300X-300CX loaders

BigGary · Feb 1, 2005

I got a 400X loader with my 4320.
Anyone know if JD will come out with a 400CX loader similar to the one on the 110TLB?

The "C" in CX stands for commercial. These CX loaders will be used on mid-frame compacts. The 400X loaders are only for large frame compacts. The loader on the 110 TLB's are a design of the machine and are stationary on the machine with the hydraulics plumbed directly to the tractor. As of now you will not be seeing a 400CX loader but you will be seeing a 400X self-leveling loader soon.

Hey I just had to say this (no offense) Maybe he stayed at the Holiday Inn last night.

KASBAS,
I think a self leveler SHOULD be standard! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Heck I just sold a 1957 INTERNATIONAL DU-350 that had an Anderson self leveler and a Wain Roy cable swing backhoe.
I loved the loader and liked the bachhoe. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

It just depends on how you view it. To a lot of people self-leveling probably is standard equipment. They would not think about anything but self-leveling. You will be paying for it anyway you look at it though. If it was made standard by the factory it doesn't mean that dealers would order it as such but if enough people start opting for it there will be more on dealer yards and don't be suprised if it becomes standard.

Do you think it is true that the mid-sized CUT's (30 hp or so) will not have a self-leveling FEL because it will be too heavy?
Need to get into the heavier tractors, like in the 5000 series to support the weight and not detract from the lifting capacity.
That is what I have heard.
Thanks for the Bio. Your comments will be appreciated, I am sure. But probably not taken as 'gospel' without some good discussion. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks for your input. It is nice to have dealership folks join in. I hope we help you. You sure are a help here...

It is simply an engineering issue, don't look for the 300 series loaders to be self-leveling soon but I would not mind speculating that the engineers at Deere are looking in to it. If it is what customers are asking for they will find a way to do it. It just might take a while to get.
