I've had my 4520 for about a year now - only 80 hours and paired it with a Frontier FM3012 Finishing Mower (It's a Woods TBW 150C 12.5' Tri-Plex) Although the 4520 can do it (barely - I have to get out every 30 minutes or so to clear the radiator or it overheats), it just seems like too much...

I just got a Frontier FM3012 (Woods TBW150C) Tri-plex mower. So I take it out for it's first pass and only one-deck is cutting (the right) I remove the Belt Shields to make sure spindles are turning - everything is fine - However the Center deck and left wing (looking back) spindles are...

I'm about to purchase a JD 390 with 26" offset. This is the table of cutting heights: Setting/Position Cutting Height 1 13 mm (0.5") 2 51 mm (2.0") 3 89 mm (3.5") 4 127 mm (5.0") What Happens if you want the cutting height to be say 1-1.5"? Can you just adjust the top arm of the 3Pt...

I have about 5 acres I mow every week. Currently I have a JD1600 WAM to do most of it, it takes about 3 Hours. I'm tired of not being in a Cab, and want to consolidate two machines (JD5425 Tractor and the 1600 WAM) into a 4520 with a rear mower and eHydro to reduce maintenance costs and get...

What's the best 90" Grooming Mower and can it be made to work with IMatch? Woods 990? I'm looking for the best cut/most durable 90" finishing mower. I'm considering: Woods 990x Land Pride FDR3690 Frontier GM2190 (Made by Befco) It will be mounted on a JD4520 It's has to be iMatch...

I'm looking for a 11-13' Flex Mower. I prefer not to spend over $15,000. It won't be used Commercially, just to Mow about 10 Acres on my own property once per week. The Frontier FM3012 is around the $12,500 mark. What makes it so inexpensive? Is it really lacking in certain areas? Any...

Will Chains fit on an 3720 CAB with the larger R4's? What if I used Wheel Spacers? Same Question on a 4520 with R4's - No spacers needed. Thanks

I'm getting an 3720 Cab. I mow about 5-10 acres of fields/paths and around buildings and a a 2100x100' grass runway. I'm looking at the GM2109 110" Frontier mower. 30HP minimum required Way too big? Will it bog down in anything over an inch or two or will it be fine cutting 5-6"'s if it's...

I'm trading in an JD5425 tractor in for a smaller 3720 (I want something more manouverable as it will now cut the grass as well (I didn't use the 5425 for grass). I have a Lucknow S75PT (90") blower for the 5425, it has a minimum HP rating of 50 - not sure if that's engine or PTO. Is there any...

I have a 5425 with R1's and a 1600 WAM. To simplify a bit, I'm thinking of getting rid of the 1600 and getting a 8-9' Finish Mower for the 5425 (But change the R1's to Turf Tires), or trade the 5425 to a 4320 or 3720. If it's going to destroy everything as it's just too heavy, and I would't...

I know the answer is probably No - but I have to ask. Trading a 5425 Tractor with a 542 and 4 in 1, for a 4520 (Wan't my wife to be able to blow snow with it, and want it's lighter weight for cutting grass). Will the 542 be too heavy? Is it totally not compatible? Can I at least use the...

Very Roughly, what would an set of wheels and Turf tires for an 5425 be? We have Ag's on it now, but may want to use the 5425 to mow our runway and driving range, but don't want to destroy the grass. How much wider are the turf's? How hard/how long would it take to swap the wheels? Thanks

Hi, We just got our 5425 - Awesome tractor However we need an new Blower, We have an 72" Farm King, that isn't working very well(clearance between impeller and housing is too big and not round) Plus it seems and feels really small on the 5425 How big of an blower would work on the 5425...

In reading the John Deere specs, it seems to imply that the front mount blower does not have Hydraulic lift in the 3x20 series? Is this right? How do you lift it? Can you use only 2,000 rpm blowers for the front, or will the 74" 540 rpm Farm King we have work as well? Thanks

Hi my dealer has an Demo 3520 without an Cab, can you retrofit the Deere cab or how about aftermarket? Any idea of cost?
