My 3520 Cab has been used to blow with the front 59" blower two seasons now. There has been times the whole front of the tractor is covered in blown snow. So far no problems like above. A cooling fan coming on would place a high current draw intermittently. The problem seems from the description...

My 3520 Cab since new has sat on "F" for hours of use without budging and then drops over the course of only a further 1-2 hours down to "E" and a low fuel warning light. Then it takes about 10 gallons, so there is still some reserve, (about 1 gallon), left. I have never attempted to keep strict...

Had about 12-14" of snow to clean up yesterday and wanted it moved instead of pushed to the sides. I haven't found many vids of a 3520 Cab with the 59" front mounted blower so made one. John Deere 3520 Blowing Snow

A rear ballast box and a front blower worked for years for me with a 1070. Chainss front and rear.

Ahh, the joys of the open station tractor. I spent years on open station tractors moving snow. I remember the insulated overalls, ski hood, goggles, Mickey Mouse Boots, etc, etc. The snow blowing in your face. The goggles fogging. The sleet. One morning I remember being out on the JD 1070 when...

The pros who plow use a product called Fluid Film by Eureka which is a spray rust proofer and lubricant and is Lanolin based. It helps snow slide off blades, impellers, chutes and keeps grass clippings from sticking to mower decks. It keeps tools from rusting. Once you start using the stuff, you...

This thread provided me with all the info I needed, thanks everyone! I just got the iMatch and needed bushings and the JD stuff was confusing. I went with the TSC bushings (Speedco) because they are one piece and zinc plated. No adapters needed, include roll pins and are available online for...

Chips, I hope you like it, I just got a (truck mounted) spreader for salt with all the freezing rain we have been having and coated that with FF and the back of the truck etc. My shoot on the blower never sticks, which is coated, but it is near vertical in rise. I spray it there mainly to stop...

John's point is very well taken. There is about 876 lb max lift capacity and about 612 lb 59 in lift capacity difference between the 300CX and 400CX loaders in their specs and I would be using it on the 300CX. (see attached spread sheet). I have the materials handling bucket which I think is...

RT Ram, Thanks, I was hoping that was the case. Dirt, I like the curved jaws on the Frontier with the serations for gripping, but I guess the trade off is needing to mod the bucket. I am not particularly good with welding. John, I might be able to live with the compromises, because I can...

Dirt, Thanks, that helped a lot. Is there a quick disconnect located where the FEL hook ups are under the floorboard on the right side to connect the additional lines for the bucket opening? Pics are great. Fortunately, I have some time to gather my thoughts on getting this new bucket. Right...

John, Thanks. It looks like a compromise for sure and I have many times found having something that does a lot of functions poorly is not the best solution. It is definitely an option for me, though, because the materials handling I do is also limited. to a few times a year. It would certainly...

The center link may be installed on the A-frame top in one of two holes, top or bottom, for more or less implement lift. Hope this helps. Karl

John, Thanks. I am also looking into the Long bucket and that seems even a bit heavier and it looks like with the Frontier I'll drop about 200 lbs from my lift capacity if not a bit more. I definitely will want a solenoid remote with a switch on the stick as opposed to using the separate SCV...

Hi All! I have a JD 3520 (cab) with the 300CX FEL and I occasionally need to pull some broken off fence posts, a few stumps here and there and move small amounts of debris. Additionally I more often move materials in a bucket like manure, top soil, gravel etc. I am contemplating getting this...

Toni (cjstr), I haven't tried the Sure Shot-but I bet they would work and save some bucks over getting the small aerosal cans. The aerosals can be had in bulk of 12 or more for about $5.05. [URL="http://www.mcmaster.com/nav/enter.asp?partnum=12055k74"]McMaster Carr The Sure Shot would free...

From the FF Faq's page: I have a gallon of Fluid Filmｮ and want to thin it down. How can I do that? The first recommendation is to thoroughly mix the product. Fluid Filmｮ is thixotropic, and will get heavier upon sitting. Achieving room temperature with the product will help as well. If a...

Mo-Deck bills itself as primarily a non stick coating and doesn't list it's ingredients other than they say it's a "polymer" which covers most things like petroleum products, sugars, vegetable oils, silicon oils, plastics, hair, skin etc. etc. On here, and several of the commercial lawn...

Nice Tractor :) ! My CX300 Manual lists minimum required ballast for 300CX and 3000 Series as three rear wheel weights, fluid filled wheels and 1100lbs 3 Point Hitch ballast box. your Woods mower is listed at 719 lbs without the chains and I'm not sure of where the center of weight is...

I have an extremely long drive, blacktop, with two steep sections which can ice up. I have used a 1070 with front mounted blower and switched last year to a 3520 (cab) which I also run a front blower on. The 1070 had Ag tires and the 3520 has the R4. Up here, we get lake effect snow with average...

I'm in your CNY neck of the woods and my 3520 cab is set, blower mounted. Better pick up 2 cans of the Eureka Fluid Film, it is great as a dielectric spray, spray on antirust and antistick. Works great in your discharge shoot and blower. I'd use the stuff on ice cream, given half a chance...

Neat Info. Thanks. I look forward to the new implements.
