I just did a little digging and apparently both loaders are Quick-Park.
Quick on. Quick off.
Still, this info could stand corrected.
3120 or 3032E ??

Hi Dk, i've had a 3120 e hydro since Sept 2007 now got 820 hrs on clock - it's worked in a farm situation, its a very good tractor - comfortable, excellent vision when working. problems i've encountered...worst is that there is a plate on the very bottom of the front 4wd axle assembly. we've had rocks & logs come under the bucket & dent the plate 4 times in 3 years - hydo/oil fluid leaks out - the damned things r on the lowest part of the tractor & just not heavily enough material IMO- u have to be careful on that issue. steering adjustment slips sometimes - don't pull urself up one it if ur overweight like me
have had the pedal sensor re-set on hydro ay 775 hrs - not a big job. other than that i'm very happy. i had a MF165 2 wd tractor that was 40 years old, spent nothing on it, but a lots changed and the 3120 with 4wd does all the old MF did & more.
re loader - one thing u have to watch is that the loader is stronger than the standard walled tyres that came on the unit. there r 2 3120 in our district, we both find when using the bucket we have to put lot of air in front tyres, then let some out when back to paddock work - both of us have blisters on the side walls of front tyres!!!! both of us have adopted the idea that we will let the tyre collapse & then replace with a thicker walled tyre at that time. i thought it was just me, was relieved when other owner had same issue. all that aside i find its a very good machine - it won't last out like MF165 did - not as heavy built, but neither will i - 10 years will see me off tractors anyways & each year i do less. if ur not going to do 1,000hrs a year i think u'll be happy. cant help more than that. cheers OzGH

Congratulations. I think you'll be very pleased with your new machine.
On top of the FEL mast there is a 5/16" hole that does not seem to serve any purpose. Went to the local auto store and purchased two 5" convex mirrors that mount with a 3/8" threaded stud. Slipped a short piece of 3/8 ID clear tubing over the stud and inserted into 5/16" hole.
Presto - two adjustable rear view mirrors that so far don't seem to be stuck in the way.
