I just purchased a 2005 3120 with 140 hours. The tractor wont drive straight, it slowly turns to the left unless you are constantly correcting to the right. Has anyone ran into this problem before and knows the resolution? Thanks!

I inherited a 2006 John Deere 3120 eHydro tractor about two years ago, and mostly only use it for plowing in the winter, so it didn't get much use this year. I started having issues getting it to turn over and would have to jump it with my vehicle. I purchased a new battery from my JD dealer...

I ahve a 2008 JD 3120 with only 350 hours on it. It mainly used as brush hob but gets used around the house. A few months ago I noticed the brakes are not working.

When I try to start my John Deere 3120 tractor it lunges forward like it is gear. If I put the transmission range gear in neutral it will start but then gears grind if I try to put the transmission in gear. The ehydro pedals seem to be stuck in forward; Any ideas?

When backing up hill with 4-wheel drive, I notice the transmission seems to be slipping. Just started happening. No issue in 2-wheel drive. What's the problem?

My JD 3120 compact was starting with no problem but after working it about 1 hour shut down for about 10 minutes then when turned key on to restart all the lights on the instrument panel randomly flashed and fuel shut off clicked on and off. When key was turned to start position the starter...

Well, I've been all over the place with little tractors....

It's got 900 hours, used and maybe even...

Hey guys... I just picked up a used '07 3120. Overall it seems like a good unit other than the fact that the received bar bracket mount is broke. The gal I bought it from put her husband in the nursing home and she knew nothing about the tractor which is why she unloaded. Anyway, everything else...

Hi All, further to my earlier post on "transmission calibration" & having contacted another owner of similar JD3000 unit, the question arises as to whether or not the 2007/2008 John Deere 3120 ehydro does or does not have a 2 stage pedal action - meaning first 1/2 to 2/3 of pedal travel is for...
