Ordered a new 3320 toy....err.. work machine!!!!

[jjmarotz]

Hi guys...
Bit the bullet and ordered in a new 3320 open station, w300CX loader, and 59" front mount snowblower to replace my 3202 w300 loader and rear 3pt Meteor blower. Looking forward to a few more conveniences and added loader capacities. Should be here in 2 weeks if things go right.

My ? is.... does anyone have a few pics, front and rear, of the mounting system of the front mount blower? More specifically the rear, can a rear blade be used in conjunction with the blower? I have searched high and low for detailed pics of this setup only to come up empty.

Also.... do I have to remove most of the front A-frame assy and such to put the loader back on? And how time consuming is the swap around?

Thanks for the help!!!

You are gonna love your tractor, but being from the deep south I am not familiar with snow moving implements.

Keep us informed and post some pics when the tractor comes in.

Yes on the removal of the Front A-Frame, no it does not take long at all it is a few minutes and should not require any unbolting, should be ony pins to remove - but check with your dealer. I have not put my loader on since I got the front blade, but I seem to remember you only have to remove the A-frame and its mounting brackets.

I use a back blade with my snowblower will post pics. I also have pics of the A-Frame setup somewhere. Will post when I find them.
You will love to move snow.

Found these pics.
This would be my ideal setup . . a nice warm cab.

Thanks for the pics Jbird!! That's exactly what I was needing to see. I had seen a pic somewhere of a front mount blower that had a drop box using the rear pto of the tractor. Had me worried that I wouldn't be able to use a rear blade with blower on. Talked with my dealer today to confirm the blower ran off the mid pto.
Wish I could have gotten the cab, but I suppose the Femco weatherbrake will have to do for now.

I could have considered a snow blower with the latest scow we got. I did fine with the blade but a snow blower is neater

Snowblower in my area is almost mandatory!!! Even if it is on a compact tractor. My last tractor, early 1970's 78hp 4010 JD with 7' wide bucket, worked fairly good. But... the mountains of snow I created quickly closed in on me and had to call the neighbor with comparable tractor with blower to move the banks back for me a couple times a yr. It is nothing for us to receive 4-5'+ of snow on any given yr. Even the county road grader with HUGE v-wedge blade has troubles getting thu sometimes!!!

Last pic was taken 4-14-08 in my front yard

How are you going to control the TnT cylinders?

Will add on electric diverter valve setup in the future. For now I will only use the hyd center link with the factory 5th hyd valve. I just thought it was awesome that he cut the price $500 bucks!!! So not all of it will be installed right away.

You might want to consider adding the power beyond kit as well. It is needed for a back hoe but I use mine for my log splitter and a hydraulic auger. I also added the cruse control after I got mine home. Great for going down the road or any time a set speed is needed.

A frontier 4in1 bucket and my home made pallet forks are the best attachments a guy could want.

Gotcha...but don't you mean "3rd valve (SCV)"?

Yea, that's what I meant

DanD... Power beyond may be added on in the future as well. The 4-in1 bucket is also WAY high on my want list too!!! But you know the saying.... Want in one hand and poop in the other... see which one you get first lol

Not trying to be picky, I just don't want others to get confused You did get a good deal on the factory kit for sure!
