Engine heater and Power beyond kit

[om21braz]

On the JDParts site, it lists part # LVB25603 as the Power Beyond Kit for the 2520 - but then it says it is not available thru JDParts. I found another site showing the price to be $ 304.00 - not installed. I can tell you the Power Beyond install on a 4120 took me roughly 3 hrs. - an experienced person can probably cut that to 1-1 1/2hrs.

om21braz thanks for looking that up. I am headed down to the JD dealer tomorrow to talk tractors, and was hoping to have a good idea of what they are worth ahead of time. I was hoping to get the dealer to install it ahead of time.

Thanks again,
smalltown

smalltown,

If you are headed to Hammond in Auburn, I was there today. I don't know about the block heater but on a 3320 they are charging $699 installed for a the additional remote. I bought the used 3320 they had on the lot today.

Just remember that a "remote" as in remote valve is a more expensive part than the "Power Beyond" kit and they serve two different purposes.

Not a bad price for the 3rd SCV on the Cabbed machines..Dunno about the open stations, but the new 3rd SCV is now an electro hydraulic valve setup. Much costlier...the price for the 3rd kit on mine was only in the ~$300 range

Well talked to the dealer today and had a lot of questions and almost forgot to ask about the power beyond and engine heater. So I got a price off the top of his head while walking out the door.

Engine heater about $100, power beyond under $500 installed.

Dealer didn't think I needed the heater as none of the tractors had any problem staring in the winter, but I am leaning toward the heater. I'm thinking that it might save a little engine wear over the long term?

Boy, I don't see many used 3320's around. You grabbed that one in a hurry, eh.??

Good for you. Nice tractor. Best wishes with it's operation.:thumbsup:

IMO It depends on where you park your machine. In a garage I'd say thats a fair statement. If "outdoors" or in something like a Tarp/Canvas garage, I definetly would get it. I know I have it and use it on my 3520 which is currently parked in a "tarp garage".
That being said, I've come home to 18" of snow and didnt want to wait for the block heater to do its thing and the ol 3520 cranked right up every time.

I'm looking forward to it. I would have preferred eHydro for mowing with it but the PR is fine. I wasn't planning on spending this much so spending more for a new one just for HST wasn't worth it to me. I'm used to the PR on my TN75 anyhow.
