First Time Tractor Buyer, Update: Deal Now Done. Thanks

[airbiscuit]

My top choices would be
3rd function
Grapple
Rear Remote(s)
Rough Cut Rotary Mower
Disc or Tiller
Rear Blade

A Rear PULL Snowblower is a cheaper alternative to a front mount snowblower

Nobody has mentioned it yet, so I'll add this. Before you have your tractor delivered or even better when you sign for it: Have a new empty thumb drive with you so the dealer can provide a digital copy of all the manuals and especially the WSM (Shop Service Manual) for your new tractor. The WSM will be invaluable to you later when you need to trouble shoot a problem or just want to do maintenance, check wiring, add something, etc., etc.

Oh, I like that. I'm going to have to ask about that one.

Alright. Deal is done. Thanks for all the input. It's an L3560HSTC-LE, with the LA805 and a HD round back bucket.

I added:
3rd Function Valve
2 Rear Remotes
Top & Tilt Kit
Mid PTO Kit
Rim Guard
Rear Wiper Kit
Front Work Light Kit
Rear Work Light Kit

For the implements, I'm starting with a BB1260 box blade and a RTA1266 tiller.

I also ordered the Pat's Easy Hitch, and a Cruise Control switch.

I think that's it for now. I'll add a grapple soon enough. But I'll be pretty happy for what I have, once they get this all together and I can take delivery.

Side note: We already have a pull behind rough cut mower (Swisher) that I pull with an ATV. So I doubt I'll be getting a mower any time soon.

Anyway, that's where it stands.

Thanks all!

Very nice. I'm sure you will enjoy it and you spent the money on the right things up front.

Well, the deal may have been done four plus weeks ago, but - still no tractor. It's sitting on their lot, waiting for various kits to arrive so they can be installed. I can see it, touch it, give it a warm hug - but they can't install parts they don't have.

Apparently, several of my added options are in short supply. More COVID disruption I guess. Jeepers.

How close is the dealer to you? I would ask to take it, then once parts come in, bring back to be installed. Be sure to wash it real good for the tech doing the work.
