XR 3135 HC

[MikeF]

Okay, so I had the number wrong on my other post for feedback from LS owners. I am looking at the XR 3135 HC and would like to hear from others that have experience with these machines. I have looked at and drove the Boomer 37 cab machine with loader and it is very nice, however quite a bit more $$ for a NH sticker and a loader that lifts higher but not as much weight. the only LS cab the dealer had was the 4000 series and that is to big for what i will be doing with the machine but it was very nice and looked exactly the same as the NH tractors.

The price I was given was as follows and I think it is very good for this set-up.

XR 3135 HC, Loader w/66" bucket, rear wiper kit, radio, R4 tires $26k



Thanks

Mike

I have the open station 3135h and love it. Regeneration happens more than advertised, but no other complaints. Only 35 hrs though.

I too was looking at a larger 4000/4100 series but decided to "right size" my purchase. I figured in the few cases I need a larger machine I can rent. Anticipate this to be very seldom. Machine is a workhorse and the extra features are nice and very useful. Perfect for my propriety size. Have box blade and tomahawk grapple which I use frequently. Engine is smooth and powerful for the tractor.

So far very happy it! Hope this helps.

I've had mine since last August. Been very happy with it. Biggest complaint I think is just a rattle noise from one of the hydro pedals against the cruise control magnet. Price sounds good. Right around what I paid. They loaded the rear tires too. I intend to add the rear wiper.

Thanks for the replies, the dealer is loading tires as well I forgot about that. the only other option I was considering but the dealer says I can add at any time for around $500 is the Mid PTO, I would only need to do this if I ever wanted to add a front mount snow blower which I doubt I will ever do. I guess my biggest concern is will the company be around for the long haul, I know they have been around under different names for quite some time and the fact that CNH has chose LS to build machines for them I believe to be a big plus.

I have been shopping for one as well and best price quote I have gotten is 25K without the radio and rear wiper included in your quote. I think loading the tires was another $200 or $250.

I purchased my XR 3135C back in March and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I just couldn't decide on the Hydro, so I went with the Shuttle. I paid $24,934.63 out the door. Hydro was approx. $1,000 more. I have all the features you were looking at purchasing except the rear wiper, so the price sounds fair or at least to what I paid.

Also, I would highly recommend getting the tires loaded.

Well I wound up bumping up to a XR4046HC, all the options the same as I was going to get with the 3135. I drove them both and the 4046 had a better ride due to the larger tire size, that plus a bit more loader capacity and 3. lift made me feel it was a better fit for me. The dealer made me a good deal and I should pick up the machine by Friday. Not to worried about the regen as my Case SV250 is about the same and is not an issue.

Thanks for the feedback during my search

Congrats, that is a good looking tractor. The bigger tires really make a difference in the look. Post some picks when you get it home.
