That would be the MANLY WAY to go.:laughing:
Us ehydro users though would rather have electric leveling jacks such as used on larger rv's.:thumbsup:

FWIW, I have a 3520 PR and I love it. I occasionally drive my neighbor's 4320 with eHydro as well, and I actually like both. The hydro is nice for most tasks, but those that think the hydro is better because it is more precise either haven't spent much time on a PR to actually make that statement or just want to endorse the hydro. Don't get me wrong, I really like the hydro so I am not knocking it. However, I have just as much control and precision with my PR. I load my dump trailer regularly and in order to get a close to center dump, I have to get within an inch or two of the trailer wheels which I can do quickly and accurately with the PR. Haven't hit the trailer yet. 
Now get me on our 820 and holy cow, talk about a 180. I would never attempt to load the trailer that way with it as I know I would hit it.

Jeffster,
I know what you mean about the 820, I like mine in the open but it is no fun in tight quarters.

As Rosanna Rosanna Danna sez.....it's always something!
I read this entire post to see if anyone commented about this remark... I'm guessing very few if any know Rosanna Rosanna Danna. I'm also guessing you and I have both spent many late Saturday Night's with her!!! :laughing:

Gilda Radner...reason nobody posted is because we all knew who she and Rosanna Rosannadana were...well, at least those of us who watched SNL straight (well...sorta straight).
Sheesh...must be a newbie!

I also suggest upgrading to a CX loader.
The 3320 will be fine for what you want to do, power-wise.
The better brush guard, CX loader upgrade, a TNT setup and a canopy would be my suggestions for accessories that will really make a difference.
I have both an eHydro and a geared tractor. I would go with the eHydro.
Pushing the cruse control button is easier than setting the throttle on a geared tractor, so I see no advantage for PR as far as convenience, with row work. The constant PTO speed, regardless of ground speed is a really nice advantage.
You do loose a little bit of power to the hydro, but as stated, you will run out of traction first.
It is really sweet to have when doing loader work
