[RICHARD SMALLSPLUMBER]

Any performance problems 3320? They tell me it will be as good as my 4300?? I have gang mowers and the new weighs 500 pounds less with narrow tires!
Any help there??

The 3320 has been a reliable and dependable tractor.

 

[RICHARD SMALLSPLUMBER]

DO YOU KNOW THE 4300??

 

[elroy4455]

The 4300 was a good tractor as well. What transmission do you have in the 4300?

 

[RICHARD SMALLSPLUMBER]

HYDROSTATIC AND 4,165 HOURS ON IT WITH NO PROBLEMS! MOWS A LOT OF GRASS. I PULL 5 GANG MOWERS WITH IT AND I PRAY THE NEW ONE CAN. IT IS 500 POUNDS LIGHTER YA KNOW.

Whether is is "as good as a 4300" would depend what you use it for. You are going down a frame size class. This may be good or bad, depending on your situation. I certainly would not expect a 3320 and a 4300 to be equivalent tractors.

I think you're thinking of the new 4x20 series machines. The 4300 was sold about 10 years ago.
Power, size and weight, it is very similar to the 3320.

Both the 4300 and 3320 weigh in at 2900 lbs (no loader). Where did you get that 500 lbs less weight figure?

I probably was confused. I thought the 4300 was the bottom end, in the size range that includes my 4600. JD's older 4000 series models are confusing, compared with the more current progression of 1000's, 2000's, 3000's, 4000's, etc. I think I have one of the brochures on the older 4000's. I guess I'll pull it out and try to re-educate myself a bit.

I GOT THE WEIGHT OFF LINE. I AM GOING TO LOOK AT THE NEW ONE SATURDAY AND HOPE I AM NOT DISAPOINTED!!
