The Time has Come. New L3560 Ordered

kubotacres · Mar 16, 2016

After much "in depth" research, test driving, used tractor searching and lots of question asking I pulled the trigger today. I think I will be well pleased and hopefully it will surpass my needs. I had been used to a Grand L before I bought my own tractor which was a L3200. It was a great tractor but I missed the grand L features so much I wasn't happy from the start. Either way here's what I ordered which should be here in 2-3 weeks.

Grand L3560 4x4
Open Station,
HST,
LA805 Loader,
72" QA SB Bucket,
R4 industrial tires.

Also had them "throw" in a QA Landpride Bale Spear. Upon delivery I will be loading the rear tires and adding the Weld-on bucket hooks.

It's gonna be a long 3 weeks.

Congrats, is your finger sore?

Any remotes or are they standard? What does something like that cost? March is gonna be a long month for you.

I always over research things, especially when it involves large $$. But in the end, it insures I get what I wanted and very few surprises.

I didn't add any remotes. None of my implements have use for them, but I guess I can always upgrade if the need arises.

As always, we look forward to (lots of) photos! Nice tractor- wish I had one. Congratulations.

Way to go -- that would be the one I'd also upgrade to if I ever sell my L3200.

So what about the transmission -- I thought you were set on GST??

You will be wondering what drink container will fit in those Japanese size cup holders: Only a quart size of Gatorade, nothing else. I sleeved mine to reduce diameter with 3" diameter Schedule 40 white PVC pipe. I used insulated Polar drink containers in the sleeves. Most US beverage containers are 2-3/4" diameter.

If you decide to have a horn installed, purchase a Italian Stebel motorcycle horn from Amazon.

Drove one with the HST plus and loved it. I was worried about the power rob from the HST but I think it will be fine.

I will definitely do the cup holder mod since I need a cold refreshment during the warm months. I added a horn on my l3200 and bought an extra for a spare. I will be adding the spare on the l3560. I tend to use it alot to grab the kids attention
