I totally agree.
How do I hook this attached to my JD3320 ?

Keep in mind that the clearance space between the tongue supports on the roller may be less than the depth of the tractor drawbar, and therefore the roller tongue will not fit on the drawbar without modification. I also think the roller shown was probably designed for a garden tractor.

I have a JD 3320 and it came with a drawbar as shown in the previous photo. If I were you I'd head to the dealer who sold you the tractor and demand they provide you with a drawbar from a standpoint of safety. In my mind it should not have been sold without one since pulling from somewhere other than the drawbar is a common way of flipping a tractor (front over rear).
My manual specifically describes the drawbar and shows a picture of it ...
Here is the on-line manual: OMLVU17926_J7
Look in the section called "Operating - Machine"
Note that there may be different on-line manuals for different serial number JD 3320s.
By the way, before you buy the roller you might want to install the drawbar and measure the distance from it to the wheels so you have a sense of whether the wheels might rub the roller during turns. Some pulled products are built more for small lawn tractors rather than something larger like the JD 3320.

Happy ending....
I bought the CAT1 drawbar from TS. I rented the lawn roller from a local rental shop for $20 a day. If you don't count looking like a complete idiot when attempting to backup everything went well. The rear lawn is planted, the dirt is flat and smooth. With the weather we have been having in Florida the Bahia may come up this month rather than summer. It must be that darn global warming, or climate change or just warm weather take your political pick......
Thanks everyone for your collective advise.... The lawn is in, no one died and it didn't cost me a fortune.
