I bought my model year 2005 3520 used with 400 hours on it about 10 years ago for 15k. Only has around 1100 hours on it now. Been a great machine, still has the original tires on it, and the battery has been replaced a couple times now. No complaints at all with it. I think I could sell it in...

If you are trying to figure out where the tractor should be positioned on a trailer, this process and a tongue weight scale may help: https://www.etrailer.com/tv-review-sherline-trailer-tongue-weight-scale-5780.aspx I own this scale and have used it to determine the best position for my tractor...

Following. Please let us know what the eventual issue was, if determined. On my 3520 with R4 tires and wheels, the wheel bolts were torqued and marked at 400 hours and I've now got 1100 hours on the unit. I've never rechecked the torque, but will now go out and look closely at the bolt marks to...

Howdy Eddie, Here's a photo of what we built to keep our cats inside the backyard. It works great to keep the cats in, and has been mostly effective to keep other cats, raccoons, possums, etc. out of the backyard. I say mostly because occasionally smart raccoons and possums have made their way...

This is my question as well. What type of tires are they, exactly? Can you describe what "trashed" means for the tire that did not burst? I can understand a single tire failure, the one that "burst", but issues with BOTH front tires at the same time seems odd to me. For perspective, I have a...

Milwaukee Packout, all the way! https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Storage-Solutions/PACKOUT

This unit is a much different animal than the 3520 with a lot less HP on both the engine and the PTO, and the R3 tires serve a different purpose than the typical R4 tires. Really depends on what you will use the tractor for and the requirements of the implements that you plan to use with the...

Just a couple more thoughts/questions: - Is the oil leak on the engine or on the hydraulic system? Both systems use filters. Would be good to know exactly how they fix it so it can be checked in the future. Nothing more annoying than a leak that keeps leaking. :) - Can you check the PTO to...

I agree with others: seems like a fair and reasonable price if the unit is in good condition. When I purchased my used 3520, I had a tractor-knowledgeable friend give it a look-over just to have his opinion before I purchased it. Good to have a second pair of eyes on such a purchase. I've been...

If you have access to Costco, they have the best price and warranty of any batteries I can find in my area. No need to go with a Deere battery, IMO. The Costco batteries are Interstate Batteries here locally. They have performed well for my 3520 and my X584. In fact, both machines use the Type...

If it is in good shape and appears to be well-maintained, that seems like a reasonable price. What model year is it and which loader? For additional reference, see: https://www.machinefinder.com/ww/en-US/categories/used-compact-tractors/makes/john-deere/models/3520 I wish I had a cab on my 3520...

I use an old Bear Cat SC5540 with my JD 3520 that has 30hp at the PTO. Some other advice on chippers: Keep the blades sharp, know how to remove the blades, know how to sharpen the blades, invest in a replacement set of blades. Ear and eye protection are a must have. Enjoy (and be VERY...

I use this appliance for mild sleep apnea. It works very well for me. https://glidewelldental.com/solutions/sleep-dentistry/mandibular-advancement-devices/silent-nite-sleep-appliance

This is the way I adjust my blades on the x584. There is a specific tool that makes measuring the blade height very easy. Something like this...

I have an open station 2005 model year 3520 with around 1000 hours on it and this sounds similar to the way my throttle works. The engine RPMs will reduce slightly after moving the throttle up to increase engine speed. The RPMs will then remain steady after they have reduced a bit. It has always...

You will likely run out of traction before you run out of PTO horse power, depending on tractor speed, soil type and depth of tillage. Weight is your friend with tilling. :)

That unit has a very solid K58 transaxle and the super-tough Accel deck so you should have a lifetime of excellent performance. I upgraded from a Husqvarna to a X584 with the 54-inch Accel deck several years ago and there is a world of difference between those units. Very satisfied with the...

I'm just happy that I can still obtain parts for my 17-year-old JD 3520. :) I've never felt that JD is discouraging self-service on tractors that are no longer manufactured. When there are no parts available, whether OEM or third-party, then we are all in trouble...

Try jump-starting the tractor using a known-good battery. If the tractor starts with the booster battery, then it is likely that the existing battery in the 3520 is bad and must be replaced. If the tractor will not start using a booster, then the issue is somewhere else with a fuse, cable...

Good comparison data here: https://www.machinefinder.com/ww/en-US/categories/used-compact-tractors/makes/john-deere/models/3046r

The X584 can be configured with a 54-in deck. I have the 54-in deck on my X584 and it works really well. I'm very happy with my setup, highly recommend!

ROCKROOSTER Men's 6-inch Pull on Work Boots, Water Resistant, Steel Toecap, Slip Resistant, Anti Static, Leather, ASTM 2413-11 I/75 https://rockroosterfootwear.com/products/black-6-inch-pull-on-leather-work-boots-ak227

Can you test the PTO with any other implements to see if it is working ok with them? If ok with other implements, then the issue is with the bush hog; likely the slip clutch as wolc123 suggested.

Have you tried to jump-start the tractor from another vehicle or a battery booster? If a jump-start works to start the engine, you need a new battery. If the jump-start does not work, look elsewhere for the issue with electrical cables, connections, starter motor. Good luck!

Congrats on the new unit! You will likely enjoy it. Regarding your towing question, here's the Operator's Manual: The X350 is approx. 500 pounds. Add another 200 pounds for you and the mower deck. If it were my first real Deere, I would not tow anything over 700 pounds, especially during the...

Beautiful hill country around Bandera! Access to water makes it so much more beautiful (and valuable). Hope it flows year-round so that future fish and wildlife get to enjoy it as well. :)

They could all be low on inventory. I've read that steel prices are way up and availability is low depending on your region of the country. Best to pay a brief visit to each for a quick introduction and look-around at inventory. Good luck!

What exactly were you trying to improve with this major site user interface change? Seems like a downgrade to me. Poor colors, clunky navigation, where did my watched forums go?

This resolved my issue and I thought I would write this up for the community. I have a model year 2005 JD 3520 that was displaying an Err 06 when moving in either forward or reverse. The 3520 Operator's Manual says that this is a "MFWD Speed error caused by "No signal at MFWD speed input and...

I think that your arms are installed incorrectly. Here are pics of my 3520. Notice the red arrow pointing to the curved notch on the arms - the notch is on the side of the flange facing toward the front of the tractor. Your notch is on the side facing the rear of the tractor. Right Side (if...

Some photos of the new X584. Gearz - have not noticed any clunking sounds from the front wheels, but will listen closely the next time I have it out.

Hi Folks, I'm interested in the 4-wheel steering units like the 2016 model year X394 and X584 and would like to hear the good and the bad about these from folks that actually have experience with them. Would also be good to know how the new 54-inch Accel deck performs, and what the all-wheel...

FYI to the community in case anyone is interested. My JD 3520 uses approx. 1 gallon of fuel per hour running the MX5 shredder while cutting medium to heavy density 1'-2' native grass (and native weeds) here in Central Texas. I also average about 1 acre per hour shredding this grass on mostly...

You could use a rotary tiller after the discing. Tilling after discing on left, discing on right: This is clay to clay-loam soil, and I worked it a little too moist. Had I waited, the clods on the right would have been smaller with less moisture in the soil. This is newly-broken ground for...

I use a simple steering wheel lock with the wheels turned to their max angle. The bar of the lock needs to rest against something immovable for this to be effective.

Anyone have any feedback on this unit? Any info on how it compares to the DR Power trimmer/mower units? The Husqvarna looks like it could be made by DR Power. Thanks!

Hi Folks, Is anyone using the MX6 on a 3520? If yes, what are your experiences? Much thanks!

1.7lb Persimmon and a 1.3lb Cherokee Purple along with assorted varieties. The orange and yellow tomatoes weighed 10lbs. All organic.

I tried the weave last year and the wind forced me back to wire mesh cages. Also, my big plants sprawled way outside of the weave and didn't get the support they needed, and the jute stretched, and I was having to string new lines at higher points on the stakes as the plants grew. Lots of work...

Here's my small truck pulling a relatively small tractor on an 18' car hauler with brakes on one axle. I'm well within the max. tow capacity of the truck and have a good brake controller, a weight distributing hitch, and everything works well for my setup. You'll need to run the numbers for...

Hi Folks, Wanted to get your opinion on the importance of measuring tongue weight. Is it common practice to actually measure the tongue weight with a scale for each load you haul, or do you just eyeball-it? For perspective, the scenario is a relatively small truck (2013 Tacoma v6 w/tow...

Hi Folks, Anyone have any experience or thoughts on the benefits/drawbacks of "C" blades vs "L" blades in rotary tillers in terms of impacts on creating a soil hard pan below the max tillage depth? It would seem to me that the "L" blades would be more prone to create a hard pan since the...

Hi Folks, I need to consult with the collective wisdom of the TBN community on an issue I'm having with my 2005 JD 3520 with 527 hours and a 300X loader on it. The issue is that the loader bucket is curling very (extremely) slow now. It is very slow in both curling up and curling down, and I...
