I am getting a new JD 3320 tractor and I was wondering about the new quick hitch mower deck. They are fairly new and I would like to hear from someone that has one.
Thank you.

have one on my 3720,It was easy to install with a couple exceptions.If you have front tires in wide position you need to change them back or wheels wont line up with driveover on deck.The gauge cutting pin also needs to be removed so that mid pto will drop fully.This was not really addresed in manual it took me a minute to figure this out.

As for the hook up it is as easy as driving over it per the instuctions and your in business.For me i had the extra step of having to put midpto and bracket on tractor first(took about 15 min firsttime in future shouldnt be more than 5-10 min) because i had front pto for snowthrower on which means the mid pto does not stay on tractor all year just in summer for mowing.

I suspect all that have mid pto on at all times this really should be as simple as driving on and its ready for mowing.Good luck

Sounds good. I know that 7 iron deck is a real good one. Then again, Deere makes great
equipment. Those 3000 series tractors are nice and if everything goes right I will make the deal tomorrow.
Thank you

I have about 90 hours on my 3320 - great machine. They didn't have the Auto Connect when I ordered. A couple of items to consider depending on future anticipated use - maybe even if you don't now think they would be used.

1. Power Beyond - for BH and other rear uses
2. 4 - Button Auto Cruise - allows better control and setting of options
3. Hard Lines for the FEL - for Power Angle FEL snow blade or Grapple etc.

None of the three is very expensive if ordered at original sale and will be a lot cheaper than taking the tractor back to the shop for installation at some later date
