3520 Cab with Backhoe Question

Tjaltz · Jan 16, 2011

I'm looking for information from 3X20 Cab with Backhoe owners. I am interested in a JD 3520 Cab with the 375 Backhoe, and I would like to know if there is any access to the Backhoe controls from inside the cab? I understand that the Backhoe is normally operated from the rear seat on the Backhoe outside the cab. There have been times with my current open station machine when I've gotten myself in a bad spot, and needed to reach back to the Backhoe controls and extend the hoe to help pull me out. I wanted to know if that would be possible with a 3X20 Cab Backhoe unit. Thanks for any information.

The rear cab window does open - at least partially. You might be able to "sorta" reach the hoe controls.. at least enough to give the tractor a push.

Could be a bit awkward, though.

IMO - if you're considering a backhoe for the 3520 - why not step up to the 485? It's alot more machine than the 375..

Arn't the 2011 units going to have the option of the creep to re-position feature similar to the 110 tlb?

Oop's my bad, looks like that is for 2011 4xxx 20 series not 3's, sorry.

Well, well... you're never too old to learn!

The 485 is only available for the cab 4000 series and the "open station" 3000!

(When DO you do your homework, anyway... if you're always on TBN?)
