1st Timer

[bferris01]

Just wanted to say HI, 1st time on the board and just bought my 1st JD tractor. I have about a 1 mile dirt/gravel road to get to the county maintained gravel road plus a horseshoe gravel drive about 800 feet long. I didn't get any other attatchments with it but have a rear 3pt snow blower already and am looking for a good rear blade.


John Deere 3520
FEL 300CX W/ Grill guard & bucket level indicator
61" heavy duty bucket w/ tooth bar
Telescoping Draft links
Mid PTO
Front/Rrear Work Lights With Brush Guards
R4 Tires (rear Loaded)
3rd Selective Control Vavle

Should pick up June 11th! I am excited and can't wait.

Thanks for all the helpful links and posts.

Hello bferris and welcome to TBN
I know there are other brands,but the JD rear blades are some of the best built on the market. They may be a bit pricey,but well worth the cost. Oh,the color matches the tractor too.
Hope you enjoy your new tractor and please post some pictures.

Welcome bferris! Congrats on your new Deere, hope it serves you well. Watch these folks on here though, because your spending has just begun if you hang out here long LOL! Jokes aside, there is a wealth of info on here that folks share freely - they sure have helped me out and continue to.

Welcome BF, good luck with the 3520, great machine! You just ordered it and it will be in on the 11th? Wow, they gave me a July 22 date for my 3320 and I bought it in the middle of may!

Whatever you do, don't let them hold up delivery of the tractor over a HD bucket and tooth bar; I had mine delivered with the regular bucket so I wasn't without a tractor while waiting on the HD bucket & replaceable cutting edge; it took 4 weeks for the HD bucket & cutting edge to come in but in the meantime the dealer told me to use the standard bucket and they would deliver the HD & edge when it came in. I was told anything that has to do with the loaders comes out of Mexico now (both of mine, 5' and 6', still say canada on them), which sometimes causes a delay in delivery. The dealer should deliver your tractor without having to wait on the HD bucket though, they will just turn around and sell the regular one as a used bucket when yours comes in, just tell them you use your tractor all of the time, and can't be without one for any amount of time.

Congrats on the new rig. You certainly have a task for it.!!....

With that much driveway I would sell the 3pt blower and get a big one up front.

Hey, just trying to spend some of your money to help ya out.!!
