3320 or 3520

[JohnDeere4300]

thinking of upgrading from a kubota bx2350 and was wondering whats the better buy the 3320 has a bigger motor then the 3520, but the 3520 has a turbo what one would you buy? Ive never drove a tractor with a turbo besides a JD 4320 farm tractor.

I thought you already owned a John Deere 3520.

I bought the wheel extensions from Unverferth thru one of their dealers. They are pricey, but worth the extra cost for the added safety. Out of the box the 3520 just wasn't safe on our hills.

Those look the ticket on the 3x20 machines. A recent experience on rental of a 3320 made me wish it had extensions on it as I had a couple pucker moments. It seemed to be overall a good size machine, had plenty of power for typical landscaping tasks, just needed a little better stabilty with a loaded bucket.

I have a 2007 3320 open station. I chose the 3320 because it had a larger displacement engine and I wanted to avoid the added mechanical operation and possible expense of a turbocharger going bad. From reading this forum for the past year, it appears that my fears were unfounded as turbos do not seem to present many problems. However, when operating my tractor I am not the type to run the engine at full throttle but prefer to run in the range of 1800 to 2200 rpm.

As for power, I occasionally pull a mounted plow with two 16" moldboards. Lack of traction rather than enigne power seems to be the limitation; usually plow in 4WD.

I think he's talking about JohnDeere3520. I think he's your cousin. Name's Brandon. He has a red GMC, xcab, diesel, shortbed. This is what I think.

Exactly, that was the one I was talking about. Averaging 7 posts a day, then vanished. Anyway, 3500DIESEL, is he your cousin?

Ordite; I was thinking the same thing, but I bit the bullet and took a chance, no problems, and it is a good unit.
