Well....at least the only kind of diesel that's going to be seen with my name on the title!




Though the photos looked good so I wanted to share them. My new JD 3220 & 5ft loader I picked up last week. Enough power and weight to handle anything I need to do and it's still small enough to tow around easily when I have to.

That's my 3yr old son on there. He's been on it more than me-I've have to pry him off of it crying every night to go inside since we bought it home! What can I say? He's got good taste-likes Fords and JDs!

 

I would have opted for a color-matched NH! Still, all I can say is SWEET!

 

Can I have the trailer?
That's look sweet with my Jeep on it.
But then again the JD isn't all that bad either.

 

Very cool rig!

If you moved the JD back so that the trailer wheels are "between" the tractor wheels wouldn't that take some weight off the hitch so it doesn't drag the back of the truck down?

 

Thanks for the nice remarks guys.

NoMo: I never thought about a Holland being the same color as my F250 but you're right!

Monsta, the truck is really not sitting as low as it looks in that photo. I noticed it looked that way too. It was actually parked on a slightly uneven grade and it makes it look that way. On flat pavement it's actually pretty level. The way to tell is by how much space is still left in the wheelwell above the rear tire. There was a good 1 or 2 inches left until the rear leafs contacted the bumpstops.

This tractor/loader only weighs about 3800lbs plus 1900 for the trailer. With this light of a load I really like to have the extra weight in front of the trailer's axles to prevent sway and level the truck out. Plus the loader rests against the front of the trailer rails and is less likely to slide forward if I have to stop hard. (I've learned that type of stuff the hard way! )

 

Are you ever going get to use your new tractor an loader. Your son looks like hes glued to that seat. I remember getting on my Dads tractor for the first time when I was young. What a thrill. I just love that color on your truck. Sonic blue. Problem is I cant get that on a superduty anymore. That tractor an loader looks like a great combo. Id sure like to have that myself.

 

MountainHound, Great looking vehicles and your little guy is never going to be happy with only a Tonka Toy now that he has had the feel of Dad's real machine. My own 2 kids are 20 and 17 but it seems like yesterday they were the same age as your boy. That is such a special time for kids and it great to see another Dad enjoying his family. Take care and best of luck, Wrench.

 

Wait til JR. gets his hands on the keys for that machine, that nice lawn just aint gonna look the same. Good luck with it!

 

LOL! Yeah I could just see him dropping the loader bucked about 2" below the level of the tires with the tractor in 4wd and stripping up a nice 5ft X 50yd piece of turf off daddy's lawn!!

I better go see where he's at!!

 

Makes sense to me!

I could never own one of those. My yard would end up being one big hole...

 

Only HALF your yard would be a hole... the other half would be a mountain! Gotta put that dirt somewhere. BTW, how far do you think you could dig before hitting lava?
