John Deere 3320 Reviews
Overall performance
Model Year: 2010
I've owned this tractor since day one....no one has driven this unit except myself. It has been dependable except when I first got it. The shifter would go from the B position to neutral by itself. They rebuilt the transmission and in 8 hrs. on the tractor it started again. They offer to rebuild it again and I refused. They instead replaced the entire unit from the engine to the rear wheels. I found John Deere to be very good on their product backing. The other problem that I have with the tractor is the narrowness of the machine. It is VERY tippy. That is why I don't let anybody else drive it. Since the first incident with the transmission, I haven't had any problem. Would I buy another John Deere again? I would definitely. John Deere is a very good company for warranty work and I do appreciate their service.
Pros: Very good unit with many attachments.
Cons: VERY tippy.

JD 3320
Model Year: 2011
This tractor replaces a New Holland subcompact tractor that I wore out and so far it has done everything that I have asked it to do. The dealer gave me a trade-in price that made it impossible to refuse, so now I am a JD owner. I am finding that JD parts are on the expensive side, but the quality in the product seems good.
Pros: Does what I need it to do without struggling.
Cons: Price of admission is high.

John Deere 3320 eHydro
Model Year: 2008
Got unit new; been very dependable. Only had one problem with trans slowing to a almost a stop when unit got hot after 2 hrs of mowing at about 65 hrs intermidently. It was under warranty. John Deere could not find problem. It stop doing it till warranty was up and than started do it again. John Deere said so sorry warranty up. I change trans fluid and filters at 120 hrs. The small filter which is cleanable had some junk in it; it has worked perfectly since. When I get tired of fixing cars, maybe I work fixing John Deeres.
Pros: Very easy to work controls.
Cons: John Deere techs need better training.

We have 200 acres of recreational property which we maintain with this tractor. We got it with estate tires rather than ag tires (big mistake). We can plow under perfect conditions with a two bottom plow but truly its too small for what we need. The tractor's primary weakness is the narrow wheel base, it tips very easily.
Pros: Very reliable.
Cons: Narrow wheel base and insufficient space for chains.

Unable to Provide Ratings
Model Year: 2012
Unable to provide ratings. Have not put it to use yet.. We had a 2007 3320 open station that was traded in on this one. It was wonderful. Rating it would be 5 stars in every category.
Pros: The 07 3320 on a scale of 1-10 she was a solid 15.
Cons: Turf tires worked poorly in snow. My fault, I asked for them.

3320 with Cab 300x Loader, 59" Snowblower, 72" Mid Deck, LX5, 72 Rear Blade, 60" Tiller
Model Year: 2005
I purchased the tractor with 230hrs and have only had one issue with it. The front axle output shaft seal was poorly designed by Dana and has since been redesigned. I did the repair and have been very happy with the results. I also added the mid PTO, and rear 3rd aux hydraulics, rear wiper and replaced the door hinges since the previous owner must have over extended the door. The blower has been an excellent addition living up north. Something to be said about mowing the yard at night with light and A/C.
Pros: Great for small hobby farm and acreage maintenance.
Cons: Little top heavy really needs the additional wheel weights for off level capability.

Love Is a 3320
Model Year: 2007
We purchased this tractor new with 300CX loader. We love it so much we ordered another 3320 but this new one is a cab unit. It's pretty much my wife's tractor. My tractor is a 89 Case IH 585 MFD w/ loader. Oh, how I love it so. Trying to decide is I should buy a backhoe or a used TLB. I've seen ads for TLBs at or close to the same price as a backhoe.
Pros: Everything.
Cons: Nothing.

John Deere 3320 Review After Owning 4 Years
Model Year: 2008
I bought the John Deere 32.5 hp tractor to replace a N.H. TC25D I had. I originally wanted another larger N.H., but all the local shops wanted suggested retail on their tractors. The JD dealers were being real competitive on their pricing and I got one from local Parrot implement in Richwood, Oh. Real knowlegeable staff that answered all my questions. The 3320 has plenty of power for all my needs: grading driveways, mowing, tilling, FEL work, and lifting pallets. No problems at all with the tractor.
Pros: Very user friendly platform.
Cons: Flimsy plastic hood and grill.

Only used for 3 hrs
Model Year: 2006
I have only used the Tractor for 3 hrs. Too early to say much about it. So far so good. Fuel gauge is still on full after 3 hrs. I'm wondering how accurate it is but it is a weird tank so maybe it will work out okay.
Pros: Too early.
Cons: Too early.

Model Year: 2008
I have a small horse farm, my tractor does a good job with all of my chores including snow removal. One complaint would be the tractor has a narrow wheel base and when dragging my fields it I hit even small bumps in the field the tractor does a lot of rocking left to right, don't think it will turn over but it does move more then i am comfortable with.
Pros: Good buy for money, does a good job, easy to operate.
Cons: Narrow wheel base, does a lot of rocking through bumps.

Would Do It Again
Model Year: 2011
I have been amazed how this tractor has performed. Bought the quick park FEL with the tractor. Never refuses to do what I ask. I have spread gravel, hauled wood, brush hogged, installed fence posts, and dug a road to my creek in prep of creating a pond. Excellent fuel economy and plenty of power for our acreage.
Pros: Economical & adequate power.
Cons: Need the ballast box for below level digging with FEL.

My OS 3320 e-hdy 300cx and 447 BH
Model Year: 2007
I did a job with 447 running 1,100 +- rpm and was getting 5 hr +- per gallon of fuel digging for 100 hr. That was great. 300cx works great, wished it would lift a little more. I do need at T&T, hopefully this year. The standard bucket is getting some dents etc., wished it had heavy duty when I got it. Was hoping to get wheel spacers to help on my hills, but they just keep going up in cost (now $350 for 4 2" on ebay).
Pros: Good on fuel.
Cons: My 447 is letting me down some (leaks, paint).

John Deere 3320 Review
Model Year: 2009
I purchased this tractor new and now have 65 hours on it. I also purchased the following equipment with it: Front end loader, bucket, loader mounted snow plow, pallet forks, box blade, six foot belly mounted mower, and rear ballast box. I have a 200 foot driveway and after using the snow blade for two years, I found that I preferred to remove snow with the loader bucket. The box blade works like a charm but requires some trial and error to learn it. The mower cut my mowing time by about two-thirds. I love it.
Pros: This tractor never runs out of power and does everything better than I ever expected.
Cons: So far, I've had to have the tilt-steering wheel replaced because it wouldn't stay locked in and the turn-signal switch has been replaced - all under warrenty.

Great over all it's been a work horse not a lawn figure I bought the 485 hoe which has worked but wished I got a small excavator instead of the hoe at $8,000+ I think the best money well spent was the $500 for the Femco encloser and the roof top this keeps me warm while plowing snow with the all angle plow. Two furrow trip plow pulls well 8' double harrows work well. Currently I have issues of lack in power.
Pros: Reliable.
Cons: High cost.

3320 Power Reverser transmission, 300cx loader, MX 5 mower, Howard 72" tiller, 5.5 foot tandem offset disk with railroad track weights, Dearborn 2 bottom 16 inch moldboards, 10 foot wide pull scraper, log splitter. This tractor has been absolutely awesome! Has successfully pulled and worked all the above equipment without fail, and has always exceeded my expectations. I have clay soil here and have had the plow buried all the way to the frame. I had dirt rolling over the top of the 10 foot scraper, and yes she was crawling but handled that way above my expectations. I added on the power beyond kit also. Getting ready to perform the 400 hour service. I really enjoy the time I spend working with this tractor. I also do some small odd tractor jobs with this set up. I have had only one problem with the steering ram when it was new. John Deere came out to the job site I was on and diagnosed and repaired it on the spot for free. Other then that I have had zero issues with this solid little unit. What a workhorse!!
Pros: Power Reverser, solid strong tractor, John Deere GREEN!
Cons: Only one, the fuel tank filler right above the instrument panel.

I'm amazed at what this tractor can do. It has never run out of power and does all that I ask of it. It's used mostly for lawn mowing (one acre) and snow removal (loader and bucket). I also use it for box blading and pallet handling. The tilt-steering wheel won't stay in the upper position if you pull on it while getting on or off the tractor. It just skips the cogs and pulls down almost to the lowest position. I almost fell because of this the first time. Dealer doesn't want to fix it.
Pros: Plenty of power and "gits 'er done".
Cons: Tilt-steering wheel problem.
