I've been looking for months at the honda pioneer, kawasaki mule and can am defender. I really like the mule, but the others have a much better turning radius. 16 feet to less than 14. It is going to be a 50 / 50 machine work and play. Without trying it on my property, it's hard to tell if...

I have a 2007 3720 with 500 hours on it. I have a 7 foot stone rake, 6 foot finish mower, 6 1/2 Curtis snow plow, front forks and a rear ballast box. I also have a 2013 X750 with 50 hours on it. The 3720 has ag tires on it since I wanted a wider stance for my hilly terrain. I have 10 acres and...

I have a 2012 Polaris Ranger XP 800 with EPS. It is the sage green one. It has about 70 hours on it in excellent condition. I am looking to sell it and went to the NADA site to find a retail price. I found $9600 but it did not mention EPS on it. Is there a place I can get an accurate appraisal...

I have a chance to buy a used rake and the following is the information on it. Modern Implements Div of York Modern Corp, Unadilla, NY MR3 Landscape Rake I have heard of York before but not this division. It appears to have been build in Unadilla NY. Does anyone know how good these rakes...

I am trying to move this large rock to use in landscaping around my house. I have a JD 3720 and I put my pallet forks on to try and pick it up. I got them under the rock easily but my loader could not pick it up. I had my ballast box on the back loaded with concrete, my tires have weights on...

My dealer is touting some aftermarket weights. Can anyone tell me how much the standard John Deere weights are per rear wheel and the cost? Thanks Bob

I have a 3720 with ag tires on it. I switched the industrial tires out when I bought due to being able to dish the wheels out. With the industrial tires on it seemed unstable on my hilly property. I used to have a 120 foot gravel driveway but put the 3 inches of base blacktop on it. Since it...

Took delivery of an X750 today...,mowed about two acres. So far so good.

I have a 3720 that started to heat up a little today for the first time....did not get in the red on the gauge. I was mowing a field with my finish mower and it was really thick. It was about 90 degrees also....I think the tractor was working hard but never noticed this before. It sent out a...

As promised....the granddaughter likes it.

Bought a 2012 non-EPS 800 XP today. Will be delivered soon. I just couldn't justify the extra for EPS. I will post pics when it gets here. Thanks for everyones help with this process. Bob

I am looking to purchase a UTV. I own 10 acres of land and would like something to work around my property. I would like something with 4 wheel drive and possibly diesel. I just need a working machine and some rides with the granddaughter. I have been looking around for awhile....my...

A neighbor is looking to buy a tractor about my size, I have a 3720. He wants a loader, backhoe and 6 foot finish mower. He has a quote from Kubota on the L3800 at about $26,000. I am confused on what backhoe I should configure for the 3320. Even taking 15% off (which is what I got when I...

I just bought a new X540, I had a X740 but sold it(long story). I really like the X540 and works well for what I need to do. The only thing that I really like better on the X740 was the seat. I upgraded to the deluxe seat and it worked much better for me. My question is, can I buy the X700...

I have a new X540 and the manual says to change the oil and filter at the 8 hour mark. My question is, can I use synthetic oil at the first oil change or should I go with regular oil? Thanks Bob

Can anyone give me an idea how much I should expect to pay for one of the X530. Previous deals with JD have been about 15 percent off. Is that still something I shoot for in this transaction? Also, they have a 2008 X540 with 108 hours on it for $5500, is that a better deal then a new X530...

I have a 3720 with a 300CX loader with a 6 1/2 foot Curtis snowplow connected by skid steer QA. I have a gravel driveway and at times the plow catches and rolls under. I have tried playing with the skid shoes but never seem to get it right. I try using the float of the loader and that helps but...

I am starting to look at UTV's for my 10 acre property. It will be used for 80% work and 20% recreational. I live in upstate NY on a very steep piece of property. I have a JD 3720 with a loader and a JD X740 to mow around my house. Therefore I don't believe I need a automatic dump. Both my wife...

My father in law passed in 2004 and his GX has been mostly sitting in the barn for all these years. My brother in laws mower a tiny patch of grass with it. It only has 51 hours on it. It has a 48 inch deck, 42 inch snowblower and a cab they hardly ever put on. This cab is a large fiberglass one...

I have an almost 3 year old JD 3720. I went to start it today and just clicked. I tried to jump it and it would only turn over slowly. I am charging the battery now. I cleaned the terminals just in case. Does it make sense that a 3 year old battery can go bad? I only have 210 hours on the...

I have the subject mower and hit something and bent a blade. I asked my John Deere dealer that I bought it from, if Woods make a heavier blade. He said they do not. When I got my new Woods blades, they felt lighter then the orignals. If Woods doesn't carry a heavier blade, would any after...

I have a 3720 and I plan on changing over to Amsoil Hydraulic fluid. I have changed my X740 engine oil and hydro over already. Last year I switch the engine over on the 3720. I read the manual and I have the oil, my question is, are there any tricks to things to watch out for while I do it...

I have an X740 I bought this year that I don't plan on using in the winter. I have a 3720 to do my snow plowing with. It only has 16 hours on it, when I asked my dealer he recommended I change the oil and store the battery in a warm place. I get the battery but do I really need to change the...

I finally go around to making my ballast box based on designs I saw here. It used 600 lbs of quick rite concrete mix. Attached is a picture. I think it came out pretty nice for an amateur. Thanks to whomever s design I used.

My neighbor is looking at ZTRs and wanted to know if there were certain manufacturers/models that are better on hills. His slope is like mine, 5-15 degrees and he plans on mowing 3-4 acres. He said his budget is 5-8K. He would probably want a rugged one. He likes my JD stuff but I don't...

I had a thread last year on the JD Ballast box and filling it with concrete. I am ready to tackle that job but I need some help. 1)I believe portland cement was the heaviest and I needed 5 or 6 94lb bags. 2)Since I have not worked with cement before, do I mix it right in the ballast box, one...

New X740 arrived on Saturday....I have not had a chance to use her much but here are some pictures. I know my neighbor is jealous since it dwarfs his Cub Cadet riding mower and it's a diesel. Bob

Went to use my tractor and the 3 pt hitch will not raise. My FEL works fine...checked for oil and that was fine. It is still under warranty, what could be the culprit? Thanks

I am looking at pallet forks for my 3720 John Deere. I originally asked about different manufacturers and many liked the Horst ones. My questios is, what rating ones do I need? Horst has 1200lb, 2000lb and 3700lb models. What would the price differences be and what one is best for me. The...

Ignore this one.....somehow this posted twice..... Can an admin person delete this?

I have a 3720 with a 300CX loader. They put on a JD skid steer adapter on the loader arms. It worked fine until I had them put the 3rd SCV on and hook up my snow plow. The first time I took the plow off to put my bucket it on, I noticed the arms were not moving at the same speed. This makes if...

I live in upstate NY on a hill. My soil is well drained. I have an acre around my house that is lawn. I also mow my field that is about 4 acres. My issue is the field is getting very uneven and slows down my mowing. My question is, how big of a lawn roller do I need? How much weight is...

My dealer believes he has an X495, a couple years old and about 100 hours coming in on a trade. If in excellent shape, what would it be worth with a 54 inch mower on it? If this doesn't workout, I think I am going to go with the X740.

My dealer came over today and took my R4s of and put the ag tires on with the wheels dished out. The rear R4s outside measured at 58 inches, with the ags it is 65 inches. The dealer said he could move them one more position out but wanted to make sure my 6 foot Woods mower would work still...

First, I had a lead on a used JD 455 Diesel garden tractor that fell through. Next, I was looking at an X700 that had 11 hours on it but I lost my company and Deere's rebates so new looks better, unless I can find a good deal on a used one. So, I have started looking at the X700 series new...

I have some great feedback on Bradco and Horst...has anyone ever heard or bought from a company named Budget Fork Lifts? Thanks

Can someone tell me the typical discount one can expect on X500 series machines? Thanks Bob

I am looking to buy pallet forks for my JD 3720 tractor. I have the skid steer quick attach. My main usage would be moving firewood via boxes I plan to build from wooden pallets. What size would I need? What brand names are good to look at and are there used ones available? Thanks

The reason I am trying to put weights on my rear wheels is stability. I have very hilly terrain and assumed that the 3720 would be more stable then my previous New Holland TC33D. I told the dealer I would like to get a 4000 series up to my property in the spring to evaluate if it would...

My dealer is telling me that the only weights that can fit on the R4 rears is the 50 lb starter weights? He confirmed this with the regional guy. Can this be right?

My dealer is telling me I can get 150 lbs on each rear wheel in wheel weights. Does this sound right? I have the tires loaded already and resorted to this since I have a very hilly terrain. Thanks

I see at my local Lowes they have Portland Cement type 1 in a 94lb bag. Is this what I want to use on my ballast box? If it is the right type, how many bags would I need? Thanks

I have been off the forum for a while due to coaching high school football. I finally decided on the JD 3720 hydro with the 300CX loader with a 6 1/2 Curtis skid steer snow plow. Got the heavy duty bucket. For mowing I bought the Woods PRD7200. I also bought a Split Fire wood splitter for...

I just bought a JD 3720 with a JD ballast box, Woods PRD7200 finish mower and a Splitfire wood splitter. I had my dealer try the Imatch and it didn't work with the Woods mower. My choices are the harbor frieght, Speeco or Landpride quick hitches. Or Pat's easy change system. Of the quick...

I am taking delivery soon of a 3720. My dealer is out of JD ballast boxes and had to order it. In the meantime I have a ballast bar from my old tractor that has 500lbs of weights on it. I see on my 300CX manual it calls for loading the tires which I did. 3 wheel weights per side and 1100 lbs...

My 3720 is in and almost ready to go. I wanted the wheels dished out to the maximum width since I live on a hill. They are about 62" wide now. The dealer's mechanic said the R4s can't be dished anymore then that. Is this a true statement?

I just bought a new JD 3720 and the mechanic didn't recommend going to synthetic for the engine oil. Something about the emission sensors and such. Is he giving me a line or should I listen. I ran Amsoil in my NH and it worked great. Thanks Bob

I am buying an JD 3720 tractor...I have a couple of questions.... 1) Can I use biodeisel when it is available? 2) Do I need to put an additive in the new low sulfur deisel for lubrication? Thanks

I have a John Deere 3720 tractor on order. In my old New Holland TC33D I ran Amsoil HD 15-40 diesel oil in the engine. I also replaced the standard NH hydraulic oil with Amsoil hydraulic oil. My question is, how does the JD Plus-50, 0W-40 match up against Amsoil? I can't find any synthetic...

Got ship dates today, 5/17 for the tractor and 5/24 on the loader. Gonna be a long month :(

I am buying a 3720 with a Woods mower, Split Fire 3 PT hitch wood splitter and a JD ballast box. My dealer is going to see if all that will work with the iMatch, if they don't, he will look at one of the other brand's quick hitch systems. My question is, if he gets the all the implements to...

I sealed the deal today with my John Deere salesman. Below is what I ordered and the pricing I received. How did I do? 3720 - R4's, power beyond, 3rd SCV, block heater, Telescoping draft links, forward and backward lights, automotive cruise, air seat suspension and loaded tires. $ 19,975...

After some advice from this forum I have decided that the 3320 was too much like my NH TC33D horse power wise and would like to go larger. Now my question is, would I be better to get the 3520 or 3720? I am going to mow 7 or so acres, push snow, skid logs and use a 3PH splitter. One of the...

Anyone have any experience with this wood splitter? I have a Wallenstein currently but I am selling it with my tractor. The only thing I didn't like about it was the return rate. I had to idle the tractor up to get it to return faster. The Splitfire appears to split in both directions. Any...

I am looking at the 3320 and 3520. I see the difference is the 3520 is a turbo unit. Has there been any issues with the turbo units themselves that I should be wary of? I assume they are covered by the same warranty as the engine itself. Thanks

Can anyone tell me the difference between the CK35 HST and the DK35SE HST and the pricing for both? Talked to my local dealer and he knew nothing about the new DK35SE HST model.

My dealer is suggesting a Walco Douglass mower, are they any good? Also, what is the difference between a Woods RD7200 and a PRD7200? Thanks

How do you TC40DA owners like the two pedal HST? I currently have a TC33D and I like the tractor but not the treadle pedal. Been looking at JD 3320s since I have a bad hip and the JD two pedal system is easier to operate. Also, does the NH site have list pricing on this tractor? Thanks Bob

I am looking at a 3320 with a 300CX loader. I have a couple of questions since I get conflicting answers from different JD dealers. 1) The air seat option, is in available on the open platform model? One dealer said it is only for the cab version. 2) I want the skid steer QA capability for...

Can someone give me an idea what I can expect for a price on this mower? Are there options I should or shouldn't get and what are their prices? Thanks

I have 10 acres of land, need to plow my 100 foot driveway, mow lawn and field and repair my stone driveway amongst other usage. I am looking at the three tractors above. Will need HST, R4s, Front End Loader, mid mount mower or rear (undecided), QA on FEL so I can mate with a curtis snow plow...

Can someone let me know what I can expect to see for pricing on these two models? Will need to be hydro tranny, R4 tires and mid mount PTO. Thanks Bob

I have a 2003 TC33D with a 7308 loader with QA along with a 5 foot 914A MMM. It has 300 hours on it, the loader 75 and the mower about 100. Since the first oil change I have run Amsoil synthetic in the engine, front end, power steering and hydraulics. The rear tires are loaded with Rim Guard...

I have seen all the discussion on the 3 point hitch versus regular stand alone units. I have decide on the stand alone, but not sure what I should buy. Are their any particular brands out there I should look to buy or stay away from? What tonage do I need? I am only doing for my wood I use at...

Every once in awhile my main fuse by the start blows. Then I have to tap the solenoid on the starter to get it to free up. I thought I remember where somebody had the same issue. Should I just replace the solenoid? What would one cost and is it easy to replace. On the positive side, just...

I heard that the new cleaner diesel fuel is on the market soon. Do I need to add some type of additive to it or is it fine like it is. I have a 2003 NH TC33D tractor. Thanks Bob

I started looking at 6 foot box blades. My dealer has Landpride but they are over $800. Is there a good but less expensive brand I should look at? I would be using it to level areas on my property and also stones in my driveway. Thanks

After some work, we found the problem I had with the glow plug light not staying on. I was asked by my dealer to try the ignition switch but that didn't fix it. So I took the tractor (TC33D) and the dealer found the glow plug timer was not working. He replaced it and it has worked like a...

Can anyone tell me if the 14LA can be used on a TC33D? I have been told that it can be by my dealer. If not, I can go with a 7308. What should I expect to pay for either one? Thanks, Bob
