Hi Boyt,

I have a JD3720 and I have never had any trouble with it at all. I have had it about 18 months now and it is still working like brand new. I am extremely satisfied with it.
I guess it really depends on what you plan to do with it.The 3320 is about the same size as my 3720. I think that the biggest difference is the HP.

Have had mine for 4 years no troubles.

Had mine 5.5 years. Replaced the battery and calibrated the throttle position sensor. Fantastic tractor.

Approaching 500 hours. Rock solid so far.

Mine's been pretty dependable, but I'm a bit disappointed in the mud/snow traction of the R4 tires. Tractor wants to "walk" sideways when it moves at all. Diff lock doesn't seem to help. Only actual failure has been the MFWD sensor, which I've read seems to be a not uncommon issue. (Err06). Found out the hard way that there's fine print in the warranty that only gives electrics/electronics a one year warranty. It was an unexpected $400+ dealer repair, that I later found out I could have done myself for $86.

I've had a 3720 since new (2007) and it has been the most reliable and trouble free tractor I've ever owned. Except for HP it is the same as the 3320. It has over 500 hrs on it and had to replace the battery last winter after 6 years.

Pick up mine June 2012 zero problems with it.

2008 model here, the only problem was the tilt steering wheel which would slip out of position when pulled on, a known problem and repaired under warranty. Also the battery at 5 years which is probably just a normal maintenance item but it went quickly when it did which caused me concern thinking I had a major electrical problem. The tractor started normally in the morning and ran fine, then after lunch tried to start it and nothing, just flashing dash lights, jumping it did nothing , just flashing dash lights. Called the dealer and he said he'd seen similar recently and to replace the battery so I did and its started and ran fine since then. My guess is some sort of internal failure in the battery probably caused by vibration.

I've got a 2006 JD3320 with about 500 hours on it. Still has the original battery. No issues other than normal. Great machine.

2007 3520 here with about 280 hours or so. Only repair was a busted loader line (my fault, had something hit it), and the brakes like to get cranky sometimes but that is a quick fix when it happens. Been extremely pleased with this tractor though so no real complaints here.

Check out the review section of the main page. Plenty of opinions on 3320 deeres there.

500 hours of very tough work and not a problem. I did rip off the oil filter working in some thick brush but that was operator error.

I've had my 3320 since 2006. I've been kind of hard on it - I put gasoline in it and had to have one injector replaced - I over-reved it in lowest gear, made the Tachometer needle nonfunctional, and had to replace the dashboard. The only thing I had to do that wasn't owner abuse was to replace the battery when the contents somehow managed ooze out and corrode stuff (I pushed down the caps, but still). Other than that my beloved JD 3320 is a green dream.

1,450 hrs+ and going strong, new Dec '07. Org battery still going good. Also had MFWD sensor replace in early '08 but I was pushing a lot snow at 8,500'.

I've got a 2012 3320 that has a little over 100 hours on it. Mostly loader and backhoe (485) work. It's been great and I've had no problems at all.

Have 06 3520 with cab. Bought 6 years ago with 240 hours. Just under 1000 hours now. Plowing snow, backhoe, tiller, brush hog. No problems, it is excellent. Considering belly mower
