XR3135HC ordered

Looks like LS added a lever to move the 3pt from outside.

Very nice.
Congrats again.

Very nice. Mine doesn't have the handle in the back for the 3pt. That's another extra feature you don't usually see on tractor this size.

I like the idea of the loader mounted blower. I've seen pictures of another brand that had the tank mounted on the blower so you could still use the 3pt for a rear blade. I priced the factory 63" front mount blower when I bought the tractor and it was something like $6k with the mid pto kit.

I had a front mount blower on the last tractor but it was a pain swapping from that to the loader whenever I needed firewood.

How easy is this setup to remove? I wonder if they ever put couplers for all the hoses up front?

I think the 3pt handle is a recent change.
The dealer converted the blower from a 3pt mount. I guess it would be possible to put the tank where you want it. The conversion was $4000 on top of the blower price.
In regards to couplers, not at the moment. I guess I should have been more specific on that. I just assumed there would be. I did mention it and they said they have looked into doing it but they would need to use high flow couplers to maintain the proper flow. I will be looking into getting some. Shouldn't be a big issue. I definitely want to be able to easily change blower to bucket.
My last tractor had the mid PTO to a front mount. I really wanted to stay away from that if I could. They are expensive and I found to be a pain to change over.

JL,
Does yours have the parking brake warning horn? Not sure if they are on the 3037 or yours. I know others with other brands have complained about not having one.

My 3037 parking brake has a dash light. It beeps if I get off the seat or I shut it off without applying it. Also beeps if I try moving the tractor with it on. Its a constant reminder to either apply or release the brake.

Awesome! Congrats on the new tractor.

I really like that outside 3PH control. May have to look into that.

Regarding the parking brake warning, our 3135 is like George's 3037; dash light and beeps.

It looks like in order to remove it you would have to undo the hydraulic connections to take it off. The lines go over you axle. With quick disconnections is the way to go.

This will be the first change.
