Do you have a 3x20 or 4x20 Tractor? If so, Please Help!

2009 JD3720 with an RC2060 cutter and BB2060 boxblade. Also 300CX FEL with 35 hours. The only problem I had was the ROPS pins would not install/uninstall smoothly unless I took a hammer and pin to them. The dealer came out and corrected it to my satisfaction.

With 11 posts thus far, a quick summary of issues seems to be most issues are with less then 50 hours and have been dealer setup or factory oversights.

I havent seen any "design" issues thus far....well, maybe except for the Cab Roof seal...they could have used a better roof seal material.

2008 JD 3320 approx 140 hours.

At approx 70 hours dealer had to replace dash cluster due to erratic Tach operation. Actual problem was not electronic but mechanical. When hot - weather and tractor, the red plastic center on the needle touched the inside of the plastic cover preventing the needle from tracking properly.

Dealer had to adjust Rock Shaft for proper disengagement of BH same time as Tach problem. Dealer did mobile service rather than haul to shop.

Recently noticed the right turn signal does not engage - dust? - lack of use - have not diagnosed or repaired yet. Few drops per month of leak from one of the BH fittings. Otherwise solid performance - extremely happy with everything.

During summer of 2009, unknown person sat in seat with something (screwdriver???) in pocket and put tear in seat - probably can't blame that one on JD.

Dealer called about 2 months before warranty expired to remind me and to ask if any outstanding issues & if so get them fixed before expiry.

2009 3520 with cab. 300cx Loader. 93 hrs.

Mods - Installed a hydraulic 3pt top link (18 inches retracted). Also, installed a toggle switch on the right control panel to operate an external 12 volt dc power source for electric sprayer. I am extremely pleased with both features.

Problems/Dislikes -

1. Steering wheel squeaks when turning.
2. The 3 pt. lift, PTO selector, and hydraulic control handle assembly is not designed very well. There is a lot of loose play in the handles movement. Also, the 3 pt. depth adjustment knob on this assembly is not very sturdy.
3. Hydraulic flow is jerky when raising the loader. Also it takes almost a minute to raise the front end of the tractor with the loader for removal. Carried it back to the dealer at 32 hours thinking there was a problem and they couldn't find anything wrong.
4. Fuel gauge reads full until diesel level in tank drops to around two thirds full.
5. Radio antenna is located in the roof of the cab and provides poor reception.
6. Would be nice if the rear wheels (R4) had more width adjustment. I only gained about 3 inches overall width by swapping the tires. Tractor is not as sturdy on inclines as I would like for it to be.
7. Engine air filter is somewhat aggravating to remove for cleaning or replacing.
8. Air conditioning is not as cold as I expected it to be in the middle of the summer.

Overall, I am pleased with the tractor. I upgraded from a 2003 4310 with power reverser. Since I do a lot of mowing, the hydrostatic transmission is really nice and I use the cruise feature a lot. The cab is really quiet and comfortable.

2010 3520 cab, 203hrs. Steering squeeked during first 50hrs but magically quit. AC is nice and cool on these very hot humid days while mowing. I agree that the 3ph lever stop is poorly designed and simply don't use it. I did put a hyd top link on it which was the best addition ever made to a tractor. Overall am happy with the quality and ease of use.

I have a 2010 3720 cab with 300cx fel 51 hours. No problems yet, love the tractor having a/c is great. I added 6 inch wheel spacers. What a difference, can't wait for snow!

That is NOT right, there IS something wrong...

Yep... First place to look at fixing the problem is the dealer! I wouldn't let him work on my push mower!

2007 3520 with 300cx, PR tranny. Installed forward and reverse work lights but other than that it is stock. Have 169 hours on it and love it. I hate the R4s when it rains here as they muck up really bad, so sometimes I wish I would have went with R1s, but then again, there are times that the R4s are the right tire for what I am doing. So, maybe I need to buy a second tractor.
