Pulled the trigger on a 3720

[slaveToHorses]

Hey 2 new tractors on the forum today!
I ordered the 3720 with
300CX loader, large vol bucket, level ind., deluxe grill guard
447 backhoe, 16" bucket, stabilizer guards
canopy, lights kit, large R4's, ballast bucket, arm rests...
oh yeah, an 8' rake too

I thought seriously about the TC45 but in the end, I got another greenie.

It was a new tractor or a new truck and as much as I would like to have a newer style turbo diesel all leather wonder.
In the end, I always choose a farm toy

Excellent!
Arm rests you say?

Whereabouts in Oregon?

Yeah, they don't show up in the Deere configurator but they do for the 4x20 series.
They share the same seat so we just ordered them separately.
Not as good as the joy stick/forearm rest on the Kubota L39 but good enough /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Could you post some pictures of those when you get them? Also do you remember the cost of the armrests?

sure, might have the rig this weekend. They have everything except the bh I think.
The arm rests were $100. Yeah I know, they are really proud of them I guess! But I checked out a 4520 that had them and decided I had to have them. Kind of like the telescoping links. Just had to have them /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Hi slavetohorses,

Congratulations on the purchase--that 3720 is a brute! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Are you only planning light materials handling with the bucket? The 300CX is a beast as well, and usually folks opt for a HD bucket with it... I haven't seen the high capacity bucket, but the CX may just have oomph enough to spring it on you if you do get aggressive with it ... has the dealer seen any damage in the combination? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Sounds like a great set-up! Have fun! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I spend a portion of every weekend moving the manure pile from by the barn to over in the nursery fields. The HV bucket should cut that time by a large factor. I am having all four tires filled and have a ballast box so that part shouldn't be a problem.
My sales guy is very knowledgeable and said the hydraulics will bypass before I do any damage.
I can always sluff off contents of gravel or dirt. The HV bucket will also be great when I am hauling tools/supplies around while doing fencing and logging work...
Seemed like the right choice...we'll see

It's here! oh boy!! First time I ever purchased a new tractor, well besides garden tractos anyway.
Here are some shots
3720 w/ large R-4's, 300CX w/ high vol bucket, deluxe guard, canopy, light kit, 447 backhoe w/ 16" bucket and stabilizer guards.

All tires are filled. I loaded up the bucket to overflowing with firewood today and drove back on very uneven ground and mud.
Never had it in 4WD and it never felt tippy or lost any traction.

Man this is one sweet tractor!!

Ooops, photos too big. I'll post again later when I have a chance
to drop the resolution...

Ok hopefully I have a photo size that can be uploaded...
