First post here, owner of a 3215 HST

Welcome to the group and if you haven't figured it out yet you've got yourself a great tractor for it's size. I enjoy my tractor (minus turbo) and have wondered why it took me so long to get it.
My advice is to search the forum for both the 3215 and 2815 models for additional ideals and any discussions on problems that may have come up.

What I will be looking into is if I can put rear remotes on it. I want to build a dump trailer and log splitter.

There is one factory rear remote available. But for the price of it, you can easily get 3 aftermarket ones. I went with the factory one and then added 2 more, I am satisfied, but probably should have just gone with 3 after market ones. Would have saved about $400.

You can see in the picture, the factory control next to the position control lever and the two others that I added. :thumbsup:

I've had a 3215 gear with loader and backhoe for 3 1/2 years and am nothing but amazed at what you can do with this machine. Took the hoe off for first time yesterday and then did some brush hogging. Sure nice to finally see I have more than a backhoe. Hoe dismounting saw easy, did it by myself. I know I will need someone to help guide, to put it back on. Does seem small after operating a 1000 kumotsu excavator! lol. Aaron

S78wingrider,
If you can see your subframe mounts from the seat, you should be able to back right under the hoe mounts after hooking up the hoses.:confused2: It takes me longer to remove my 3PH arms than hook up the backhoe.:thumbsup:
hugs, Brandi

The only thing that has come up on the tractor is the bolts on the front axle coming lose so I'd keep and eye on them.

Yes, bolts are one thing you want to keep an eye out for on whole Tractor. I just changed oil and noticed a leak, pan bolts were very loose. Aaron
