Grading 366 Front Mount Blade - Poly Edge Addition

[JB4310]

Does that cylinder lift the mower? if so then you couldn't have the mower and loader on at the same time? Are those 2 black arms easy to install or should ask is it any hassle switching back and forth from plow to loader? or once you set up the plow your gonna leave it for the winter?

You got alot of questions to answer now, see you can't just post a picture of something interesting and expect to be left alone

The lift cylinder for the Front 3 pt Hitch with "A" frame only lifts the front 3 pt. The MMM has its own lift cylinder.

Yes, in the summer I run the FEL and auto connect MMM at the same time with no issues.

The two lift arms are very easy to install and remove using retaineers and grove pins.

Now shifted to winter operations and the MMM is removed along with the FEL.
(Cannot run the FEL and front 3 pt hitch concurrently)

Had to remove the brush guard as my center link for the front 3 pt was contacting it when fully raised.

Pic of retainer, groove pins and quick lockpin that secure the 3 pt lift arms.

I agree, your pics leave alot out. I'm very interested but I still can't really see too much since your pics are all close up. Do you think you could get a few more pics of the entire system? Maybe some with the blade off so we can see the 3pt mechanism?

Guys:

My original post was focused toward the Poly cutting edge.

I was surprised to see you had to remove the brush guard for the 3 point hitch. On the Deere website they show 3000 series tractors with front mounted attachments with the brush guard on.

Yea, I was surprised too. Lifted the blade and the center link adjustment made contact with the brush guard and scratched it up and bent the small diameter rod welded to the center link. So, off with the brush guard. Not much brush on blacktop driveways/roads in the middle of michigan winters.

Thanks Tony. BTW, kept my Brush Guard on and it really isn't an isdsue, as I can raise the blade up to allow very good clearance.

Same here on the usage of the BG, I bought that BG and it really is being used for looks in my area.

I was told by my local dealership that they were cutting/notching the bottom cross bar/strap of the BG as part of their install.

Stumbled across this JD A-Frame Quick Hitch video
Not much detail but one of the few JD pieces on the front A-Frame Hitch
-Notice the lack of a brush guard in the video-

I've seen the video before but haven't really gotten to see how it works. I could see that being real handy for me. But I use my quad to plow snow and feel it's superior traction is faster for me. I have the deere fel snow plow and
r4's but the traction sucked and I almost wasn't able to get back up my drive.
The front 3pt interest me for the sweeper. My 3320 has mid pto is that what's needed to operate the broom? Alcor do you have any pics of how the hydraulic hoses route?
