JD 4320 Cab Arrived

[kromc5]

We purchase from Jim at Quality Equipment in Roxboro NC, he was extremely helpful and is a no pressure salesmen. Very knowledgeable on all the tractors and implements. His pricing was inline with many other dealers.
Took me quite along time to purchase a tractor and no intention of buying a cab. Looked at all the tractors that were close to me, Kubota, Mahindra, TYM, New Holland. Went to my local JD dealer and looked at the 4105 with loader and 84 rear finish mower. We went back and they had a 4320 with cab we test drove that, my wife said she had to have the cab. I like the cab as well and really like the cruise control. We did add the air ride with I highly recommend. We did have to scrap the front loader to keep payments down but was not necessary for us at the moment. Currently the only need is moving large pine, oak and brush for cutting and burning. We have been very happy so far, the tractor will pull just about anything. Pulled large oak from the woods across my field while it plowed two nice ruts, did require 4 wheel drive with the diff lock to keep from spinning in a few areas, rear tires are not loaded. First day I had it it was 94 degrees had to actually dial the ac down to lowest setting as it cooled so well.

Nice machine. It won't be long - you'll be going back for that loader LOL!

 

[RoyJackson]

Nice machine! Great pics!

I'm gonna echo om21braz...you'll be going back for the loader....less then a year, I'd wager.

Nice looking rig. You'll never regret getting the cab -- trust me. Best of luck with your new machine.

Good choice of tractors:thumbsup: Enjoy your new tractor

You will find that with some weight added the wheel slip will be reduced dramatically. I use six 70# front weights and three 110# rear wheel weights each side.

Steve,
How do you like the rear wheel weights? I think Deere makes two sizes 110# and 150# or something like that. I was wondering if you felt the 110's were good enough? They're expensive.

Kromc5- good luck with the 4320. My friend has a 4xxx series and we just pulled two 50 foot downed maples off the road after a storm.

I think only the 110# weights are for the 4x20. I have 4 on the rear of my 4520 with R1 tires. If I added 3 to each side, the last one would protrude outside the rim an I did not want that. Maybe different with R4 tires.
If you could get 150#s, then I would go with 2 of the bigger ones on each side.

The 110# rear weights are the only ones I am aware of being available for this tractor. No problems with the weights and I use a heavy boxblade and landplane/grader which is a good test. Weights are expensive but so is replacing and handling Rimguard or other products over the life of the tractor.

I'm green with envy. If only my shed door was 1 foot higher ... dreaming

I agree whole heartedly. I have to call my dealer and ask him what weights the 3x20 series take.

Beautiful machine, kromc5.
Congratulations!

Very Nice :thumbsup:

If you don't have the front loader, front weights will help with traction a lot. Get the 70# weights. Some of this comes back to exactly when (note: not _if_) you will get your loader. Its about $500 to get 6 weights, or about 10% the cost of a loader. So if the loader is in the next year or so (and Roy is rarely wrong), then rear wheel weights might make more sense now.

Remember when you're pulling stuff to only use the draw bar.

The 3x20 series with R4s takes a 55# weight for the 20" rims @ $128 each.

The larger, 24" R1 rim takes a starter weight (55#) then a 110# weight at $154 each.

The 4x20 series will take the 110# weights due to larger rims.

To the OP, congrats on a new tractor.

Pete,
I've seen a bar connected between the lift arms called a draw bar too. (I'm thinking you're talking about the draw bar that comes off the tranny in the middle)

Beeaaaauuutiful!! Congrats! (Looks like summer there, too..) Best of luck with your new tractor.

Yeah, I'm talking about the draw bar that comes off the tranny in the middle, and (and this is the key) is below the level of the axel.

Thank you for all the feedback, took a chance and bought a Maschio 3Pt 84 finish mower. Saved about 1600 delta vs frontier 72 inch. So far it mows grass very well but leaves seems to not cut the tall weeds that come up in the grass.
As long is its just thick grass can set the cruise in between 4.5 to 5mph and leaves a nice cut. Hopefully I will be able to pay bills down and get the front loader and backhoe, really would like to get the backhoe first for all the stumps I need to remove for the pond and in the back field.

I doubt your dealer would install a 'hoe unless you have the loader installed.

Yup. as Roy wrote, you'll need the loader installed to use a backhoe for weight distribution and stability. My suggestion is to buy the loader, and rent a mini-excavator for the stump removal.

Nice unit, thanks for the pics.
