Tractor search

[George2615]

I went to the LS dealership today and operated the LS XR3135HC today and walked away very impressed with this tractor,the operation was great and I thought the layout of all the functions were in good positions.The cab had AC and heat but no radio the dealership said if I went and bought a radio they would install it for free, is that what everyone else is seeing and he said the speakers are not very good so should this be dealt with at the same time? (I really do not care about the radio at this time but I think anything I can get the dealer to do now is the time).I still am going to try the Kioti CK3510HSt,Massey Ferguson 1736 and the used Kubota L4610 next weekend.

Factory speakers are already there. I bought and installed my own radio. Cost $79. at auto parts store and about an hour to install. Remove 4 nuts and the top tilts up for access to wiring. Tracing out the wiring in the factory harness for spkrs., constant power, keyed power, ground, etc. is what takes the most time but fairly easy with a test light and meter. I posted a thread on the wiring color codes and what each one does. Mine is the XR3037HC but I'm sure the 3135 wiring is probably the same. I did not change the spkrs. They sound good enough for me in a tractor. Antenna sucks though. Kinda short and unless station is really strong they fade out. Most of the time I don't even use it.

Rear wiper, Beacon lights, and rear work light are options. Some come with them, some don't. Depends on how the dealer ordered it.

audsp98 I was just on there website looking at the promotions and saw that, have you priced them as of yet w/cab?

I was quoted $31500 for the NX5010 with loader and backhoe. I'd guess that the backhoe is a little more than the cab from what I've seen else where. So I'd guess sub $30k for loader with a cab.

I picked up a radio at Walmart and my dealer installed it no charge. Speakers are okay but like you were told I will probably replace them at some point.
Unknown to me the radio had an external mic to use for your phone which they installed too. Now I have hands free for my phone, my wife can call anytime. Not sure if this was good or not.

Yeah, my radio has Bluetooth also. AM/FM/CD, Bluetooth.

I didn't get the radio, and haven't installed one either (odd for a musician, huh?). I just don't spend enough time in it to justify one.

So tomorrow is the day I go to check out the Kioti ck 3510hst cab tractor and inquire about there promotion on the larger tractor for same cost.Same dealership has the Massey 1736 cab tractor.Then the other dealership has the 2002 Kubota L4610 (this is what I am the most interested in)and while I am there I would look at the L3901 (I believe this is the closest to the Kioti and Massey models).I am hopping they will deal on the used tractor.

L3901 is very nice machine, but but does not have the capacity of the heavier tractors. Stick to the L4610 or other machines, unless you want a light tractor.

Good luck! The Kubota L series will not be the direct comparison to the Kioti or MF 1700 series. You'll get more "premium" features on those tractors while the L3901 is an economy model. They're all good tractors that will "get the work done" but it's still something to consider when spending that much money.

I went and checked out the Kioti CK3510HST cab tractor and the Massey 1736 cab and I was original told by the salesperson they where close in price but when I went to check them out they were not close at all.The Massey was certainly a nice machine I believe a little larger than the Kioti. I am still looking around I missed out on the Kubota L4610 sold it two days before I went to the dealer.

I don't think those 2 model tractors are comparable. The MF 1736 is a "premium" tractor so I'm not surprised the MF is costs more.

I'm going Saturday to test drive the Mahindra 3550 my local dealer ordered for me.
