Assembling order now and would like some detailing advice please.

20 acres of desert sculpting, no rocks, lots of wash sand to move, 100 plus auger holes, home construction mostly masonry, trenching and building pad creation, 1 acre dug about 4' deep and dirt distributed (roadway, building pads etc) with box blade.

Kubota 4WD Cab Limited Tractor / KUBOTA LA805 LOADER w 72" Bucket w bolt on cutting edge / BH77 Backhoe / CB1060 60" 4 in 1 bucket / 10" & 18" Backhoe buckets / 48" 3000lbs forks /

Hopefully first and last tractor. I will need it for road maintenance and land contouring (Berm & Swale). One road portion needs half mile of washed sand removed of 12", but once accomplished, maintenance less work.

Sales have created the packages for attachments etc but reviews have suggested things like rear lights, air cushion seat, rear wipers etc. and I need experienced owners to help make sure this is a once and done.

Thoughts please.

Wow, awesome package! Congratulations!

Have you considered if ever want a third function up front or rear remotes? How about filled tires?

Good luck. 👍

I think the L3560 comes standard with the SSQA system, but make sure you get it. If you're trying to get everything in a package, get the third function and, some will say, two rear remotes.

Auger - if I was looking at boring many post holes, I'd get a hydraulic front mounted auger. The Land Pride is pretty pricey, but there are others. Some, such as Eterra, have options for other functions, mixing sakcrete for example. You can also get large augers for planting trees. My personal experience with rear, pto-driven augers has not been good. YMMV

The L3560 is a great machine - big enough to do lots of jobs but not so big it can't get into tighter spaces. I would second the thoughts on 3rd function and rear remotes. Rear remotes would give you the ability to have hydraulic Top and Tilt which will make working the roads, swales and other things you mention much easier.
