Tested a 110 TLB, Wow!

[Iceman]

I finally found a dealer who had a 110 TLB on his lot to test. So I took a drive over there and what a machine! You can tell immediately that this was a well thought out and user friendly design comparable to the larger TLBs. It is way better than the L48 I checked out earlier in the day. I loved the ergo-bucket control stick. Fit your hand perfectly and the rocker switch for the 4-in-1 could not be better. The bucket and hoe cycle speeds are fast, that will take a little finesse to smooth out their operation. The creeper to reposition during backhoe work was a nice touch, along with the dash being mounted on the side. One sweet machine!

I also found out that Laurin, Inc. has almost finished development of a fully enclosed cab for this tractor that will even allow you to operate the hoe from within. They will have more details and photos available in a few weeks once the prototype is completed. This link, <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.laurin-inc.com/en/index_en.htm>Click Here</A> is their general site which does not contain any information about it yet. You will have to contact them directly to learn more. If I hear anything else, I will pass it along.

I knew it was just a matter of time till someone made a cab.I think Laurin makes cabs for Kubota,so if you buy a Kubota cab its a Laurin,and they are pretty nice too.Who did you get that info from?I think the 110 would be a great snow machine,especially with a nice cab to keep you toasty warm.Glad you liked the 110 ,I love mine,and am happy to have bought it!

Contacted them directly to see if they had one under development because the one they had for the 45-47XX series was real nice. They will e-mail me more info as it becomes available and I will pass it along.

Re: Loflin cab...

I spoke to Loflin today...they said the cab will be available in October,it will have all the features of their other cabs,you can use it in conjunction with the hoe but you will be able to remove the hoe and use a snowblower and still utilize the cab,and the killer.....the price.....around $5500-$6000,add $2000 for AC,a bit pricey but if you really need a cab it sounds like it would fill the bill nicely.I also called Curtis and they said that nothing would be available till next spring.

My dealer has one on his lot. It is an impressive machine and it makes me sick that I spent about the same money for a 4700 and 48 BH just 6 months ago. I wish I could start over again 'cause that 110 would be on my land today. Even with the start up problems common to new models I would take one in an instant if I did not already have a new tractor. I too looked at the L48 and passed on it but the 110 is another story.

Hello all:
I am now seeing them on dealer lots. After all the excitement back in the spring, this is really cool. There is one in Fayetteville, GA and one in Statesboro, GA. I just saw them yesterday. Didn't get any prices this time, but the dealer in Statesboro (Blanchard Equipment) had speced me out one back in the spring/early summer for quite a bit LESS than I am seeing reported here. I dealt with the manager, (might be owner) Grady. Worth a try? If you call, please tell him I referred you. Maybe he will help me out when I get ready to buy mine with a 4n-1!!!

Yeah, that would be sweet.
