3320 cab belly mower lift question...?

mcgill72143 · May 21, 2013

can anyone tell me if the loader hoses and the hydro lift for the belly mower are hooked up at the same time or will I loose my curl function connection for the mower lift cylinder to operate with the loader and mower on at the same time...?.......I had the mechanical lift on my 2320 and the dealer tells me the 72" for the cab has the hydro lift......

Can't speak for a 2013 but on both 2008 O/S 3320 and 2007 CAB 3320 the FEL functions were completely independent of the mower lift. There was a separate lever on the curbside beside the 3pth lever.

Do you have the 3rd function option? I just ordered the 72d autoconnect deck and it's my understanding that they'll hook it up via the 3rd function. I stopped by the dealership and they had a 3520 already set up like this.

No clue if it has a third function...... Only has 4 quick connects for the loader....

At a minimum you need something like this:

Third selective control valve

Below is a fancier version:
Electrohydraulic third SCV kit (cab only)

If you ordered the "deluxe cab" it comes standard. Like Cinderschnauzer pointed out, you'll have two additional quick connects on the rear of your tractor. You can always add this if you don't have it. The 3rd function is nice because it's operated right on the joystick with your thumb.

Edit: I just did a quick search and it appears one needs to jump to the 3520/3720 in order to get the deluxe cab option. Looks like a $898.00 dealer installed option...

Thanks....looks like I may add this later down the road if it gets to be a bother to unhook and re-hook the lift cylinder hose.....

I have a delux cab 3520 so I have the toggle swith and remotes in the rear. The deluxe cab isn't offered with the 3320. however, I have a hydraulic toplink hooked up to it. I always had the belly mower lift attached to the loader lift and lower function. I just had a loader installed last week so I will have to disconnect one of the loader lines or remove the loader to mow. The bucket comes off with 2 pins, so will probably just remove the bucket while I mow and use the curl function line for the belly mower. With the bucket detached, the loader shouldn't bleed down on the curl function.

Im thinking of doing the same. I don't want to remove the loader arms because its just too close to the glass for my comfort. Its easy to just drop the bucket and mow. Thats what I did all the time on my 2320......

yeah I noticed the same thing. i said to myself no way in heck am i removing the loader unless i absolutely have to. theres an old thread on here somewhere. ill have to search for it. someone broke their window on their 3x20 tryning to install the loader and there was pictures. its just to close for me
