Ordered a 3120!
After a few months of research with a lot of help on here I placed an order yesterday for a 3120 that will be here in a few weeks. For attachments I went with a 72" 7-iron MMM, 300CX loader and 366 frame mounted front blade for snow removal. Was going to go for a boom mounted Frontier blade but changed my mind on the last day. Was concerned about putting all that stress on the loader and thought best put it on the frame of the tractor should I ever hit something hard and frozen. Sounds like this blade will be much better for dirt work as well. Will look for a box blade later, appears to be much cheaper to find one other than John Deere's Frontier models. I'm told this is only the beginning and will likely spend much more on attachments in the future! Looking forward to a new green machine on my 80 acres!
My advice to anyone buying would be to get a quote from three different dealers. I was amazed at the price difference! As much as $3,000 cdn.

Re: Ordered a 3120!
Great
 I think you will be much happier with the frame mounted blade vs. the loader mounted one.

Re: Ordered a 3120!
Thanks Kenny and JD. I hope I made the right choices for my yard work. Eventually a gang mower may be needed for my runway. And a rear blade, and a receiver hitch for my trailer, and a, and a.

Re: Ordered a 3120!
Congratulations on your purchase decision. Hope your "few weeks" doesn't turn into three months like mine - but the wait was well worth it.

BillyVan; i agree with KennyD, from personal experience and my gouged asphalt driveway! I did not have any issues with the frame mounted blade on my 4100! I am looking to fix that issue soon!
