Hi:

The dealer did the initial install fo the 59" snowblower and the front A-Frame mount on my 3720 but didn't have a manual to give me. I did figure out how to take it off and put the loader back on.

The mount will lift the SB 15" off the ground which is impressive, and it's dead silent (Not like the blower on the 2305).

My question is this: (Remember I have no manual yet... ;)

Is there a lift adjustment on the front 3 point? What stops the snowblower/hitch from going too high right now is that the toplink hits the bottom of my grille guard. This bent the turn pin on the top link but doesn't seem to bother the top link.

Not sure if there is an adjustment for this but it seems like there should be.

Thanks,

I noticed the same thing on my 3720 cab when I installed the blower myself for the first time. A call to my dealer got this response "well, don't lift it so high and it won't hit the guard" and he was serious!:eek:. At this I instantly got hot and it went down hill from there. So much for paying the extra price to support my local dealer, next time the lowest bid gets my business, at least then when I get poor service I can rationalize it by thinking I was getting what I paid for.

My dealer is generally great and I haven't asked him about it yet. It's not doing any damage I was just curious if there was a stroke limiter on the cylinder or something. They put a nice (Very nice) vernier type flow adjuster so you can make the lift/drop rate really slow so I'd be surprised if there isn't some sort of stroke adjustment on it.

The center link may be installed on the A-frame top in one of two holes, top or bottom, for more or less implement lift.

Hope this helps.
