it probably has less HP than a L3560 at sea level. It's fine for traction related stuff. But I wish for more power roading it (drops from 14mph to 6-7 on hills) & when mowing with a big flail.

I'd love a bigger tractor and likely it would be more appropriate in the long run, in fact I also looked at a 7060 on the lot, drove it around a bit and fell in love. Alas, $50k just isn't in the budget right now.
