Had a 4115, have a 1026R, looking at 2032R or 3320

[Steve_in_SEMich]

I've looked closely at the 2032R and I just don't like the fit. 1026R is comfortable, steering/pedals/levers all seem to be in the right place. 2032R without tilt wheel, seems to be not much more for the money. 3320 seems to be slightly bigger than I want or need, but storage isn't a concern.

Question - any concern about 3320 turbo longevity? I want turf tires on either size tractor, had & have them, like them for working around the house near wife's gardens and lawn.

Most of the work will be loader & 3pt lifting & carrying. Again, the 2032R would be a better fit for task and price, but don't like the way it fits. One dealer has a 2011 3320 with 80 hours for $19,500. 3 different dealers quoted $24-$25,000 with 300CX loader.

All advice appreciated.

For mostly lift and carry work, I think the 3320 would be my choice. The 300CX loader will far out perform the 200CX.

I just traded my 1026R in on a new 3320 Saturday. Very nice machine. I bought mine to be a mower and to rake/ ted hay with. Very heavy duty stuff compared to the 1026R. I got one with the power reverser transmission and I absolutely love it. Very comfortable too. I did not have the tires loaded FYI. I was worried it may tear up my 3 acre yard but it did no different than my 1026R. Has plenty of power. I am sure there are situations where more power would be desirable but for the jobs I have for it, it should be fine. I don't think you'll go wrong with a 3320.

I don't think you will have any trouble with the turbo......I don't think it has one:thumbsup:

Thanks 4 the heads up on the "no turbo" - must have looking at 3520 specs.

I can see going from a 4115 to a 3320 for the 33% increase in power, slightly larger frame, more hydraulic flow, and more weight. What I can't imagine is trading 24hp for 25 hp even with the styling change. I have a 4110 which suits my lawn / garden chores. I also have a TC 55 DA NewHolland with loader and backhoe for the larger rural jobs. Between the two I can cover any task that arises. I try to build some of my attachments ( Loader, bucket, forks, pro lawn vac, and man lift) due to the expense of dealer add ons. Not only does it save money but its fun and entertaining. Also justifies quality tools to make it happen. My goal is not to update within ten year intervals.

Hey Steve,
I'm in the same situation. I really like my 1026R, but want a little more capability. The deere 2000 series are just not refined enough for me yet. I'll either wait until a redesign (unlikely) or shop for something else. I really can't see myself going for the 3000 series, although they are very nice tractors!

I'm going back to look a little harder at the 3320. It has the capacities I want for sure, not sure I can swing the price. With the turf tires, I hope the 3320 would have the same minimal ground impact as I experienced with the 4115 and currently experience with the 1026R.

Winning the lottery would sure make this buying decision a lot easier.

Thanks for the feedback.
