    the implements are all landpride brand that’s the thing is I follow this advice which is what I initially had decided to do by getting the L3901 it’s only 2 more thousand to step up to the grand L3560. As one member said earlier just get the M8 😂

    Honestly, I can trailer the round bale where I need it and roll it off by hand or with the bucket. This isn't something I will be doing often. My neighbor - age 70 and a first time tractor operator has the 3301, he wants bigger like the MX only because he doesn't use a ballast on his 3301...
