new 3005 vs 3032e

[Jamming]

Just bought a 3005 a couple months ago, didn't care for the high continuous rpms the Hst transmission needs to be efficient and effective for work, I like to shift and have more control of my engine load and rpms. I found the Hst to be great for fast close quarters work. Also prefer the steel fenders and hood on the 3005. you might want to also consider the stack exhaust also, the lower exhaust blasts in your face when working in the front of the loader. I am very happy with my 3005 and have added rear ridged led lights and a tool box mount, both are posted here on the forum. Good luck !

Roy is right about the quick hitch and the rotary cutter. I worked my rear off one whole summer taking my cutter on and off. The next year I got an I-match and couldn't believe how easy taking the cutter on and off became. Still kicking myself for waiting! I haven't used anything but the I-match but I started with no implements so the I-match made sense to me.

I am building a small landplane in March-April that will fit my x749 and your 2520. You will have to try it out for me and see what you think.

After 40 years of hooking up implements on tractors with non-telescoping links, it is fairly easy. Just be sure everything is level. Of course if you have to drop an implement in the field, come back and have to hook up, then it can be a real pain. Course now that I am older, a quick hitch system may be in order !! These old knees just don't bend the way they used to. If many family members will be using the tractor and implements it may be worth looking into a quick hitch system if it is in your budget. Enjoy !!

I have the Pat's EZ Change, and I like it allot as I have lots of 3 point equipment.....but if you implement changes are infrequent, I think a person can get along OK without. Just get a 3-foot long pry-bar. Instead of lifting and pushing....use the pry-bar to move things about with a little leverage. Works like a charm. :thumbsup:

I would like to see how it works!

I got so tired of changing implements around that I just bought a couple extra tractors.....that was my solution. Cant have too many tractors.....had nine in teh stable at one time but down to 5 now...two older utility Deeres and three Massey 35/135's.....in all they still didn't cost me as much as these new fancy tractors.
