My new L3540 in the crate

[PHILIP8N]

Thanks for the information on the width everyone. The 66" box blade was a special order, so hopefully I'm not stuck with it. I'll check with the dealer tomorrow to get actual measurements.

Blame it on the dealer, he should have known and re-directed you to a 72" model. Philip.

I think the measurements in the brochures are on ag tires set all the way in.

Congrats, you'll love the L3540 ask me how I know? I too started with a BX23TLB then a B3200TLB and now the Grand L3540, great size tractor for all of my uses, you may want to look into a bolt on cutting edge for the 72" round back bucket. Have a blast.

I have the L3540 as well and with R4 tires it's 6' with plenty of room to go wider, almost zero room to go narrower.

I run a 6' cutter in anything from grass to saplings and the cutter handles it fine.

Getting closer to delivery, hopefully early next week. I decided to go with a 6' cutter.

Removing the 3ph won't be as quick as on my B2920. The upper and lower links appear to be bolted on.

The dealer recommended a quick hitch. What's the consensus on them?

Yep a quick hitch is a great deal. IMHO

Yes they use ag tires for their measurements. The L3130 I had with industrials was about 66" to the outside of the back tires.

Lots of people love them; I have two sets lying around somewhere I don't use and can't even find all the parts anymore.

The tractor, box blade, and aerator arrived today. No room on the trailer for the brush hog, so it will be delivered next week.

I loved my smaller tractors but this thing is awesome. I have to start making up things to do with it now.

I already got in trouble for spending too much time on it today. The wife came out and gave me the look. I parked it soon after.

She gave you the look? What did you think? Is that where she normaly parks her car? Those are pretty big ones if it is. Philip.
