Well, I finally took delivery on my L3560 LE. Had to wait a month or so for the R4 wheels and rear remotes to arrive at the dealer, but I am very happy now that it is here! As a tractor greenhorn, I really appreciate all the advice and experienced you all have been sharing here on the forum. I'm looking forward to many years of rewarding tractor time!

Well, that view sucks.

Check the rear tire pressure, bet it’s near max, looks that way anyways. It will ride and grip much better about 8-15, you’ll have to play around with it some. Check the front axle oil, probably need to add a Qt or 3.

Thank you! I filled the rear tires with water (south Texas), and inflated to 20lbs per the manual. You are not the first person to recommend a lower pressure.....I will definitely do that. Thanks!

I have been very blessed with a wonderful property with great views, three sweet dogs, an amazing family (not pictured), and now a new tractor. Thanks.

What do you lose on an open-station L3560 LE over the non LE edition? I know on the cab versions you lose the front work lights, maybe a 12v outlet, the mirrors, maybe the cruise control? Seems like on the open station you would only lose the cruise? I'd strongly recommend you making the dealer retrofit the cruise control...it is awesome on the Grand L 60 series that you have. Very nice machine, congrats.

Thank you. I think the LE is just missing the cruise control, the 12 volt adapter, and I think the 3-point sway bars -- they are threaded instead of having pins. I really like this tractor so far!

That is an Armstrong Ag BRG-mini. It is a local Texas manufacturer that many of the local dealers carry. No waiting, and it seems very heavy duty -- 60' wide and weighs 440 lbs. With the LA805 loader on my L3560, I opted for a slightly heavier grapple.

LOVE that DOG!

(I love how a good Dog always wants to be with you.)

When I saw the hills in your earlier pic I immediately recognized we are Hill Country neighbors!

Congrats on it ALL.!

Also the PTO switch which allows use of chipper, etc. I have added the switch and the cruise control, parts purchased from Messicks. Easy retrofit. I also found the sway bars on Amazon and added them.
