JD 3720 w/Cab Quotes

I agree as well. The 3720 has a very short wheelbase and narrow track. The wheelbase on the 4520 is 71.5" if I recall. Not long either. I had a 50hp tractor that size and it was a small tractor that was very maneuverable. I currently have a 3320 and I like it around the horse barn but it is rough if I go out in a field. If I get the property I am trying to buy I will go bigger.

I think you should really be looking at 4 cylinder machines. The NH 3040,3045,3050, JD 4000,4120,4320 all are 4 cyl. You should be looking one frame size larger with that acreage.
Good luck.

Guys,

I looked at the 4000 series and the Boomer 3040 2010 model (not the Boomer 40 2011 model). I also made the decision not to go with a cab. While I love the cab, I just do not use the tractor enough to justify the additional cost. It looks like I will be going with the Boomer 3040 (one chassis size up like you said). I was able to trade my 2006 TC34D w/240TL FEL, 918H 71" flail mower (nine years old) and Meteor 68" Snowblower (eight years old) for a new 2010 Boomer 3040 w/250TL FEL (no cab - hydro model - not CVT model), one rear remote, turf tires, 84" Woods PRD8400 and 75" Metoer Snowblower with hydro chute and wings (dealer will make the plate wings for the extra inches of the turf tires) with a $13k difference. Unfortunately, the JD dealer was at $12,780 for the JD 3720 without any implements or added remote and could not come close for a 4120. I real like the JDs and I think they are great tractors, but the deal just was not there. Maybe I can get one next time. Thanks for all the info and help.

When you moved up one frame size, you pick up more hydraulic lift capacity and lift height which is something I really needed. I'm a Hydro guy, I've shifted all the gears I care to in my lifetime. My 3040 is a bull in Range 1 - turtle mode. Having the button on the FEL control grip to jump to Rabbit mode is really nice when you are working a pile of gravel or dirt. I have not complaints on my set up. My tractor is the 2010 model too. Sounds like your dealer really took good care of you as well. I have one rear remote with controls and one rear set of hookups for my Back Hoe. I'm having a second set of Remotes put on for a Hydraulic Top Link, so I can have my Grapple live and working up front and my Top Link active in the back. It's good to hear you stepped up a size, you will need it on your property for tree and field management. It's not easy living in the country but it sure if fun. We'd love to see some photos of your new set up!
