Just pulled the trigger on the 3320

btw i want to put a plow on mine like you have on yours gun..did you go with the stock front a-frame 3point and adapt your own plow or did you make the whole mount yourself? i havent priced the front lift yet...anyone have any ideas of what it costs (no plow..just the front lift) thanks

JD / Frontier has two FEL mounted blades (AL1672E & AL1684E). I haven't been able to get a price from my dealer, but have seen an ad for a JD 990 on Mutton site that says "add a 72" blade for $1,500" and the picture looks exactly like the AL1672E.

I think the other JD front mount blade is MSRP $2,930 including $1,040 for the A-Frame mount.

I have a 60" front mount power angle blade like the picture below, which I believe will clip onto the front weight bracket of a 3320. I've seen an identical mount on the MF GC2300 and if I recall on some of the smaller Kubota's. It's used for the blade / broom / snowblower. I have to experiment, but essentially the plow bracket requires a mounting surface 13 1/4" wide x 5" high and approx. 1/2" thick. If it does not have to be green / yellow you might get lucky and find a used cheap used one. The blade construction is actually quite sturdy.

Was that $22,150 minus the trade of $12,050!!!!?? You stole that tractor for $22150 anyway with those options ($2K tiller, $3500 mmm, $4k loader)....and if they minus the $12050 trade - you may not be able to sleep tonight. Puts that 3320 at $12,650!! You bought some attachments and gave them your tractor and $600 for a new 3320!! maybe even better because that tiller is closer to $3K than it is $2K I bet!

Thanks, I think I got a pretty good deal and yes it was $22,150 minus the trade of $12,050 for the 3320 with 300cx loader 655 tiller and 72mmm mower. So basically i'm out my tractor and $10,000 for the same setup on the 3320.

I used the JD factory quick hitch hydraulic set-up, and adapted a Meyers 6ft plow blade to it. The JD quick-hitch is $500-$550, the plow blade was free plus the paint and steel for fabrication. I don't believe that the 3320 uses the same mount as the 2520. I think the 3320 uses the 380 plow/hitch which is more in the $2500 range.
When I get my 3320, I already have plans to make an adapter for a Meyers plow to fit the JD front 3pt hitch hydraulic assembly. I think that it will be much cheaper than purchasing the 380.

Another option to consider might be the Frontier Loader-Mount Blade. Available in 72" & 84" wide with manual or power angle. Only a few $$ difference between the two sizes. If you have the Rear SCV the PA can run from there. Suspect pricing in $1,500 - $2,000+ range depending on M or PA or other set up fees and taxes.

I bought a boom blade (72") and added a rubber blade. It is still taking me some getting used to it as I have done a scratch job on my drive a bit before I got the rubber blade, but it does need a coat this year. One issue is the blade keeps dumping over at times, seems that I somehow got it angled improperly
