3520vs 2320

bunson · Jun 9, 2013

I currently have a John Deere 2320 with a 62 inch deck,loader, 3 bag bagger and turf tires. I want to upgrade to a 3520 with a 72 inch deck. No cab. Most of its use will be for mowing. My question will be it be too much extra weight (1000# more)on the lawn. What tires are the best turf or r4's? I will get another loader for the 3520 but it will be used for moving snow piles, stone and lifting things up to my loft in my garage. This loader will lift a foot higher than my current one and has more capacity. I am a home owner with 12 acres.

A 3520 is getting heavy for mowing. Turf tires will be easier on the grass.

How many people use a 3520 for mowing? What is your experience mowing with it? Too Heavy?

I've used a Deere 4400 (which has very similar specs to the 3520) for mowing with a 72" RFM behind it. No problems here as long as you use some common sense.
