New acerage need tractor

[DieselBound]

No, I do not.

I bought one of the earliest L3560 tractors. Kubota still had some specs from the L3540 lingering on its web site, including folded height of ROPS @ 84".

When my L3560 arrived I was surprised to find folded ROPS height at 87". So I had to take it to my exceptionally skilled local welder, who sectioned the ROPS by 4". (Weld is almost invisible.) Even so, it barely, barely fits in my humidity controlled garage.

So a canopy is out. And thus the straw hat. I am accustomed to the heat and humidity of working in Florida. In the summer I start early and quit by 12:30 PM. During that period I drink at least two liters of cold liquid, from insulated bike rider's plastic containers.

"Not fitting" is one of the few things that didn't bite me. I'd revamped an old pole shed, cutting out a tractor bay. My B7800 (with ROPs up) fits with maybe an inch to spare A canopy wouldn't fit: with how this tractor is used a canopy would get trashed anyway. It's easier for me to make adjustments because I don't have a concrete floor in this shed, only some drain rock- if I have clearance issues I just dig a bit out
