Adding mid PTO to 3320

[snohobigdad]

Ok, so now it is time for me to tweak this thread. I am going to buy a 3320 probably used as the new prices are really tough to swallow.

And here is my request; I would like every piece of information that everyone / anyone has in HOW to add a mid-PTO. I know that the JD configurator indicates cab models and I have already debunked it. The only REAL requirement is eHydro.

I know I can buy the mid PTO kit for about $670. If someone has a line on a better price, that includes shipping to Washington State, that's good information too. I am not fussing the price of the kit.

I am looking for the hidden costs, such as other parts that are required so that can successfully use a 72" 7 Iron auto comment mid-mount mower. I am also very interested in talking to anyone who has actually done the physical labor of adding the mid-PTO. This includes if there is heavy lifting required.

So, this is a request for information, not about whether I should or shouldn't buy a 3320 and add mid PTO. You guys are very gifted as your experiences have been paid for with you sweat, time and money.

I respect and want to learn from what you have lived because if who you are. Tractor guys / gals (like my soon to be wife)

Thanks and have an awesome day!

Jim

In addition to the "KIT" you may also need LVA14927 Bracket, LVB24846 Control and RE213475 Sensor. They could add another $400 + or - to the parts bill.
There are other parts related to the MMM. If purchasing new you can get those prices easily. If used another story. I had the MMM & all hardware already and then added PTO & Power Beyond to 3320 CAB. Dealer did the install. Basically $3,200 P & L + taxes. Obviously it can be done, but not a job for the inexperienced DIY'er.

Thanks Cinder. Nor weak of mind either I bet. . I am planning on open station, and am being told it is easier due to the control mechanism. I am getting a kick researching this.

Thanks so much!
