Most hours on 3x20 series?

Wayne_H · Feb 15, 2010

Wonder who has the most hours on a 3x20 series tractor? I looked at a cabbed tractor last weekend... Certainly reaa nice cab, just not sure some of the features were as strong or heavy duty as my older 4400. I'm not bashing anything or anyone's rig, I just wonder if they're holding up as well as we would expect. The lack of zerk fittings on the front steering mechanisms seems odd.

They're Deere. Not to worry.

I have a 2006 3720 with 1624 hours on the clock. Biggest problem has been broken draft links and also went through 3 fuel sending units while on warranty. Front coupler on drive shaft stripped out at about 1000 hrs and was covered under warranty on the powertrain by 3rd year coverage. That would have cost $2300 as the ring and pinion had to be replaced because the splines on the coupler wore down the pinion shaft where it hooks onto before grinding out the coupler. Been averaging 400 hrs a year with a landscaping business. Sorry to ramble so much.
