I found a 4760 with a cab on a dealers lot today and was able to check it out. I was pretty impressed with how much room there was. I'm a pretty big guy and that was a big drawback on the John Deere 3039R I looked at. Is the 3560 cab much smaller than the 4760 or will they be the same?

I love my L3560HSTC, but I wish it had more power as I have a very steep hill on my driveway. I would have gotten a larger "60" but I was constrained by the height of my barn entry. As it is, the 3560 just makes it in with less than an inch of clearance. But I love the roomy cab, the AC and heat in the winter.
Well I pulled the trigger and ordered the tractor. Thank you all for the information. It really helped. Hopefully it'll get here before October but if not I'll wait. I got the L3560 with Cab and a rear remote with detent. Also got the LA805 loader with the 72" round back bucket and third function. Anything that I should add while I'm ordering? I can't see paying 400.00 for a radio when I can just add that myself. Other than that I can't think of anything to add to the tractor.

Search on here for my name & radio. The adapter can be had for under $10. That adapter is all you need to add a $50-150 radio. Speakers & antenna are already there. No need to pop the roof to install it either, just remove the plate over the radio hole.
I got the big alternator required for the rear defroster (new window with the heater elements in it). I like it for the snow. Front & rear wipers are handy.
Air ride seat is an extra Grand. But if you have a bad back like me so worth it.
Loaded rear tires aren't mandatory like they were on my old L3200. That machine was way lighter, especially in the back. Good idea to load the rears for traction & stability, but it won't help the low HP.
I got 3 rear remotes, 2 float, 1 double acting detent. Ordered TnT, but the (non-Kubita) cylinders the dealer kept getting sucked. Refunded & im waiting on FitRite cylinders still.
Don't get the rear work lights. I put in my own front & rear light bars. You'll be better off getting your own LED lights to replace the standard front ones & add the rears. Rears are all wired up, just need to plug into the wires there & plug in a new rear switch. I put in overkill power to run my light bars & other future stuff. But the stick wiring will handle some slightly bigger than stock lights.
Tires are a personal or task choice. R1s have better traction, especially in loose dirt & mud. R4s are more durable, last longer, tear up turf less & cary heavier loads a little better. I'm happy with my compromise R4s.

To add the cheap adapter I used may have inconsistent colors. There is some tractor radio place selling em for $25 or so that may be more reliable & documented for color/position to match up to your radios harness.
Don't remember if I documented my color codes. There is a Kubota RTV radio wiring thread on here that I think had the right color codes listed for all Kubotas.

Here is a thread on the few custom touches I made to my L3560:
