John Deere Creates New Line of Cab Tractors

Today’s consumer product industry becomes increasingly popular nowadays, with new products showing up every day.  John Deere, producer of agriculture, construction, and residential equipment jumps to the forefront of the residential industry with its new 3000 series tractors, specifically the 3720 model.  I recently acquired one of the new 3720s for about two weeks, just enough time to fully review all the features of the new tractor.  

For starters, the overall style overall style of the machine proved useful yet stylish.  At first glance one notices the large cab.  The pressurized climate controlled cab offers 15,000 BTUs of heating and cooling capacity, the cab proved itself as a valuable option on the hottest and coldest of days and plenty of room.  Operator comfort greatly increased with the optional Air ride suspension seat creating a smooth ride on the roughest terrain.  I enjoyed driving the tractor both night and day with headlights in the hood and the top of the cab facing forward, as well as lighting in the rear.  Both comfort and style in the new John Deere 3720 take the typical compact tractor’s format and throw it out the window.

During the two weeks a 110-year-old oak tree fell down on my property.  The trunk measured approximately four feet in diameter.  I attached a set of pallet forks on the front-end-loader to help clean up the mess.  The optional skid-loader quick attach system easily allowed conversion from bucket to forks in about a minute.  I used a chainsaw to saw the logs into reasonably sized sections.  The smeel of fresh cut wood lingered in the air.  The loader lifted each two foot long section of the trunk without being squirrely in the rear.   The tractor exhibits the best of all compact tractors in one convenient package.  The power of the tractor impressed me greatly.  While using the tractor for both loader work, and three-point-hitch implements the 43 horsepower Yanmar diesel engine purred right along.  I also then used a 6 foot wide John Deere MX6 rotary cutter to mow my back field filled with 3-foot-high grass and a few thick shrub bushes.  The engine’s minimal vibration at 2500 RPM and above made the task enjoyable.  Four wheel drive saved me from getting stuck in the knee deep mud in on area of the field. The tractor takes all of its power and uses it efficiently and when its most needed.

After the two week period I was sad to see the tractor leave, and would buy one of the tractors without question. John Deere created the best series of smaller cab compact tractors compared to New Holland Case IH, and Kubota.  All the tractor’s features proved perfect for the small 5-acre farm I live on and would suit any farm smaller than 20-acres.  Since then the summer days have changed to winter, with its storms and colder temperatures I find myself wishing I could plow winter’s worst in the comfort of the heated cab.
