New 3320 Cab

[scodemike]

Here are a few pictures of my New 3320 Cab that I picked up last Thursday. Since that time I dropped it Friday at my local dealer and they installed the rear work lights and rear wiper kit. The dealer I purchased it from did not have those items in stock. Also on Monday I had the rear tires filled with CC, came to $292 for 80 gallons and the trip charge to do it at my house.

A few items of note, the rear tires are 43x16-20, the larger size. The tractor is suppose to come with the stock 61" front bucket, for some reason mine has the 73" bucket. I guess that is a good thing.

We had a little snow this morning so I got to play. That heater sure is nice compared to freezing. I did notice that I may have a problem. When raising the loader, when it gets to about eye level it starts to feel jerky, fluid levels are fine. Any ideas?

I had a few hydro problems wiht mine for the first 5 hours. My three point would drop and jerk up. But it all went away. All I could guess is that there was particles in the fluid and it took them a little to find the filter.

The problem you have in not normal. Might be good to report it to the dealer, but give it a little and see what happens before your dealer tears into it.

Nice tractor, Im sure you will love it.

Well, if you have not used the loader much, and it was just installed last week...I would suspect air in the cylinders. Try cycling the loader and the bucket through the full range of motion several times, and leaving the joystick pushed for just a second each time the curl or lift reaches the end of it's travel.

Thanks Kennyd, I will try that.

Is it too late to get the Heavy Duty 73" Bucket? The light bucket is really flimsy...
But you will love your tractor....

NICE tractor and nice garage! I just bought one too. I've had mine a couple weeks or so.... time flies so I don't remember. Rear wiper and Lights are enjoyed on mine! It also does that jerky motion with loader but now I have some hours on it has calmed down for most part. Only when I start it and raise the loader does it seem to do it. Not sure what the deal is - I haven't really given it any hard loader use yet - like moving a bunch of snow..... we'll see....

Yes, it is too late. I purchased the tractor from a Dealer in Iowa, I live in Colorado. The bucket seems fine to me, but I am no expert.

Thanks for the comments on the tractor and garage, I love having both. My jerky motion seems to be much better, if not at all, if I pull the stick all the way back for lift. I did try kennyd's suggestion, but it made no difference.

scodemike congrats on your purchase.I have the 73" bucket too so I am having fun with the larger capacity. It works fine for me!

Sweet tractor that seems to be sized just right for you. I sure love my cabs! I gotta make another comment though. I see that you too have multiple lifts. Do you get heckled for that? I have 2 two post Bend Pak lifts and one 8' tall four post Bend Pak lift. What's worse is I'd like to get another 4 post lift to store another collector car on so it's out of the way and won't get bumped or scratched. I think there are some other brands who make really nice 4 post lifts that cost a lot less. What brand is yours? Would you recommend it? I think my 4 post is only rated at 9k. I didn't see any reason to go heavier.
