Price for a 2011 L3540 HSTC?

FJRick · Apr 17, 2013

Hello everyone! I went and looked at a 2011 L3540 HSTC with a 734 loader and 51 hrs. It looks new! The only problem is I was checking new price with mid PTO and a 72 mower and I found that you can't have the mower with the R4 tires which this tractor has? I would need to install the Mid PTO too which doesn't look like a tough job and it's not too pricey either. What should it be worth/ 28,500? Oh, and it has drive train and engine warranty until next April too.

Thanks, Rick

You could buy a tractor like that new for around $30,000. If you pay cash you can save another $1,500. I think Kubota "prefers" that you have turf tires with a mid mount mower. You could also get a rear finish mower which would be cheaper. Aslo if you get a new tractor they will install the mid PTO for free.

Here are a few L3540's for sale

When I bought my 4240 the dealer had to split the tractor to install a gear for the mid pto. I thought they said some of the cabbed models came with the gear installed, if so it's an easy upgrade. But you may want to check with a dealer to confirm. As I think the distance between the front and rear tires is why only some tire combinations can have the MMM.
