New 3720 pics and question

[StoneCrab]

Here is my new 3720 just after delivery. It has eHydro, air seat, wide R4s, 300CX with skid steer carrier, 5' rotary cutter, 72" quick attach drive over belly mower, 72" heavy bucket, 3rd function hydraulics, and the EA root grapple. I've only had about an hour to play with it so it still feels very new! I read the owners manual and have a few questions.

What is the function of the switch shown in the 4th picture below, under the turn signals to the left of the steering column? It does nothing that I can figure out and is not referenced in the manual that I can find.

Also, the MotionMatch switch appears to do nothing at all, I wonder if it isn't connected or setup right. Is there a procedure to enable the MotionMatch switch versus the setting in the control panel (they are different)?

cruise control switch

Nope, that's on the right side switch panel, along with accel/decel, motionmatch, and 3rd function toggle switch. Cruise works normally whether this switch is on or off.

Forgot to say, awesome machine you got there! Congratulations. You will like the ehydro and the switch for the 3rd scv while running the grapple. Left hand never leaves the wheel, right foot does your forward and back with precise control and no fatigue. Right hand runs the loader and grapple at the same time and your left foot can add a little brake now and again to keep it pointed where you want it.

Thanks! I'm trying to learn everything on it but it is a huge step up from my old 2305. My son likes it too!

does that load match feature keep your rpms steady? say you are at 2000 rpms climbing a hill and you mash the forward pedal to full speed, will it hold 2000 rpms exactly and just slow the drive speed. if not, what does it do

That's what it will try and do. You really notice it running something on the pto. Say you are mowing along foot to the floor and hit some really thick grass, tractor will slow down but not bog down, as the load on the pto decreases it resumes speed.

I have both load match and motion match on my 3720 cab. But I can't say as there's much noticeable difference between having either/both on or off.
