New Member with a GT3200

[cm5408]

hello forum!!

i have a gt3200 that i purchased a year ago. For starters, I love it!! it is everything that i have wanted in a tractor (60" deck floating on ground not off frame, diff lock, power steering...you know all of the goodies!!).

anyhow for the last year i have been looking at front plow options: cubs option (very expensive but utilizes hydrolics i already have), johnny products electric actuators, and bercomac.

i would love to have the cub setup with the front hitch but as i said, too much money (i lost a bid on ebay at the last second for a complete setup from cub for 352 - worst day). I like the idea of the johnny set up especially if i want to add the bucket at a later day and can use with the deck on, but dont like the idea of adding switches all over the joint. and with shipping, again we are getting over 1k. i think i may go for the bercomac because first price (830 delivered to my door) and it uses the existing hydrolic points that my deck lift uses. (down side must install subframe everytime i want to use it)

so, long story short....who is familure with this plow? is it any good? easy to install?

or, do you have any other recomendations?

thanks

I have had several 3200's and they are great machines. I've put a angle kit on the 3200 and it's a great snow plowing machine. If you shop around you can find a deal on the front blade/hitch. I've seen one for sale on CL in Texas for around 900 for everything but it was all brand new. Don't know about the other options....

That is funny we must have been watching the same auction on Ebay. I am saving up the money to get this New Page 1

I would love to have a little loader on my Cub, and the price is far less then others I have seen.

I have a 3184 I just got and still have my old blade of my 2544 which of course will not work on my 3184. I have tried many ways to get it mount, but without a lot of modification to the blade it will not work. I am trying to sell it right now, but I am not having much luck.

I hope you find a good setup and I will look forward for your results.

thats a pretty neat loader...not sure of its lifting capibilities tho...the rear mounts mount on the steps of the tractor rather than the frame itself, hmm
