3520 VS. 3720

Newbie here, hi everyone

I need to get a technical service manual for the 3720 on paper for a friend. TM2365 is the actual manual but where would I find it for a good deal? Did quite for few searches online but didn't come up with much.

Hi I have bought 3 JD machines 2 of which were new from a JD dealer. I would get hold of the folks who sold the machine to your friend. If no luck I would bite the bullet and order one from the dealer, not too likely you or he will find an after market owners manual. Bottom line if someone is not going to make some profit on an aftermarket what ever, then you end up dealing with the dealer. Good thing with the dealer, or manufacture you get the complete and accurate information.

Another way to look at this is to compare the final price of each model # in the series of tractor you are looking at 3000 or 4000 or what ever series. Take the HP divide that HP into final price. What I found when I bought was that I paid less per HP with the 3720 than the other 3 models in this series. I have also found that if the rear wheels spin then it is time to engage the 4x4 you will have a hard time spinning wheels now. I do a lot of loader work and It's just automatic for me to engage the 4x4. I have a backhoe on the machine that is on there for all the loader work, I need the weight for traction and balance. It is 900 pounds back there, I have factory cab and I still want to get the rear wheels loaded, I have a 19 KW generator which runs off rear PTO which if running to full capacity needs 34 HP, Wood chipper same HP needed for the wood size I can chip. Water pump 150 gallons per minute all these need the HP of the 3720. We all have our own needs for the equipment we buy, do your home work before you buy anything, there are so many options of what the machine will be used for. My only mistake back in 2007 was I bought an open station 3720, I now have a 2013 3720 with cab...sure wish I had done a better job with the home work...Mom always told me to do it....I put 1100 hours on the open station and now have 400 on the cab machine...Yes sure is nice in the cab for so many reasons..
