I am considering moving from my B3000 into the L3560HSTC. I can certainly make do with the (now) LX sized machines, but when i looked at them compared to my B3000, i couldn't help but feel like aspects of them were less sturdy. The Grand L60 is likely more machine than i need, and might be a little large, but for the difference in cost and what you get its difficult to not spring for it.
Some specific questions for the more experienced operators out there!
BLOWER: I current have a 64" 3pt snowblower, and about a 1000 ft drive. Works great on the B3000. The wheelbase on the Grand L is listed at 71", if i use my blower, am i going to be frustrated by it not being wider than the tractor wheelbase? Anyone else out there with an L3560 that have a 64, 72 or 84 blower on the rear with any experience to share?
REAR FINISH MOWER: My yard doesn't have a ton of trees to mow around, mostly around the perimeter, and a fence. I am wondering about switching from the mid mount mower to the 3 point finish mower - and how much i might regret that. I do brush hog, so something back there isn't new but thats typically in a larger field. I know some guys will run a zero turn or something like that - but i just didn't want to have another piece of equipment to maintain. Also wondering about visibility of looking down from the cab at the rear mower.
TIRES and MOWING: Last topic, all of the Grand L are coming with the R4 tires, which i have on the B3000. I don't think they're loaded but honestly not sure on that. Most dealers recommend loading them, and just curious if the extra weight of the machine and the tires being loaded will tear up my lawn. I don't have too many issues now with the R4 on B3000.
Thanks for any thoughts shared.
