I was real impressed with the L3240 we were working on…..super nice tractor! I could only imagine the 60 Series….and now the 70 Series!
Ford Superduties have had this for a while now. My RZR does that, most vehicles with the keyless ignitions do as well. It's pretty to do with all the sensors on a modern engine. Temp sensors all over to know how to cycle the grid heater (assuming they keep the grid heater rather than glow plugs). Cam or crank sensor to determine when the engine speeds up due to starting vs speed from the starter.
Yes I know that, just saying until now tractors never really had that brain power. The newer ones with ECU's were pretty basic.
I'd imagine any machine with a high pressure electronic injection or DPF/DEF system would have all the sensors & computing power required to pull it off. At that point it's just a matter of a $20 key fob & $20 with of radio to get the remote start.
My 2021 L3560 cab with top and tilt, larger loader option and backhoe was $78K. I'm almost paid off with 260 hours on it. All of the transmission features talks about, I have. The new lighting and updated AC and Heat Weld be the real selling point, mine struggles bad to cool when I'm out brush hogging on a 95 degree day. Essentially, I run the AC balls out and keeps me from dying in the closed up cab.... I sure wouldn't call it cool! Not like your car or truck. I love my Grand 60 series, but I do sort of wish for a bit more ass under the hood once in while when I'm running the 72" hog and I've ignored the pasture for far too long, and the growth is higher than the hood.
