Ive only used the 300x laoder and it works for light duity loader work. Good luck.

Is there not very much difference in the strength of the loader's arms?
I just purchased a used 3520 with a 300X loader. I noticed if the bucket is a foot or so off the ground and I stand up in it on either the far right or left side, the arms of the loader seem to shift quite a bit. I am concerned about stressing things if I pick up a load that isn't exactly centered, such as some broken up concrete, field rocks, etc.
According to a ballast calculator on Deere's website, the 300X weighs 803 lbs and the 300CX weighs 879 lbs. Since the difference is only 76 lbs, it seemed like spruce Deere might be correct that the only difference is the size of the cylinders.
So, does anyone have any thoughts on this? Is the 300CX loader more sturdy or just have more capable cylinders?

I grab it at dealers place couple years back, one of their fliers out of the rack. Nothing in this one on BHs.
