JD 3320
Thanks to everyone who answered my posts and questions. When I first came to this site, I knew very little about tractors. This site has been awesome! I still have a lot to learn but plan on having fun doing it!

I originally started looking at the 1-Series which eventually led to the 2-Series. While we were at the dealer my wife said, "I like that one!" I turned around and spotted the 3320 and it was love at first sight! :licking: I felt like a kid again waiting for Christmas!! My wife even painted her toes green! :thumbsup:

Here it is...my first tractor and quite the upgrade!!

Grapple! I had plumbing run to the front and Power Beyond kit added to the rear. I'm still waiting on my MX5 cutter....

Congratulations !

I have to warn you though...... when your lawn mower starts matching your tractor, you might have a problem ! :D

Nice choice! I have no complaints about mine. Make sure you have good ballast weight on before you start picking stuff up!

Congratulations! Great looking rig.
What model number on the grapple, I want to check that out with my dealer and see what he shoots back.

Big 10-4 on the ballast. Assuming you are in fact new to equipment of this size---No 1 rule-center of gravity changes drastically as loader is raised. Take your time as you get used to machine. Quite the tractor for your first one- enjoy!!

Nice tractor and the grapple will be very handy, I rarely take mine off. I like your best friend too!:thumbsup:

You did good! That's the best purchase any 1-series shopper ever made ;)

Great choice. You can mount a couple of mirrors on the top of the FEL mast.

That's a great idea. I was out on the road going down to a neighbors (to show it off of course) and found myself looking behind me a lot for traffic. Thanks!

It's a Frontier AV20H root grapple. I looked at a lot of them and always came back to this one.

Tractor's first ride....

I spent the day out at the 20 acre home site and had a blast. My dealer still owes me my ballast box and brush hog so while I wait I have just been trying to pick up small things like chopped firewood just to improve proficiency with the loader. I'm new to tractoring but know correct ballast is extremely important...

I also met a new neighbor that just moved in... He came driving over in his brand new Kubota!

Congratulations. You have a very nice looking setup!

One question, I know laws are different from state to state, but are you legally allowed to pull a trailer rated for that much weight with a F-150?

Great looking equipment you've got there. Like previously said, that grapple will get a lot of use. My grapple is my main implement with the bucket replacing it for the dirt work only. To use the bucket as a very short term wheel barrow I'll even leave the grapple on and pick the bucket up with the grapple to carry what's needed to the back of the property - tools and such......
