New 3320 Cab

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.

Good observation. No, I don't get heckled for my lifts, each serves it's own purpose. My two post is a Rotary 9K Asymmetric and the 4 post is a Pro Park 7S, which I purchased here;Greg Smith Equipment Sales Inc. - The lift professionals with quality automotive equipment at discount prices.

I did the 4 post to allow additional storage for my Mustangs. I also would like to purchase another 4 post for more car's, just not now.

Thanks for the link to the Lifts.

Nuru,

If you were trying to post a picture of some kind it did not work. I would love to see what it is!

Interesting. The other 4 post lift I'm thinking about is the Pro Park 9 Plus. There are actually several companies that sell that exact same lift and they seem willing to negotiate. I have a 20' ceiling height so clearance isn't an issue for me. For what I need, the Pro Park 9 Plus looks like it will fit the bill just fine. Have you been happy with your Pro Park 7s? I think the same lift is now called an 8k lift now.

Here is what my 2 two post lifts are BendPak, Inc. - Two Post Lifts, 12,000 Lbs., Clear-Floor I bought them several years ago and got a "deal" for buying two of them from a place that was going out of business. Fortunately Bend Pak has been great because I got screwed by the now gone dealer. I didn't think I was buying a "scratch and dent" sale but that's what I got. Fortunately the damage was all cosmetic and I ended up doing a bit of body work to my lift posts and repainting them. My lawyers got me an additional $500 off for my time and trouble but it cost me $600 in attorney fees to get that. Oh well, at least I cost the crooked dealer some.

I'd be interested to hear what you think of your Pro Park 4 post lift. I need the extra width and length for my dually pickups to fit on them. They look to be a great buy to me from reading the specs. This company is one of the ones who are willing to sell for about $400 to $500 below Greg Smith and, since I'm in in Indiana I also save on sales tax from some of the other places. http://www.bestbuyautoequipment.com/DIRECT_LIFT_PRO_PARK_9_PLUS_4_post_vehicle_lift_p/propark9.htm I don't know if I caught Greg Smith (the owner) on a bad day or what, but he told me that if I could buy the lift cheaper elsewhere then I should do so when I asked him about matching prices. If you say you like the quality and function of the lift, I just may take his advice.

Sorry to be off the subject, but you can use your lifts to service your new tractor if need be.

Dargo, Nice Bend Pak lift. I don't really have a need for something that heavy duty.

I really like the 4 post, I have not had any issues with it. I purchased the steel storage trays with mine and it came with the plastic drip trays, as well as the jack bridge.

I hadn't thought about using it to service the tractor, but great idea. It would be nice to drain the fluids up in the air rather than laying on my back. I also have a 24 gal. oil drain container, which you can pressurize to drain it into barrels.

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!

Yeah you guys should be fine with that bucket, my 4000 came with a 72" and 84" , the 84" really fits it well, the 72" is barely wider than the wheels when looking at it. The machine is 65" wide in the rear from tread to tread.

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?

Nice!! How big is your shop??

I could handle one of these,

Hi Will,

The shop is 36 x 60, pole building with piers. This is the third shop I have built and each time I change the layout a little to improve use. I think this time it is just right.

That is a nice lift, I just didn't need the 9000 for my use. When I need to put my truck up I use the two post.

I think it must have been really important!

Yep, it was LOL
