Hi guys I just bought a 2001 JD F-1435 with 72 inch side discharge deck. I thought machine looked clean in pictures and I have wanted one of these for awhile now but could never find one in my price range. The dealer said it was municipality owned and the maintenance records were excellent. high...

Just an update before this winter had my local JD dealer take the machine and trouble shoot they found a bad ground on the wiring harness hidden under all the side paneling I would never have found it. This fixed the problem finally and the SCV worked perfect all winter long :)

Ok thanks everyone I feel a little better not going to rush the tractor into John Deere so they can split her apart and have a look :0 but I did engage the 4 wheel drive once when I was moving slow by mistake and not stopped and it seemed like it acted up a little more then it ever did before...

Yes sorry Greg range selector. I use it when I have to leave the road and drive over curbs into rough terrain for rough cutting development lots. Going from C for highway use to B and 4 wheel engaged, then returning to road and trying to disengage 4 wheel and return range selector to c position...

Only the Kioti's need the fire extinquisher and a spare oil pump in the tool box....lol Kidding just kidding ...;)

Hi Greg I have 140 hours on my machine now and unfourtunately many of them are rough cutting some pretty nasty lots, I always take my time and try and keep the machine clean. However recently I have been noticing that when I go to shift my shifter lever is stuck, I really have to give it a good...

You most likely hit the forward and reverse pedal at the same time even for a split second the machine did what it was supposed to do I think your machine is ok! If you were in hurry this is easy enough to do I have done it myself and wondered what the heck was going on thought my new tractor...

Ok this makes sense I was doing some loader work but I had the 72 inch rotary cutter on the rear. There were hills of debris and cement I was moving to make the area easier to cut in the future. After dropping a load in my pile the steering felt like it was resisting I had to fight the wheel to...

Hey Sunny I did not read this entire thread but today well doing tractor loader work there were times that my power steering felt like it stopped working completly even with an empty bucket and not in 4 wheel drive. I will check the fluid in the morning also can a rubbing line cause this maybe?

HI Greg are you just using spacers on the rear wheels or on all four also I was not aware there were motosport spacers?

I also had the same problem the lines will tuck up along the flat loader support with big heavy plastic ties. Just have to watch that the braided cloth does not rub on the side of your hood I did end up getting a very small black spot where it rubbed some paint off of the hood , have it secured...

No spacers just the rear tires flipped and I am getting used to feeling of the tractor to know when I am really in trouble or my body is sensing I am in trouble when I am not at first I thought the tractor was really tippy but now that I am more used to it seems fairly stable however I think you...

ok I will check thought that was just an overflow tank but I will take a look good eye DS thanks!

Is it normal for the dryer to get very hot? Wow you guys were not kidding I had already cleaned it when I pulled the battery, thank you for all the help got to love this forum!

Congrats on your order you will be thrilled :)

the cutter is the frontier 72 inch cutter I would not go with a 60 myself the time you save with the 72 is so nice, the frontier mower is a little lighter duty not as heavy plated steel as a few of the other available from Deere but the good thing is if your financing with the 0 percent interest...

Wow I am having this very problem and I have been doing lots of cutting lately so I cleaned out the condenser and that screen today with just a hose at regular pressure was afraid to blast it with a powerwasher and bend fins also cleaned airfilter several times might be time for a new one. I...

Ok everyone so I was having a boring sunday and had a several acre field to cut so I figured I should get it done, life is good when you can make work fun hope you all enjoy my little video John Deere 3720 rough cutting DP Property Maintenance - YouTube David DP Property Maintenance...

Hi Jason just wanted to share this with you appears mcgrails farm in chatham has another 935 with the 72" side discharge deck. I am not buying anything right now but machine also looks clean have a look 2000 John Deere F935 w/60 Lawn & Garden and Commercial Mowing - John Deere MachineFinder

No it was not always there not like it is now, I am going to investigate further keep me posted. we just put on the scv front end loader kit so some lines were retied tighter to the frame this might be something to look at!

Hi Guys just wondering if cab vibration at about 2300-2500 RPM with a 3720 is normal? I just don't remember hearing as much vibration sounds like it might be coming from the cieling or maybe just the hood vibrating behind the dash. Not sure yet but seems like more then I ever noticed before. I...

Hi Mith that is the biggest shelterlogic I could find I think it is like 24 feet long and 12 high (guessing but somewhere around there) it cost about $850.00 I think. It has been ok but only had it for one year and some of the seams on the end covers have ripped in one area where they rub...

Yes Sir so far I have managed to keep a one man operation going for 11 years and the equipment has helped get noticed and appointed contract work for my township and some local development companies. On another note my wife says if I buy anything else Im dead :laughing:

Feel like playing with something green today , I also have some orange stashed around the corner ;) I just tell the neighbours it's all for yardwork:thumbsup:

I appreciate all the input here just makes you wonder :D

Seriously boys I have seen this add on the net for awhile now and I just can't help but ask what in the heck could have ever done this kind of damage to a 3720? unbelievable! Salvage JOHN DEERE 3720 2009 - WEST MIFFLIN,PA,15122,USA | Used Cars For Sale

Hey Kuboman have not been here for awhile did you get the shifting issue sorted out with your gator? If your still wondering about the front strut upgrade I will get a picture for you of the front end this week. I was just here reading about the new gator and how much the guys seem to like it...

ok talked to the dealer there was a bad batch of solenoids that would stick. I just got in from another small snow storm and my helper was running the tractor and after an hour of use it stopped working again and we could not get the blade to angle for the rest of the storm. (it was stuck) I...

Probably smart never mess with pretend it's not there..lol . Thanks I will check it out one more time then be done with it :confused2:

How do you lock the joystick it does not seem to lock it at all when I pull it out or push it in? does the tractor have to be off to do this? does it lock the loader in float position or something? regen feature I read about that in the manual but that little lever does not move like the manual...

I notice lots of them on John Deere machine finder with lots of rust front fenders and side area and rear panels look banged up and damaged on many. There is one in Alberta rite now that does not look to bad. 2008 John Deere 1445 Lawn & Garden and Commercial Mowing - John Deere MachineFinder I...

Thanks again Jason I know these models with the hard cabs are in the 20 grand range seems like lots of money to spend. I do have the 2010 XUV gator loaded with all the toys. Canopy, windshield, extra lights, speaker bar and alpine stereo system. It is lots of fun but don't use it that much might...

Ok Thanks again Greg I did put up some pictures but maybe you can't see them. I do have the air ride seat installed I will send the pictures to the dealer and see if he can identify what the plug is for.

Anybody use a 1435-two or 1535 JD front mount mower with a cab? do they put a/c in these mowers? do users enjoy these models? are they popular and reliable? Is the 72 Inch side discharge the best deck for these machines? what is the difference between the 1435-two and 1535 series? I have an...

Ok Thanks Greg was just playing with it again this morning and doing some maintenance checks and now it is working. I don't understand the joystick lever lock it says it has 3 positions in the manual yet it feels like you can push it in once or pull it out. My loader control does not lock in...

I have the optional rear scv installed in my 2011 3720. There is a three way switch on the right control panel to select the functions. I push it forward and the rear valves open and control the snow plow angle left and right. The last snow storm the angle left and right failed and stopped...

Hey Thanks Jason I have really been happy with Huron and have found them so much more enjoyable to deal with then McGrails. The atmosphere is entirely different and the staff and sales people are so freindly to deal with your absolutely rite. This is a good write up to see and the fact that you...

Wow I guess these are not popular machines maybe they belong burried with the dinasaurs :(

Sounds good John Deere says 1.5 hrs labor for there tecs is a rule of thumb so if they get 1.5 hrs I am sure I can do it in 3 :D

Yea I already have two very long lines running from the back to the snow plow in the front- I don't like it this way I want the hardlines. The 3rd control is factory installed when you get the secondary scv installed at the factory they put the different loader control in the op station with the...

lol yea I don't know if I would say something like that to compare machinery..lol

Hi Guys any of you have any experience with a John Deere F-925? I found this one online at a dealer I do trust he says it is clean was a trade that came in last October. 1998 35 hp deisel 600 hours and 60 " deck- $5700.00? Huron Tractor - Your full service equipment dealership! Those hours...

Hi Tiny I am looking at a F925 1998 with 600 hours on a 35 hp deisel motor and a 60 inch deck asking $5700.00 at the dealer. Machine looks very clean and low hours seriously thinking about picking it up as a second machine to my small fleet. I cut about 10 acres a week I would say. Currently...

Hey this looks great, so the rear scv plugs still stay as plugs but you plug into them and then the lines have a connetor that connects them into hardline? Thanks for the pictures awsome, I am going to order this kit shortly. David

Hi Just wondered if any of you have installed the hardline kit to bring plugs for the scv on the rear of the 3720 to the front where the other loader plugs are. The labor quote I got from John deere was really high and I found out JD gives there tecs about 1.5 hours to do the job. Anyone have...

I am lucky now I have a friend with his own shop who is an excellent Ford mechanic, if you have to depend on the dealer solely to sort out these problems then at there mercy for money with no warranty I would then stay away from these trucks.

I can only say the same I really like the 3720 and also considered the cost difference in the implements for the 4000 series is much more expensive.

Lucky guy! :thumbsup:

It has been all season in South Western Ontario with NO SNOW we got about 1/2" yesterday and so I scraped a little with the 3720 talk about pathedic just to try the new toy. Thank god for salt contracts and the few that pay with or without snow..this year has been strange. Hoping for at least 4...

Yes she was lucky that she is financially in good shape but she wanted to save them to pass down to her grandkids. That's the stock market I guess but the new company should have done something for all those that had shares that became worthless.

Thanks she's good all her eggs were not in one basket as they say ;) but the stock certificates might look good if I frame them one day..lol

I hear you Crazyal my mother had stocks passed down from her father in the 1940's that were worth a small fortune now there not worth the paper they are printed on. She is an older lady and did not believe that what happed could happen and refused to sell them for peanuts.

Ok guys I thought I was being funny when I was overtired..lol sorry :p

I think your rite Sunny with all that weight I don't think chains are neccesary at all and I would never use them on a customers parkinglot..unless I wanted to pay a big bill in the spring for damage ;)

Can you move the shifter at all?

I hear you I was a little taken a back but they spent some time in the shop trying to figure out what they were doing I guess that it what I was paying for and bronze fittings that were over $50.00 each times 4 :confused2: I did ok on the tractor I think but there always going to get you...

when I go to engage the lifters on the dome panels the periscope lifter keeps sticking> any suggestions? :laughing: Kidding fellas this is one of my other hobbies when I am not working or playing with tractors. Full scale screen accurate for A New Hope R2D2 going to be fully remote control...

Got it will be a future upgrade for sure for now going to use the two long lines that the dealer charged me 340.00 dollars to make..I could have got the kit for that kind of money but they never told me about it :confused:

Ok I got you now so really it does the same thing I am doing with my super long lines running from the rear now but much neater and permanent. I will look into it in the future. Now have to play a little catch up on my JD account with the wheel weights and the imatch those guys nailed me good..lol

Now I am really not sure a little confused here I have the two 1/2 valves on the back and yes in the middle. Do you mean there is a hardline that might be on the loader already that I just have to buy the quick connector for or does it have to be plugged into the rear valves and rerouted to the...

I think you get about 4 more inches in the clearance between the top side of the front tire and the inside of the front fender it becomes the same as your rear tire clearence. Stock the Gator sits a little low in the front you can tell if you look at your machine and the front sits lower then...

Not a toy I use mine for jobs all the time and I am commercial business. The 850D gets me back into the thick of things when I need to do bylaw weed control, the 850 cuts my man hour time in half or more, it hauls garbage out of my empty lots that I maintain, It moves leaves into the dump...

Good thinking never mind the previous owner the factory had mine on so tight I was cursing.

Not a lot of room to work with in there but I am so glad I got the 850 deisel model seems to be much more issues with the gas model the 850 is well worth the price . I did the front strut upgrade added the roof and windshield and an alpine stereo system with a speaker bar- this machine has been...

I am with Jessie on this one same I had to go purchase the metal cup puller the other style was impossible. The first oil change from tha factory was a pain the factory had the oil filter really tight and the only way to get it off was to go out and buy that style with a small ratchet.

this does not sound normal the only time that happens to me is if I am climbing a hill and roll backwards a little. If I don't stop the machine completely first before giving it some throttle she will grind but in neutral I don't know why that is happening? a cable linkage adjustment maybe>?

I am not sure how a third scv would operate on the front but it sure would be nice. I have a switch inside the cab to open up the rear scv or close it or run it at the same time with the loader. Is this something that could be set up with a third control valve? interesting I like the idea. The...

True enough trying to get this all sorted out as when you get the blade from Horst they send you no lines nothing to work with. I like the idea of a kit to run a hard line to the front. I think they should have put the spare remotes somewhere on the front and not just the back it would have made...

Thanks JB for the ideas I am going to set up some quick disconnects off of the blade itself and have since moved the lines around a little on the hood guard so the loader can go higher but there is really no reason to have the plow able to go almost 90 degrees vertical over the hood IMHO. The...

Bonked in the head > man be careful fellow tractor enthusiast :D I hope so I was also hoping it could save a stone from hitting the rear window on the cab and costing me big dollars to repair. The chains were about $300.00 dollars but I got a better price since I bought the tractor from same...

When I got my 72 " Frontier rotary cutter from my dealer it had the rubber belt front guard. I noticed this rite away and was not very happy about it as the cutter I ordered in all the pictures had the chain guard. The dealer gave me some excuse like we were trying to keep the cost down to give...

Nice idea on the rudder set up , I am glad to hear the 3000 cx loader can handle the 84" blade. This is one heavy duty blade I hit some bumps today and the loader was really bouncing around made me a little nervous don't want to damage the loader. I thought about the 84" blade but have had such...

Ok had a couple of questions on the button or third function on the loader control. I have been told not all 3000 series tractors have this button on the controls. I think the reason is it has to have the rear SCV factory installed at time of order to get this extra control on the loader handle...

Thanks :) not for my driveway it is the last thing that gets done after all the plowing contracts. I pull in half asleep and backdrag a spot with the truck and park. The tractor will be stationed in my downtown area at another property so I can jump out of the truck and into the tractor for some...

Had to move the blade out of the driveway today, I did not want any trick or treaters to get hurt or stumble into it in the dark. It looks pretty mean on the loader I like it :D

Thanks Matt I just use tractor plowing for some smaller properties with little parking lots and parked cars where it gets to tight with my F350 crew cab. I can't go back and change my past decision now I was looking at my 62 inch 1000 series blade that I have used on the kubota 7510 for about...

Nope on any extra cost the dealer just tells Horst they want a 3000 series blade for 300 cx loader and thats how it comes, those Amish guys do great work!

Hey Matt I have the regular turf tires not the big baloony ones and the dealer is telling me they are really good in the snow. I have never run chains on my kubota 7510B with the 60 inch horst blade and never had a problem in 4 x 4. I keep thinking bigger and bigger the 3720 is looking to small...

Thank You :D

2600.00 plus tax I have about 2900.00 into it

Thank you I also love the quick attach feature my other one for the kubota is a pain have to pull loader pins and cotter pins to hook that one up :mad:

I have the rear ballast box full of cement must be at least 500 pounds and about 650 pounds of wheel weights on the rear I am good :D

Good point I thought things through before I ordered the 72 inch blade I have a 60 inch horst blade for my kubota 7510 and I always have done very well with it for my smaller lots so this is still an upgrade for me.

Not yet Roy I had it attached to remove it from the trailer but never had the lines hooked up yet. I wanted to get some pipe dope to hook up the lines (nice and long to go to the rear remotes) that JD made up for me. They told me not to use teflon tape- but to be honest I had always used teflon...

I am with Chris on this one I think the 6.0 is a good motor just needed a few things sorted out. Mine runs beautiful now!

I really love my 2006 F350 crew cab 6.0 but I have had some issues however Ford made good and took care of them all under warranty. check any maintenance records if you find one of these. One the oil pans leak in front of the rear main seal common on all of the 05 and 06 models they had a bad...

Thank You Sir :D you have a nice selection of equipment in your weaponry also!

I picked up my new snow blade for the 3720 on Friday. Part of me wishes I would have ordered the 82 " instead of the 72 " and I did see about changing the order but It would have put me well into Christmas had I changed my order. Horst is very busy with back orders and there snow blades are like...

I ran into the same problem as you, lots of rags and clean up after I was done the maintenance.

Happy now dude agree with you sometimes moving heavy attachments to try and line up 3 pt hitches and jumping in and out of the seat can be a pain in the ***.

I put 8 maybe close to 9 bags of quick cement in mine and I am guessing it is about 500 lbs or a little more. I was told that if you fill it with cement over sand it adds an extra 100 lbs to your ballast.

I made some progress today Jenkinsph thanks for the encouragement :D

Thanks again to all you guys this forum is priceless for getting help. I went to TSC they had none so I tried princess auto and they had 3 sets the problem was only one set had the roll pins the other two sets were missing the roll pins. I purchased the complete set and brought another set up to...

354.00 canadian plus 13 percent sales tax we really take a pounding here in the windsor, Essex county area for prices. I had to go two hours out of town to get a decent deal on the tractor.

Ok I will check it out, I actually got my machine from Huron in Thamesford , Ontario, was a better price. The quick attach was $354.00 plus tax that is why I hate buying too much in this end of town always top dollar.

I am having a problem just picked this thing up this morning and they gave me two bushings with it. The problem is the pins on the JD ballast box are not quite long enough. I can't clamp her down and I had to file the pins down on a grinder just to get them in the holes. Not sure if your bushing...

I just ordered the quick attachment for the 3 point hitch for the 3720. How does it work and do I need to change the pins on my implements to work with it? I can't tell from this picture I found but it looks like the pins are different to match the quick attach>? does the quick attach come with...

Thanks Brin I was beating the crap out of my little kubota open station 7510 and a 48 inch second hand cutter. I will let you know if I feel the same about this tractor in 5 years when it's paid off. I did get my first experiance of the puker feeling (is that what the guys called it here when...

Do you have wheel extenders on your 3320 I love the width you have on the rear outside the fender?

I have another question for you I am not seeing it my manual but everytime I start to read my manual I am in bed exhausted and fall asleep. Have you tightend the cab bolts and were are they? I see big bolts under the rubber matt in the cab I am thinking those are them. Then there is all sorts of...

RockGod you need a Horst 4000 loader blade for your machine when I get my 3000 blade in I will do some videos for you.

Why are your filters getting bad so fast? are you doing a lot of rotary cutting in dry dusty conditions? how many hours on average have you been changing the air filter at? thanks.

Yes sir John Deere sales pitch about being the quietest cabs in there class I think must be true. There pressurized like and airplane kind of. You can sit in the cab with the doors closed and have someone yelling at you rite up to the glass and you can't hear them...:D For safety that means you...

Did yours come with the chains or are you thinking of adding them?

NO the cutter came with a steel rear guard and a rubber belt front guard I was kind of dissapointed with the front belt guard it already got chewed up in the middle after the first day of use. I called the dealer and wanted the chains that are shown in the frontier manual but of course they cost...

Hey Mr.Roy I can only go by what the dealer is telling me but he says that blade should retail for $3400.00 (seems high I know) but since I bought the tractor he is giving it to me for $2700.00 plus 13 percent Ontario sales tax. I am sure there is a little BS in his story but 2700.00 seems fair...

Hey Gary how do you like the 72 " blade on this machine? is it a loader blade and can you move a lot of snow with it in a relatively short period of time? I have ordered a 72" loader snow blade for the 300 cx loader from Horst welding. I have one of there 60" loader blades the 1000 series for...

That fence is owned by the development company I am working for in the video so it is there responsibilty however I honestly don't think they have done anything to the fence since it went up about 7 years ago. They were going to build a cement sound barrier fence instead on there dime and the...

Thanks Gary - I am sorry they are just all sorts of weeds and to be honest I can't identify all of them rite now would have to look it up. It just falls under the property standards bylaw in my Township and there was about 5 acres of weeds on the property that is scheduled to be developed in an...

I even put a stereo system in my gator, it has an alpine system with the speaker bar and overhead map lights above mounted on the roll bar.:thumbsup:

I have a 2010 850D and I have to agree it goes plenty fast enough and the yanmar is a proven engine. I have found so many uses for mine. When I am finished my rough cutting contracts I use trimming along fence lines and curbs as an excuse to run for my 850D and take it off roading loaded up with...

Thanks Roy it has been so nice 3 days with no rain and the sun actually came out today.:thumbsup:

I have been using a 48 inch cutter on a little open station kubota 7510 for two years now in this cab with the 72" cutter it is like heaven. One thing about the frontier cutters is for there size they are very light. The machine has no problem at all with it. The only issue was me running it as...

Well boys we finally had a couple of days with no rain and the sun was out so I thought I would try the new 72" Frontier rotary cutter that was a package deal with the new 3720. I got her a little muddy but all in all was very impressed with the cutter and really enjoyed the comfort of the cab...

ok thanks not used to the new machine yet thought for the loader work should be higher but I guess the load match takes care of that a really nice feature.

ok thanks not used to the new machine yet thought for the loader work should be higher but I guess the load match takes care of that a really nice feature.

ok but has your cab had the noises on bumbs ever since you have owned it or did it start at a later date? I only have 22 hours on mine now and will try today and find out where the cab bolts are and what they should be tourqued to.

unverferth sent me the 6 inch spacers I returned them when I realized my tires would be wider then my buckett and my 60 " tiller and pulverizer I agree with the early poster. I flipped my tires have 300 lbs in wheel weights and 500 lbs ballast box I feel completly safe in the machine now.

Ok thanks good pointer and I should go easy on the new engine.

Playing around in my driveway - it is small don't laugh guys... video will make most of you fall asleep....:p New John Deere 3720 Cab - YouTube

Built a home for the 3720 shelterlogic at Canadian tire $699.99 I really like- makes my front look neater also and I am sure the neighbours appreciate that also.

I have 20 hours on the machine now but seriously out of all the machines I have that hour meter is fast I am sure of it! I did the door test you guys just made me head out in the dark to the new shelter for the tractor and same thing here. I had to open the left door could not make the right...

That would make sense also will look for a silicone based lubricant that won't damage the seals.

Hi Tom I did not know this have not read entire manual yet but I just hit 20 hours. Will look into this for sure.

Just wondering if all the squeaky noise in the cab with every little bump I hit is normal in the 3000 cab series? I got the steering wheel squeak sorted out with a washer but the cab itself really makes lots of squeaky sounds on every little bump I hit. Kind of annoying on a machine that cost so...

Never even thought of that- thought the fancy side should be outward. With your pictures and the hardware that JD sent me I think this makes sense. THANK YOU :)

email just received from my dealer..lol he is having problems also :laughing: I spent part of the morning screwing around with those weights, they sure do not make it easy. For some still reason Deere does not have installation instructions for the weights. To install 3 weights with...

I got 6 wieghts for the rear tires on my 3720. The dealer was waiting for hardware and just sent me 6 boxes of bolts. I feel pretty stupid but I could only figure out how to hook up two wieghts on each wheel. I also had to go and buy some 4 1/2 inch bolts to do it. I think I tried every possible...

Hi Greg your answer Is my solution also I think. It seems when I tilt the wheel up high in the position I like it there is something under the rubber cover just touching the rubber enough to make an annoying squeaky sound. When I drop the position of the wheel lower the sound is not as bad. I...

Any of you other 3000 series tractor owners notice the power steering is a little squeeky when you turn the wheel? I am just getting used to my new 3720 but I find the squeeky sound of the steering to be a little annoying is there something I can check or adjust?

I just got some 6 inch spacers from Uverferth there black. I think once I install them I will flip the tire back to the stock way as I don't need 8.150 inches per side. I don't know why the dealer got me 6 inch spacers but that is what the company sent for the 3720. I am still a little worried...

Thanks Glen the dealer told me the radio just pulls out now and that you don't have to pull the top anymore? not sure if I will every worry about it unless there is some big air leaks.

Used the new machine for the first job today overseeding at my condo contract moved 39 yards of dirt and spread it on some hilly ground. I have filled the ballast box with cement and flipped the tires and I was surprised. I felt pretty safe in the cab. I have ordered the 6" wheel extensions from...

Thanks Roy I feel better allready :o was really worried there for a minute!

3720 POWER STEERING QUESTION???????? ok I noticed this today on the steering wheel it says John Deere. You can be driving straight and the John Deere on the wheel is on the top spoke of the wheel (if you will) then when I turn left or right and put the machine into a straight run returning the...

Is that just an extended cutting edge bolted on to your loader bucket to protect the stock cutting edge?

Congratrs looks beautiful- I just took delivery of a new 3720 cab and it has 1.5 hours on it now and has more dirt on it then yours does..lol

The sliver I got was like a soft stretchy spongey kind of rubber (foam?) is that maybe just like an outer weather seal it looked like it went around the inside lip of the roof you can only see at the rear of the tractor if you look up between the cracks. I could see a corner of it sticking out a...

Hey Roy the truck had just pulled in it was still attached, but I think he may have still lowered it somehow? (if was not attached the truck was still looking like it was attached)

OK the job is done first thing this morning. When the machine was picked up from the dealer there was marker lines on the tire bolts. When we flipped the first tire we noticed they had little dabs of marker on the rim. This indicated that they at one time had that tire on and flipped before...

Oh my lord that is a great picture :D, my tires are not going to be quite that scary. When I picked up my jd3720 a brandnew s series JD combine came in for a farm show and a flatbed 18 wheeler came in behind it with just the tires. Those things were huge the guys said they had 12 hours labour to...

I will see what I can do , my friend Todd is a diesel tec for Fords and he has his own shop in the country. I thought he would be a good person to ask for help to do the job safely. I will bring a camera.

Ballast box. Did you guys just fill your ballast box with cement or bags of sand? In the winter I like to throw a couple of bags of salt in my box on the kubota but I am thinking of filling the Deere one with cement?

Yes it is an antenna and the reception seems good, but the antenna is cheap and I can see the cheap hardware on this getting broken in the winter from freezing - will see what happens. Do you install the wheel spacers on all 4 wheels or just the rear wheels? I also notice a small sliver of the...

Going in the morning to a shop to have help with this 2.5 per side is more then I thought I would get that is great news. I don't know why the factory would not set it up like that in the first place?

Thanks Roy I am going to my friends shop in the morning to get help and safely flip the tires. I have been reading all your past posts on this.

Hey Beltzington I was looking last year but in Canada the prices were so out of a hand I was just dreaming. so I bought a 850D gator instead and convinced myself it was a must have to go back and weed wack along all the fences after rough cutting with the kubuta 7510. This year when the dollar...

Hey Charley are those skid steers weights on ebay in the same quality comparison as the unverferth 4" wheel extensions I have read about here? That is an excellent price thank you for telling me about them. My only concern is how does the quality of the part look to you? Will you be installing...

That is great to know :) Thank You

Thanks brother - man your gripper claw looks nice too :thumbsup:

I picked up the 3720 today left at 6 am for the dealer about 2 hours east just outside of London. The tractor is really nice and I am really happy with it. I do notice that the turf tires are inside the fenders this is my only complaint. I will be ordering weel extenders and wheel weights. If...

Hey Nuru did you end up getting the spacers? I am picking up my machine soon at the dealer and I asked for good turf tires. Is it the R4 tires that make this machine more tippy then the turf tires would be?

Thats a great picture of the 3720 I am waiting for mine to be ready for pick up at the dealer. They are just waiting for a few parts.

wow just from your pictures your property must be awsome! I have a trusty 7510 and know these are some of Kubota's best machines.

Tractor has arrived and it has the Jenson model with all the goodies plus the cd player. There just waiting on my beacon light and 72 inch frontier rotary cutter..dam the waiting is killing me. I would like the use the machine for my last rough cut of my field contracts but there starting to...

I love the layout and the heavy duty buttons on that radio. I just emailed my dealer with your pictures. I told him this is the radio I want (hope it is not to late or maybe that is the standard radio anyways?) I never liked Delco stuff :thumbsup:

Question does the John Deere / Delco radio sound good? I have one coming in my 3720 and also when it is ordered in a new tractor does the JD factory install it or does your dealer install it?

I have had so many plug repairs well rough cutting I have always worried about putting anything in the tires, but so many operators suggest it.

Thank You sunnyside for the information on this machine I really appreciate it. It is a lot of money worth more then my F-350 superduty crew cab so I want to make sure I made a wise choice. I do a lot of snow in my small town in the winter and in the last two years have picked up lots of rough...

I have a new 3720 on order with cab - your post scares me :shocked:m how tippy are they? thank god for the 300 loader being on there. How did you correct the problem did you add wheel extenders?

This is a very interesting thread my kubota 7510b does not seem too bad for fumes except when it first starts cold. I am waiting for a new 3720 cab model should be here next week. They say the 3720 has a good air system and air filter. I was wondering is this vertical exaust upgrade something...

500 hrs is not that bad could be better but could be a lot worse like some of these turkeys with 2000 hrs on there machines and still wanting top dollar for it :confused2:

That really does sound like an amazing deal considering I know what I am paying for a new 3720 Cab!

Thats good to know and since the BC and the Kioti are the same machine I guess either sale is good for Kioti.

I would also consider this concern as Bc has had a lot of problems with these tractors and It is my belief that they may want to get out of the tractor market. This is after speaking with the owner of the largest BC dealer in SW Ontario. He told me they were having to many issues with the...

Not sure is the 7500 a 23 horse power? I think that is what my 7510 is a and I have a 4 foot rotary cutter, you can get away with a 5 footer in some cases but as said previous in heavy stuff you might not have the pto power you want. However for normal grass cutting a 72 inch rear finishing...

That is an excellent price and a very similiar machine to my B7510 kubota, if it is like the 7510 there is a pin on the rear rim you can pull that pin out and pull your rear tires out another couple of inches then tighten them up. This will help with better stabilty on slopes but always be...

I have a 2005 757 I purchased used this year. The machine itself only had 210 hours on the 18 horse Kawi. I did notice the last E in John Deere was half missing and the paint looked messed up there. I guessed the first owner had dropped something on it or it had got banged up in a trailer. I...

Bad PTO switch maybe? I have a GT235 and know the PTO switch is electronic if it goes the tractor will not start or the parking brake circuit? Elroy sounds like he has some good advice spray everything with contact cleaner.

Congrats very nice looking machine I just ordered my first JD compact with a loader now waiting.

oh well at least I am more active now I like civil :thumbsup: It is true what you enjoy, dealer support and what is in your budget. When I got a quote for John Deere cab 3720 a year ago from almost today it was pushing close to 50 thousand dollars with the options I wanted - crazy and I could...

Do you have some pictures of your machine in any of your posts would love to check them out?

I am not sure other the maybe the deluxe air ride seat? That is just what my quotation says there are apparently 3 cab configurations. John Deere is telling me it is actually cheaper to get the air ride seat when you get this configuration with rear SCV, and Mid PTO. Since it is cheaper for them...

Hello all I have read your forums for years but not been that active. I am here now because I just ordered a new John Deere HI-Spec cab tractor. It will mostly be used for rough cutting acres and acres of fields for the development company I work for and snow removal clean ups after my trucks...

I am not putting down any brands I am just telling you what I was told from a Bobcat dealer at the same time when they were working on several of them in there shop. If you have had no trouble with your main pump and no oil in your fuel then your in good shape. You got a really really great deal...

Thank You new on this forum

Nobody here has a 3720? I don't believe it!

lol Hawkeye the loaner was a Kubota thats why , just google Kioti problems don't listen to me ;)

At least DiezNuts has a Kubota 3030, would have been my second choice but I am very happy with my 7510 killer little machine and just ordered a JD3720 HI Spec Deluxe cab on monday.

Derek I was posting a quick response your rite I spelled a few things poorly in my haste..lol. I just saw your post now but the story on the Kioti tractors is not wrong. I wish you luck with yours let us know how you make out with yours as you log on the hours. The owner of a the biggest bobcat...

I am buying a new JD3720 cab for my property maintenance company. I already have a kubota 7510 that has served me well. The new machine will be for rough cutting for a development company and some *not too much snow removal in the winter. The Canadian dollar is high now and JD is offering 60...

Kioti tractors are junk my local bobcat dealer the owner told me they could not stand them but were forced to sell them. Bobcat started a giveaway program on these big tractors to flood the market with them. There were big compacts available with loaders for 8 to 11 k new how else was this...

Hello guys I am new to this forum. I am buying a used F1145 john Deere today and my main interest is turning it into a sidewalk snow machine. It has a 72 inch front deck on it now and thats it. Any of you familiar with this machine? what do I need to do to run a small plow on the front with...

Hi all Im new to the forums. I am buying a 1997 JD F1145 in the morning. I want to use it for a sidewalk machine. Only I don't know much about setting it up except that a snowblade for this machine has been hard to find as of yet. when I do find a blade can any of you tell me how I hook up the...

hEY Dave I am buying a F1145 I think tommorow and need to make contacts with other owners as I know little about this machine. Hope to chat with you I need to find a snowblade and not sure how I am going to install it. I may need to tap into the hydrolics ect ect. Will be looking for help here...
