3320 Cab or 3520 Cab? - Machine Underground -Tractor & Commercial Equipment Discussion Forum

Wanted to get some opinions here. I am in the process of negotiating a deal on either a 3320 or a 3520 Cab tractors. Originally it was only on the 3320 Cab, but I got a couple of dealers that told me that they had been running into owners that complained about the performance on hot days of the 3320 Cab with AC, and the 72MMM. So i asked the dealer I am working with to give me his best price on a 3520 similarly equipped as I originally wanted the 3320 Cab. so i am waiting till Monday to see what the results of his workings are. The offers sofar are at 10% off of the JD Configurator for the tractor. i put a bug in his ear about giving me more for my trade - 2003 4310, only 86 hours + 2007 300CX Loader and 2007 Frontier 72" Boom mounted blade, and a 72" MMM. So i am keeping my fingers crossed as if he gets close enough

to the original deal, I might jump to the 3520 Cab with the same or at least one of the implements upfront.

So what do you all think?

nuru,

My dealer really tries to steer 3x20 purchasers who want a cab to the 3520 or 3720 for a better match of power to the extra mass and needs. You wouldn't want to get the tractor home and wish you had more power.

That is what it is starting to look like to me too. and I am seriously considering going to the 3520, but I just got to get the price down a bit/. I am also considering getting a flail mower ($1800 - 2200), instead of the MMM to. That would cut down the price. I still might go for the mid-PTO though. So:

3520 with deluxe cab
300cx
trade my 4310 and finance under $10k
get flail mower from another source for $1800 - $2200

another option is to get a deere flail MMM and get the loader later.

Near a deal, dealer has to sharpen the pencil to get the deal. I hope they make up the diff!

Well I pulled the trigger on the 3520 Cab/300CX/small R4s, and bought a flail mower separately. Can't wait to get the unit in to get mowing/brushing/loading, and eventually snow plowing - all in the comfort of the cab!

Thats great news ! congrats! what did you do with the 4310?

I traded it in on the 3520. They gave me enough to do it. I know i probably could have gotten more for it, maybe $2 - 3k, but i wanted to pull the trigger soon, so I did it.
