New JD 3520 photos

[aigeezer]

My new JD 3520 arrived yesterday. I'll add more photos as time permits.

If you want to see a picture of any particular detail, just ask. I found I couldn't find enough pictures when I was researching what to buy - there was always something I wondered about just out of camera range.

Love the cab and the wrap around grille guard. Color is great too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like building attachments and metal projects. When it comes to tractors I just have to have a couple new ones to stare at. I might have to take a closer look at the new Deere's. Enjoy !

the wrap around grille guard

Thanks, Agent Blue. I just happen to have a photo highlighting the grille guard.

It's my first cab tractor - whole different experience ahead, I guess. It even has a "new car (tractor) smell" in the cab and mouse fur on the headliner - they've come a long way from Waterloo Boy.

I got iMatch and the top'n'tilt package after 14 years of wrestling with implements that needed manual hookup on my little JD755.

Today I spent some pleasant hours fiddling and learning how to use iMatch on a stiff new MX5 cutter. The job should have taken a minute or three, but it eventually involved a crowbar. It will be great once the clearances loosen up a bit. I tried it later on the new box blade and things went much more smoothly. The MX5 is far heavier than the LX4 cutter it replaces, as expected.

Photos attached of the cutter and box blade - shiny green, and not a mark on them yet. Oh, the driveshaft resting on the box blade belongs with the cutter - it just happened to be there when the picture was taken.

It's a beauty and I'm sure that you'll love it.

Thanks, guys - looks like I'll be in good company.

I had mixed feelings losing my JD 755. It served me well for 14 years. The 3520 is in a new league for me.

Here's a photo of the old and new together.

Aigeezer,

Nice rig there! How do you like your I-Match system so far? I have been thinking about getting one. I have looked at them, but was wondering if you have to buy the bushing kit for each implement that you want to use?.

I know you didn't ask me, but for me it is great. I regularly switch between implements and prior to having the iMatch it could be a lot of work. It is so quick and easy now. Well worth the money. They are actually fairly cheap. That's my opinion for what it's worth. And yes, you do need a bushing set for each implement. Their not much more than $8 a set.
