Kinda hard to get to without taking some stuff loose, but if you try hard you can get to the adjustment from the top by just taking a few bolts loose so you can shift some of the plastics. You need to have a gauge to do it right. And as always, I recommend buying the technical manual. One of...

Loaded the rear tires on the 3320 this morning, 2 gallons of antifreeze and the rest water in each. What a difference it makes. I had been dissatisfied with the R4s being able to back the 3320 out of a drainage collection basin at the end of the drive way. The deep loose sand always just gave it...

Completed the hydraulic side link last weekend, and I am very satisfied with the results. I purchased a clevis hydraulic cylinder from The Surplus Center (6 inches of travel), cut the ends off of it and welded on a swivel eye off of spare top link I had laying around, and then welded a homemade...

Getting ready to install a hydraulic side link, and wondering what the thoughts are on this cylinder; https://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?UID=3516013115295779&item=9-7258-8&catname= My current side link is ~18" center to center at its shortest; this cylinder is ~15". I was thinking I could...

If a Prince SV stack valve (or any brand I guess) is placed in a hydraulic system that already contains a system relief valve (I am talking about a JD 3320 tractor here) can or should the Prince relief valve plug be removed and replaced with the optional no-relief plug assembly or can the Prince...

Got froggy and installed the hydraulic top link yesterday. The outcome is that is works fantastic, but I must admit that the install did not go well. Had a leak and actually bent the cylinder piston rod the first time I operated it with an implement attached, both problems were my fault (maybe...

Can the Prince SVE23 closed center outlet section be converted to an SVE21 open center outlet section simply by changing the "Option 3, Closed Center Outlet" plug (P/N 660280002) to the "Option 1, Open Center Plug" (P/N 200400030)? Better yet can the Option 3 plug be machined to remove the...

Sorry for the poor quality phone pictures. Three pines plus a small Sweet Gum in one clump. The roots were matted together making it difficult for the 24" bucket (too big) to dig through, but patience prevailed. Below the top soil the ground was hard white clay that I broke apart with the...

Odd behavior or normal? I have 2006 JD 3320 eHydro with a 300x loader, LoadMatch is always on (mostly), around 350 hours. After bush hogging for a while if I drop the engine RPM below 1700 the tractor loses almost all forward speed. It just creeps. Anything above 1700 RPM and the tractor is back...

The 400 hour service of my JD 3320 will be due late summer or fall of this year. I have already purchased a filter kit, two 5 gal pails of Low-Vis hydraulic oil, 5 qts of 15w40 motor oil, and a gallon of anti-freeze. My question concerns the inline hydraulic filters. The owner's manual says to...

Went out this morning to box blade the drive with the 2006 JD 3320 after some heavy rainstorms over the last several days, the tractor cranked and ran fine. I pulled it out from under its cover to drop of the backhoe and pickup the box blade. I turned the machine off to disconnect the hoe...

Thanks to JB4310 for the idea. Fabbed using 2" square tubing with .375 inch walls, two 4 ft pieces bought off of eBay for around $50 including shipping. Bought a 12" and 18" receiver from Harbor Freight, both were on sale for under $10 each. Cut six inches off the 12 and used for the middle...

Anyone understand the sudden dramatic price increase in PTO tillers? The CCM MR-160 recently went from $1600 to $1950 and the KingKutter 60" at TSC (web price) went from $1400 to $1700. Just when I was about buy one.

The stabilizer cylinders on my 447 backhoe are weeping a little bit of hydraulic fluid from around the cylinder rods. I probably lose a couple of tablespoons a day, but the leaks are there. It appeared soon after a dig that slid the tractor forward (from the hoe seat point of view) a foot or so...

Anyone have some good advice on adjusting the "moveable latch plates" on the 447 backhoe to allow correct alignment so the L-pins can be inserted easily on a 3320 tractor? I moved the latch plates after removing the backhoe (my bad) and allowing the lean to be further back than the recommended...

Ok, here's the deal. The wife has given me permission to buy a tractor. It has come down between two units, a new Mahindra 2615 HST with a FEL and BH or a used 2006 eHydro John Deere 3320 with a FEL(300x) and BH(447). The Deere has 185 hours on it, has been maintained by the dealer, and has some...

Looking for a price check on a Mahindra 2615 HST with loader and backhoe. The local dealer in Columbia, SC has quoted me a price of $19,880 for the Gear model and $21,100 for the HST. Both are around 10% off list, should I expect him to go lower? Cocre
