Thinking of ordering a pair of Cat 2 Pats Quick hitch system. Can I use a set of cat 2 bushings on my implement? Are the Pats sized to accept them? Just bought a used Hardee ditchcutter for my JD 4010. I've been told there is alot of pull on the outside arm on the cutting side and the...

Has anybody used Pats quick hitch on a JD 4010 or similar tractor? I just bought a Hardee ditchbank cutter and its not set up to accept a standard quick hitch. Its awfully tight in there to hook the arms up and any kind of quick hitch would make life alot less frustrating. Its a Cat 2 hook...

I'm looking at a used 1993 Bush Hog SM 60 Ditch Bank cutter at my local JD dealer. Just wondering if anyone had any experience with this piece of equipment. I'd be running it behind a JD 4010 diesel. Thanks

I'm looking at a used Bush Hog ditch bank cutter at my local JD dealer and was wondering if anyone has any experience with these cutters. Its a 5 ft cut. Don't know the model number but its a middle to late 90's model. I looked on the Bush Hog website and its similar to the SM60. The guy...

Just wondering if anyone is getting the full 8" tilling depth that KK advertises? I've been happy with my KK 60" working up food plots for the past two years but I don't think its going 8". I run it at a slight forward angle and have the skids all the way up. Soil type isn't a problem. Maybe...

We just got our ditches on the farm mowed after about five years of woody growth. I'd like to keep them looking this good year round and the only thing I can think of besides hiring to have them mowed would be spraying them myself when the new growth starts. The fields surrounding the ditches...

I was wondering if anyone has purchased a Frontier 2072RC in the last two years and have you had any problems with it. I read a thread from 2010 here on TBN where there was a problem with the 3pt hitch twisting on the cutter. Some people thought it might have been a bad batch of steel that was...

Picked up a Kobalt dolly for my JD Ballast Box at Lowes today for about $32.00. Its rated for 1000 lbs. I'm not sure what the weight of my box is filled with small stone but the dolly should take care of it.

I just wanted to give a thumbs up :thumbsup:to Atlantic Tractor, my local JD dealership, for the recall service job they did on my JD 3520 yesterday. They called me when the recall first came out and left it up to me when I wanted it done. They offered to come out to my location to do the work...

My tractor is out of warranty on my JD 3520 so I'm going to start changing the oil and filter myself. What type of engine oil do you guys recommend? How much oil does the engine hold? The manual says John Deere Plus-50, is that a 15-W40 type? I tried a search but couldn't come up with...

Looking at a 220 pc tool set from Lowes/Kobalt and Sears Craftsman. Both are Metric and Standard sockets and three ratchets 1/2, 1/4, and 3/8. Some wrenches, allen set, and other small stuff. Been back and forth between the two. Both on sale for $ 99.00. Kobalt is made in Taiwan. Sears is...

Been bushhogging a field once a month since May of this year behind a commercial property I manage. First time I cut it I ran it in the A range pto speed. No saplings just the usual grass and weeds about 3' to 4' high. I kept running it the A range once a month with the grass/weeds about 1' to 1...

Just picked up a used Frontier GM 1072R finish mower. That thing is built like a tank. Just wondering if anyone has the Quick Hitch kit and if so how did it work out for you? I've gotten spoiled with the iMatch on my JD 3520. The only thing that I question about the kit are the chains that...

Anybody running a Frontier 1072R 3pt finish mower? How do they perform? Looking to get one for my JD 3520. What would be a fair price for a good used one? Thanks

You said you have dogs but they didn't detect anything. I don't know what type they are but my wife and I have always had Chesapeake Bay Retrievers (CBR). You talk about a great dog to protect you and your property, they are unmatched. They have a photographic memory of their property. If we...

I tilled up a small food plot and proceeded to spread seed on it. Its a small enough plot that one time down and back seeding with the 3pt spinner spreader takes care of it. The ground was fluffed up enough that I was sinking down about 4-5 inches. Went down and was coming back the tractor...

Bought my JD 3520 new in October 2010. Got the first service at the one year mark with 60 hrs. Changed the oil with breakin oil and new filters. Got the fuel filters changed also. Second year is coming up and I should have close to 120 hours on it. My question is do I go with the breakin oil...

I don't put enough hours on my 3520 so I get the oil changed yearly. I'm getting close to my second yearly service at 115 hrs. I continued with break-in oil with the first oil change. Should I use it again since I'm still under the 200 hr interval? What other services would anyone recommend...

I've had my 2010 JD 3520 for two years now and haven't come upon much slope to deal with until I got a mowing job where I cut the lawn also. The owners want it cut once a month. The pic I provided shows the slope. The part I'm talking about runs along side the parking lot. The first time I cut...

How does my JD 3520 balance out with the bucket off the 300CX FEL with the RC 1060 attached? Just wondering if I can cut without the bucket on in fields I've been mowing this year. Is there still enough weight on the front that the tractor would handle safely? The main thing I'm looking at...

I've been loading my JD 3520 w/FEL and Frontier RC1060 on my 18 ft 10,000 lb trailer for a monthly bushhogging job for a commercial client. As you can see by my pics I can get the whole rig on the trailer by dropping the bucket and lifting the tailwheel on the cutter with about six inches to...

Another one for $ 700.00

I used this sprayer for the first time this spring for lawn broadleaf weeds. It a 40 gallon Fimco with electric pump and 120 inch boom. I've done about 10 acres so far without a problem. I changed out the spray tips that came with it and replaced them with TeeJet air induction tips and a no...

Just an update on my thread last week about bushhogging with the bucket on or off. I decided to leave it on and it worked out fine. Found a pallet buried in the weeds before I ran over it and was able to push it out of the way with the bucket. Kept the bucket low while I was cutting but didn't...

I'll be transporting my JD 3520 With FEL and Frontier RC 1060 on my 18 foot trailer on Tuesday for a bushhogging job. With the bucket attached the whole unit will fit on the trailer with the wheel of the cutter hanging over the front about 1.5-2 ft. It doesnt cause a problem while turning I...

Opened up my latest Cabela's catalog and I see where they are now selling King Kutter equipment. There was a 5' or 6' rotary cutter, 60" and 72" KK II Tiller, and a 3 pt spinner spreader. Checked the website and they carry a good line of other KK products. Their prices were in line with what...

I checked out the slip clutch on my Frontier RC1060 and the KK II 60" tiller over the wkend to make sure they slipped and werent locked up. The tiller is new and the cutter is used but in very good shape. I loosened up the bolts on both units, chocked the blade on the cutter and blocked the...

Are the parts interchangeable on a Frontier RC 1060 and a JD LX5? They look like the same unit. Thanks

Got my first service on the JD 3520 about three weeks ago at 60 hours. I've run it one time since then for about 1.5 hours. I checked the engine oil before I started but didn't check the trans/hydro or the front axle fluid because it wasn't changed just topped off if needed. I wasn't going to...

I got Ken's Bolt on Hooks last week and installed them. They really are a great product, glad I got them. Now I'm ready for some chains for lifting. I know a lot of variables go into it as far as the job you're doing but I'm just checking to see what is a good average length you guys are...

I've read about the horror stories on getting the blade bolts out on various types of rotory cutters so I decided to give mine a try. My Frontier RC 1060 is a 2007 in very good condition. I bought it used just last Fall. The blades aren't that bad but I really wanted to get the bolts out. I...

I posted a thread about 3 weeks ago about my DOT Safety audit here in Maryland. I recieved a letter from FMCSA last week as a follow up. It was labeled as a Safety Audit Failure Notice. I was instructed to send them a Corrective Action Plan. In my case it was a Record of Duty Status and proof...

Got a call from MD DOT for an audit. They didn't want to see my trailer just the truck. Went to the State Police barracks for the audit. Come to find out they didn't look at the truck just asked if I had the numbers posted which I did. It was basically a paperwork audit. I didn't have anything...

It was time for me to get an iMatch for my JD 3520 so I called the local JD daeler and they had what they call an Economy QH. They said it was just like the iMatch but it had an adjustable top hook so I bought it. It fit anything I had that has a removable top pin except my Frontier RC 1060 and...

Just bought a used 2007 Frontier RC 1060 in very good condition to go behind my JD 3520. This is my third piece of Frontier equipment so it was time to get an iMatch QH to make life easier. The local JD dealer sells an economy QH part # PMQH100. Its black and it looks just like the iMatch but...

I'll be trailering my Frontier CA 2060E behind my JD 3520 for the first time in a few days. Looking for advice on how to set down the aerator on the trailer. I'd like to leave the three support stands down while its riding on the trailer so the spoons don't dig into the wooden floor boards...

I have a new KK II 60" tiller and I was wondering if it is compatable with the iMatch without any modifications. KK makes a pro model thats made for a QH but mine is not that kind. Thanks

I've got 55 hrs. on my year old JD 3520. I was going to get the first service done but the service manager at the JD dealer said to wait for 200 hrs. He printed out a page from the owner/op manual that states that but it also states that you should drain the engine oil yearly regardless of...

I found a used 2007 Frontier RC 1060 lightly used for 800 bucks. Slip clutch and stump jumper with two swinging blades. Its in really good condition. I have a JD 3520 eHydro 30hp pto. Is this the right fit for my tractor or do I need to go to a 6' model? I'll be cutting some thick grass...

Anyone plant any chicory? I planted some chicory about 3 or 4 years ago and its a good a stand as its ever been. Deer seem to like it. It just keeps coming back so I'll keep it. What are the nutrient requirements?

I used my new KK II 60" tiller Friday for a food plot and it worked great. I was very pleased with the tiller and the way my JD 3520 ehydro handled it. Try to get some pics out this week. Measured the shaft, I didn't have to do anything, it was just right. I checked and it came filled with...

Picking up a KKII 5' Tiller from Everything Attachments later this week and I had a question. I'll be working up a food plot. I bushhogged the plot to about 6 inches. I was thinking of discing the area before I rototilled to cut up any weeds that didn't get cut so it doesn't get wrapped...

I'm getting a set of CA Pallet Forks from Everything Attachments in a couple weeks for my JD 3520 300CX FEL. I was was thinking about some sort of container type box something like a 3-pt carry all box I could scoop up with the forks and use to haul and dump light bulky materials such as...

I'll be spreading 1 ton of lime and 300 lbs of fert tomorrow with my 3520 and I want to carry everything in one trip. I had to buy 40 bags of 50 lb lime and 6 bags of 50 fert and I can't fit it all on the trailer with the tractor. I was thinking of filling up the spreader with about half the...

I didn't save the pics to attach so I couldn't start a new thread. Go to page 2 on yesterdays thread "Not happy with spreader performance" # 18 to see the pics I posted . sorry for the trouble didn't know another way

I used my Landpride FSP 1000 3pt spinner spreader for the first time last Fall on a 3.5 acre lawn spreading fertilize and the results are showing up now and I'm not very pleased. I've got 3'-4' wide dark green strips in the lawn. The width of spread is 25' a side so I made my passes about 20'...

It took me awhile but I finally figured out how to get my pics on here. First pic is the day my JD 3520 arrived on 10/15/10 with the 300 CX FEL and Frontier RB1172 6' blade. The second one shows the Landpride FS 1000 spreader on the 10,000 lb. Diamond C trailer hooked to the Chevy 2500 HD 4x4...

I'd like to safely pull out some good size shrubs this week with my JD 3520. I plan on having the FEL on and a 72" HD scrape blade on back. I will pull with the drawbar and slip hook chain. I will dig around each plant to cut some of the roots and pull on level ground. I probably wouldn't seek...

I found a used King Kutter 72" rototiller. I see where they are rated for 35-50 pto HP. My 3520 is rated for 30 pto hp. Can my tractor handle the 72" ? I want to be able to run it like it should be not baby it along. The guy said he just used it in the garden no cmmercial use. Its about 4 yrs...

I'll be running a Frontier CA2060E core aerator on my 3520 for the upcoming lawn season. If I needed to take off the FEL for more maneuverability and less weight on the front tires to cause rutting would the weight of 650-700 lbs (CA plus 350 for extra weight) be too much on back without the...

I'm looking at a good deal on Frontier CA 2060E core areator. Someone bought it and decided it was too big for his lawns so he traded it back in and the local JD dealer is selling it used. It was never in the ground and looks brand new. It has 6 spoons per hub as compared to 8 on heavy duty...

At what hour mark do I get the first service done on my 3520? Didn't see it in the manual but I'd rather ask you guys anyway. Not much seat time this winter other than starting up running around the fields doing some odd jobs about once a week. One snow to push. 20 hours so far but looking to...

Does a 3520 ehydro have enough power to pull a Leinbach 14" 2 bottom plow?

I had my mind made up that I was going to get a KKII TG-60 tiller at my nearest TSC store. This store came up on the KK site so I called them and they now carry County Line. It looks like the KKII as far as what a picture will tell you. Does KK make the CL and is it alright? Would I just be...

Has anybody ever been stopped by DOT? About 3 years ago I got pulled over on a section of road that MD State DOT had set up to stop anybody pulling a trailer. My trailer is an 18' landscape trailer and I had two mowers loaded on. Just by the Grace of God when they checked me everything was ok...

The MFWD lever on my JD 3520 engages smooth and easy but disengages not as smooth. I haven't tried to move the tractor a little bit front or back ever so slightly to see if that helps like I do sometimes to move the range shifter. Its only got about 20 hrs on it so maybe I haven't gotten past...

Anybody own/use a Frontier 2060E model Core Aerator? Landpride and Befco make the same lighter frame unit. They all have 6 spoons compared to 8 on the HD models. I was wondering what kind of results anyone has achieved with the lighter model. I'm looking at a Frontier 2060E model at the local...

I'd like to hear from anyone using a 3pt Core Aerator. I'd like to purchase one for the 2011 lawn care season. I'll be hooking it to my JD 3520 37 HP tractor. Thanks

Anybody own a Frontier RB 1172 6' rear blade? I've only used mine once for snow behind my 3520 JD. I like all angles it offers and the weight. It might be called a medium duty but it looks heavy duty to me, I really like it.

On the 3520 which hole of the three do I put the 3 pt arm in to get the highest lift? I had my Frontier HD 72" pushing some snow and altho it lifted high enough to operate I would like to see it higher if possible. I was running the arm in the middle hole. I know the info is in my manual but I...

Used my 3520 300CX FEL, Frontier 72" HD Rear Blade R4's pushing snow yesterday and I was very pleased with how the tractor performed. We had 6 inches of snow which isn't much but combine that with 40 mph winds across flat open fields and you have a problem. I had 4 foot high drifts to deal with...

What does Kubota have to match up with the 2010 JD 3520 ehydro FEL and how much does it cost? I'm very pleased with my JD and I know I made the right decision for me. I did look at a Kubota but I can't remember the model. It didn't match up as far as features so I was wondering just what does...

Can a 3520 ehydro handle a 6' rotary cutter? The JD website says only a 5'.

Are chains a good fit on the '10 3520 rear R4 tires? Do they clear the fenders safely? We don't get alot of snow in a normal winter here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland but after last year's 3 big storms I want to be prepared for the worst.

I've seen this topic beat to death but not on a 3520 so here it is. When I push in the key for the pre warm start the pigtail lights up on the left side of the dash and a message scrolls across the display saying wait to start but it seems to long a wait. Does anybody wait for the light to go...

Just got my 2010 3520 about a month ago and I love it. My question is if I push snow is my 450 lb. scrape blade enough weight to get decent traction to the rear wheels. I don't want to fill the tires because I got this tractor for overseedeing, aerating and other work in and around lawns and I...
