Tires Right front tire rubs FEL hoses on 3320

[offroadr]

I just got my new 3320 and noticed that in a hard turn (either direction) the tire rubs the FEL hoses pretty bad (enough to wear the protective sleeve and push it up).

Is this normal? Any easy fixes?

I had the same problem on my new 2520. I got one of those big velcro straps and secured the hose bundle closer to the frame of the tractor, away from the tire. No problems since. Just got to remember to undo the strap before removing the loader.

Not normal, mine has no problem. There is a hose bundle support that is pined to the parking stand (page 25-7 in my 300cx manual). The support holds the hose bundle higher than the front tire. Some time ago, someone else here had the same issue as you. When the dealer installed their 300cx they forgot the hose support.

Nice tractor, now it is time to change your signature deleting "on order".

Perhaps you have solved your problem by now but will relate my experience to you. I recently purchased a 3320 with FEL and noticed the front wheel was rubbing the hoses with a sharp right turn. My hoses have right angle fittings at the quick connects. Whoever installed the loader connected the hoses so that they left the quick connects in a downward direction. I reconnected the hoses in an upward direction, repositioned the hoses somewhat and they now clear the upper portion of the front wheel.

Same issue, 4720, put the hoses behind the hood and solved it just fine. Sounds like a common problem with dealer set up.

Same problem here in that the FEL right angle hose connectors were installed upside down.

You may also wish to check under the tractor that your power steering hoses are not rubbing the front PTO shaft, mine were.
