Congratulations on the new 3520. Like I always say, work will seem more like play with a nice rig like that. Enjoy.

Thanks everyone! Will be sure to post some Pic's for sure. Thanks for the advice on the waiting for a bucket, I am calling them in a few mintues to put some pressure on!!!

I would love a front mount but, could pass up the price on the 3pt. Beside, I have time I work 48 hours on and 72 hours off so I will have lots of time to paly...oops I mean work!

Stay Safe

Quick question for those with the expirence. I am looking at possibly getting a dump trailer to do double duty, move tractor around on occasion and get mulch and gravel and wood mostly. I have a slight lenght restriction due to a turn on my road into my place, but will my JD 3520 with 300 CX FEL fit on a 6x12 dump trailer?

Any recommendations for trailer places around Winchester VA, or Capon Bridge WV (22611 or 26711 ZIP)

Thanks

I'll try to remember to measure my tractor tomorrow and let you know what the length is with the loader attached. The main concern on that size trailer would be where the center of your load winds up being; too far to the rear, not good; too far to the front, not good either. Most dump trailers that size are at least 10,000lb trailers (I've seen 12'ers up to 14,000lbs) which is more than adeqate for your tractor which should be just under 5000lbs with filled tires.
You may want to pick up a Valley Trader magazine, there are usually trailer dealers advertisements in it. One way to get the weight center to balance out a bit is to play around with how you put the machine in the trailer i.e. backed in, vs. pulled in, bucket up & off the front or rear a little (provided the trailer has added side/front height to get everything above your pick-up, provided thats what you'll be using to tow the trailer) etc. I would try to find a way to allow the loader to rest on the trailer (extended) rails if that is the route you choose, just remember to check that everything clears the tow vehicle when making turns.
Also, if you must have the loader outside of the actual trailer, make sure you take the steps to make the loader "not quick attach capeable", there is instructions on how to do this in the owners manual; it's pretty easy to do. Enjoy the new machine.

Thanks for the tips!

I called the dealer again today in hopes of moving things along and the bucket is in and mounted and the toothbar is supposed to be in 1st of the week! So mid week or end of the week should be parking it in my barn!!!!!

Way to go! I just picked up my 3520 last week. Ordered back Feb 15, was promised May 1st, like I said above Just got my on 6-3-10, Was WORTH the wait. Aready put 11hrs on it and going home to mow grass again tonight, Also the I-match is a very handy opt. to have I found. Good like on the new tractor. Had two problems with my already the deck cyl bleeds off and the 3pt jump up and drifts off, I think its just air in the hyd system, Talked with the dealer and it goes back next week for the deck problem, thier going the install and new cyl, Want to hear more about your tractor when you get it

Wow, that doesn't bode well. I ordered my 3320 on May 15, if you're right I won't see it till August!

Good luck with the 3520, nice machines.

SSSWWWWEEEEETTTTT!!!

Just got an email and I am going to pick up on Wednesday (as long as buddy trailer is free)!!!!!!!!!!!

The down side is it will have to set for 48 hours after that I am at work with out being used!!! ;)

Did you get a shop/tech manual with yours? I didn't and am wondering if that is something worth it or if I should just find someone that did and maybe split the cost with them for a copy of it?

Brian

Not sure how I will sleep tonight!

Well, by now you probably already know how long the tractor is, but I finally remembered to measure mine; 13' 8" from front edge of bucket (bucket level on the ground) to the rear of the 3 pt lift arms at the level position. Enjoy your new tractor.
