New Member First Tractor, Grand L3560

[NWAZL3560]

My Grand L3560 was delivered a little over a week ago! It was a 3 month wait!

First tractor I've had or driven - nice to have one to putter around with, being retired! We bought a 10 acre investment and "just for family and friends fun" desert property near our home a few months ago. So far we've used the tractor to dig bamboo roots out from a big bamboo stand we've cut down repeatedly. There will be some trenching for water lines, sewer pipes and electrical; trash removal and box blade grading.

The Grand L3560 is awesome! I chose the size based on my neighbor having an earlier version of the same tractor that he said is perfect for our property. My dealer is a small dealer that hadn't had a new Grand L in before, they were impressed!

The wife loves to drive it too!

Congrats!

Yes, having something the wife can operate is a huge bonus.

We like pictures! Show us what you have been doing with it...

Digging out bamboo roots. The bamboo had seriously encumbered the three pomegranate trees in the photo.

And scooping up bamboo root piles with the rock bucket.

The wife loves getting it out of the garage and driving it to and from the work area! Yours truly on delivery day!

This is the bamboo stand when we bought the property. Cut it down and then cut it back over and over again until the tractor came!

Welcome to the OTT forum. Congrats on the new toy... I mean tractor.

I see that you didn't give up you Bota hat for the wife.
My dealer gave me 2 hats so that the wife could have one but she never wears it, so much better for me.

Actually the Dealer gave us 2 hats, but the wife wanted the pink one we found at the Kubota online store, which she is wearing!

The key factors compared to the Standard L were the heavier tractor weight which matched my neighbor's earlier version, the improved seat, the loader control mounted on the fender and the low height fuel filler.

Good for her. Sorry that I couldn't make that out.

I want to thank everyone on this great forum. I checked it thoroughly in the month I spent deciding which tractor to get, then regularly during the 3 month wait after I ordered mine. I was happy to find some posts on the L3560 since I ordered mine without seeing one, and just learning about the new tractors. I'd only seen a few pictures of the L3560 and knew from the specs it was between the L3901 and L4701 that I saw at the Dealer in physical size.

So I understood a lot about my tractor before I got it, thanks to this forum!

Welcome! It's a great tractor, I went thru 4 different Kubota's, each time getting a little larger. Finally got my L3560HSTC! I've had it for 4 yrs now and it is great, I love having the cab in the winter to keep the snow and cold (which you won't have to worry about) off of me, and in the summer humid weather with the bugs, I just turn on the AC! Enjoy the tractor and good luck with it.
