New tractor advice - 11 acres long driveway, Kubota/LS/Mahindra

[chim]

Apparently Kubota is coming out with a Grand L3560 LE version in the late fall it should be on the lots. LE basically means fewer bells and whistles but is about 1000lbs heavier than the 3901 and can utilize the 805 loader. Also has the same ergonomic operator station as the Grand Ls. Looks to be about $2k more than the 3901. I am waiting for more numbers but this might be worth waiting for.

Has anyone heard of this new version.

Sounds like a great unit. Specs are on the Kubota website and I think Messicks has info on them as well. In my experience, using a 6' mower it's nice to have more than 32HP if you have any hills. Can't beat a climate-controlled cab for comfort.

It has been out about year. If I remember correctly (search YouTube for videos on it), the following items are left off: mirrors, cruise control, front cab lights, right door handle, no 12 volt outlet.

Although, the wiring/mounts for all those things are in place, so they can be added fairly easy.

This would be an open station. Still deciding on which one. The 3901 at 7 years financing is great. Ughh decisions.

The HST+ transmission is really nice. I didn't realize how much I would use just that one feature.

Getting the L2501 in 10 days. They adjusted the financing here in the Carolinas to 84 months. The more i read the more I realized i didn't need the 3560 for my small property, with the loader being the same for the L2501 vs. L3901 I couldnt justify the extra $5k in cost. given my small amount of bush hogging that will occur.

We shall see how it goes.

Thanks for all the help.

At our last house in Florida I only had 2.5 acres and my old Kubota L2900 (~30 hp) was a really nice size. It was small enough to where it was easily trailered. It had a lift capacity of 1K pounds at the pins which did 90% of everything I needed it to do. If you ever need to upsize due to changing circumstances you should be easily be able to sell for a decent price. About three years ago I sold my 1998 L2900 for $14.5k with a few attachments, paid $20k for it new with the loader and box blade. Not a shabby investment.

Yes that is a great investment. The beauty of tractors. Why my truck is old and my tractor will be new. Guess would be different info drove more than 15 miles per day.

If I need to ever upgrade it痴 because I bought a significant amount more land. My dad is getting an 8000lb excavator in the next few months so that痴 gonna be awesome to borrow every few months.
