Sales tax yes, but the same dealer in NH as in Maine…the selling price is the big deal and then how much labor they can pile on…I am happy buying from the Ohio dealer…

Yes on sales tax. when i bought my 3560 I saved $4,000 over Maine…I asked for a quote in Maine they never sent it, but based on the tractor I’m going to assume at least $5-7k…Ohio discounted from MSRP, Maine did not. also bought a dump trailer to haul it in…also got a better deal in Ohio...

Me too! Gladys is running around again!😎. I rented a small excavator this past week to dig about 250’ of trenches for light poles at the house. We have 24 acres of wood except where the house sits. I had a guy the will make paths the past two weekends working on the paths. He had a 50 hp...

Yup…one of my jumpers fell out…thats it. Gladys who dresses in all orange, is alive and well! Thanks for the comments guys….

the sales guy had the service mgr call me…he thinks its the seat switch…which it probably is because I jumped it out….I am at my truck dealer now getting the oil changed…will check when I get home later…makes sense as I was traveling down my driveway bouncing around…. will come back here to report.

No and no. ….thank you…keep thinking gang…

last night i grabbed a package to bring up to the house. About 2/3 of the way then tractor looses speed and stops. The engine throttle works great, can idle and rev up to full power, no problems. But when I step on the advance pedal the tractor bogs down to the points it wants to stall...

Well, one for two. The smaller of the two is a real bugger. It’s going to have to wait. What does the dealer use to get them off? Anyone know?

Thank you for your comments. You have a great tractor for sure. This is my first and I love it. Has the cab and that is great. The oil changed was very easy to do. I have watched some YouTube videos so I know these filters can be a bear to get off, but I have the correct tools to tackle it...

Perfect thank you! I will report back later…

Good one!

You must not the answer as you haven’t even said how you do it.

I am at 52 hours, got the oil changed no problem. Probably 3.5 months away from getting into house, however I need the tractor with grapple to move a number of logs to either get them out of the way or cut them for firewood. In the photo is a fraction of the logs.

It’s difficult for me to get down on the ground and then get up. UGH! So before I have to get up and down several times (I have had both knees replaced), what is the best way to get under the tractor, L3560, to change the hydraulic filters out? Go under from the rear, go under right in front...

on a Kubota 3560 what engine RPM equates to 540 PTO RPM?
