I have about 150 acres of pasture with lots of cedar trees. I want to use my skid steer with a tree shear to cut them and...

    Poor cab heat

    Used my 3720 cab heater for first time tonight. Temp was 45 outside and the heat coming out was not very warm. I thought the heater would be too hot at that outside temp. Also had major condensation inside on the glass. Tractor temp gauge was about 1/3 way to redline. Engine too cool? Anyone...

    68 and 72" buckets

    Looking for help from the NH or Case-IH guys. I have a JD 3720 with 300cx loader and skid steer attachment for the loader bucket. However, the recommended JD bucket for the SS system weighs 485 lbs and I believe just too big and heavy for a loader with 1600 lb lift. My other choices is to use a...

    72" quick tatch bucket

    I have a 3720 JD and 300cx loader with skid steer carrier attachment but no bucket yet. (Currently using my prior kubota bucket.) The 72" quick tatch standard bucket is recommended but I can't find any dimensions other than weight which is 485 lbs. Dealer hasn't been able to find dimensions...

    Electric diverter question

    The electric diverter on my 3720 JD defaults to the rear hydraulic couplers when I start the tractor instead of the loader. Is it possible to have the default to the loader control valve rather than the rear hydraulics? I use the loader more than the rear hydraulics and frequently I move my TNT...

    bolt on cutting edge

    I've noticed some owner's have a bolt on cutting for their FEL bucket. It seems like overkill. I thought they were designed for stopping excessive wear on the cutting edge and could be replaced when worn down. I don't even have one on my Bobcat 873 bucket with 2000 hours. I can't imagine ever...

    tool box for JD cab tractor

    My dealer is prepping a JD 3720 HST w/ cab for me. When I ordered it, I made him throw in a tool box at the end for N/C. It sits just below the rear loader bracket and in front of the cab. The metal bracket that holds the tool box is well made but the tool box is laughable. It is about 12" long...
