Got my L3560 today!

[M7MetalWorks]

Hello guys and gals, My name is Christopher. I have been lurking on the forums for a few months gathering information on the new tractor I just bought. I had a new L3560 HST delivered today by Marvin, the driver for Barlow's Kubota out of Somerset Kentucky. You guys really saved me some money by going thru them. The best my local dealers could do was $3000 more than Barlow's. So here are the details:
L3560 HST open cab
Loaded R4 tires
LA805 loader
Landpride FDR1672 finish mower
Landpride 48'' Pallet forks

From the time I told Brady Barlow I was ready to buy until it was delived to my home several hours away was 30 days. I paid nothing before delivery and signed no paperwork until today. I took advantage of the 90 days payment free option. I also bought the KTAC insurance.

I pulled the loader off it and my oldest daughter mowed today with it and the cut was super nice. Anyway I want to say thanks to all the good people who put out the info on these boards. Really did help me.

Congrats.

One of my favorite things about my L3560HSTC is the HST+ transmission. You will love that feature. At first I had no idea that I would use it that much, but I use it all the time allowing the tractor to be even more flexible.

Did you get a QH for it? I know that is one of those items that I have grown to love.

That really looks sharp. Congratulations on the new machine.

Nice tractor. Hope you enjoy it for many years and your daughter also.

No I did not buy the QH but it is something I have been throwing around. I was at Rural King today and they had a QH made in India. I was surprised how well it was made. Very stout and it was only $99! I was shocked it was so cheap. Gonna measure my Landpride mower to see if it matches up.

Very nice looking tractor, you are going to like the transmission and related control options. If you haven't already, read-up on the hst settings.

If it is a newer Land Pride mower, they are QH compatible. I have the 1272 and it works like a charm.

Chris,

Welcome it's very exciting to get a new orange toy. Enjoy your time in the seat it's a great time of year for it, lots to be done. You will be thinking how did I manage without that machine before.

Best of luck

Thanks so much!I am excited to have a tractor again. I purchased an L3130 new back in 2005 and sold it when I moved to Tucson from Indiana in 2011. Then I bought an L3240 in 2014 and sold it when my daughter went to college. Now I am retired from my previous job and intend to keep this one for as long as it will run.

You will have to get you some pictures of you working your new tractor, because you know us tractor guys like our tractor porn.

Old Massey's never die it seems. I had one a while back as well with a Perkins diesel. Sold it for what I had in it. Nice unit but kind of crude by today's standards.
