|  New JD 3520 : she's a beauty !
For various reasons, I had to wait for six months before the new tractor was delivered. It was well worth it. I feel bad for trading in my old Massey Ferguson 35 after 14 years, but I'd caught the green fever.  |

There should be an engine somewhere there, but they seem to have forgotten to put it in ! | |

Yep, that's a nice tractor but what is on the back, hedge clipper?

That is a great looking setup! I'm guessing the thing on the back is a hydraulic branch shear for pruning trees?

Phil, One beautiful machine! (I also have a 3520 and love it!) Now far be it from this Canuck to lecture on safety, (but been there, done that and seen some terrible accidents!)
Please, please Phil,....don't ever,.."EVER" trust hydraulics,..no matter how new or no matter how locked !!!!!! If you must work under a raised loader or any other hydraulic item,.....for heaven sake, put a prop under it!!! You may get away with it for years,...but then,..it only takes "once" to end it!
Sorry to be the one to sour a happy day,...but my intention was to ensure the happy days continue!
Such a pleasure to hear from France.
Bon jour,
. . Mike | |

Nice looking machine  but I would like to see some info on the cutter you have on the back. That would be a nice ditch mower and to mow around the ponds.

Ive never seen a 3520 with ag tires and a MMM. Nice set up. I wonder why JohnDeere makes the head lights square outside the US? Does anyone know why they do that?

I own a kubota myself (mx5000) but I must say there is something about those green machines...and the yellow rims. Of course the backdrop helps some, that picturesque european farm house and buidings.
Too bad you had to depart with the old MF it looks in top shape. | |

Beautiful! I love those Ag tires. I sure wish my 3320 had them. | |
