L3560 Limited Pricing

[TrulyRanch]

Anyone get any quotes yet from a dealer on a L3560 Limited? I received a quote for about $34,500 roughly. Sound about right?

I think you'll need to include a list of options before a good comparison can be made.

Welcome to TBN.

True. Includes:
805 FEL
72" QA Bucket
Rear Wiper and Defrost installed
High Cap. Alternator
Rim Guard Ballast (rear)
Block Heater
Chain Hooks & Loop Installed

I broke out the bale spear and GS 1572 72" Grading Scraper. With those included it came out to $36,775.

What is your altitude?

L3560 could be underpowered with a cab at 4,000'+. Power losss is 3% per 1,000', over 1,500'.

Rimguard + cab = 1,200 pounds. (Bare tractor = 3,700 pounds.)

L3560 has modest power. With the weight of the cab you will not need to load the tires for traction.

You will be limited to a medium duty five foot Rotary Cutter.

We are right around 3,000 ft.

I know soil varies a great deal in Montana.

If you have tough soil consider Kubota's SSQA Round-back, Heavy-duty bucket.

What tires have you ordered?

Being south of 30 PTO HP I would think a 5 foot cutter would be appropriate at any altitude.

I haven't ordered yet. Just got a quote. I'll have to check what tires they had selected on the quote. My soils are red clay soils or as we affectionately refer to as Great Falls Gumbo.... Pretty special stuff when wet. Sticks to everything and ruins foundations if not accounted for.

I'll eventually buy a mower but initially I intend to hire a couple of sheep and/or goats to eat the grass, then I'll eat them! Heck of a deal I'd say!
