15 Series

[Fernland]

Anyone have experience with the 3520? Have you found it lacking power and under what circumstances?

I looked at the new 15 and 20 when I purchased, the cost difference wasn't significant so I went with the larger heavier tractor and am glad I did.
The extra weight really helps the tractor perform. The 35 horse is more than enough HP when working, the only thing I have noticed is that with a backhoe and a steep incline that third range is difficult for it pull.

Thanks Fernland. That's the kind of feedback I was hoping for. What kind of tires do you have on yours? How bad is the weight on lawn?

I have just built and have a mud pit and slash piles instead of grass...that being said I don't think either the 15 or 20 would be able to be used as a finish mower on a lawn. I have the R4 tires, and when operating on the field grass it will leave a mark.
