What tractor model is that, and what's the lift weight/height capacity? 4WD? Nice little rig.

It is a Deere 3320 32.5 hp e-hydro compact tractor with r4 tires and 4wd. Tractor is about 3300 lbs. Also have 800lbs of rear ballast I use with heavy work.
Here is some info on the loader. I have 42" adjustable forks on it. I have lifted 1000 lb pallets of plywood full height and stacked them with these forks. The mower deck is a 72" 7- iron 660lb mid mount mower deck. I also installed hard lines on the loader for my 3rd valve that I use with my 72 angling snow plow on the loader. Everything is quick attach as well.
Compatibility
The 300X fits the following tractors in production as of 2010: 3320, 3520, 3720, 4005 and 4105. It fits the following out-of-production tractors: 4300, 4310, 4400, 4410, 3203, 970, 1070 and 990. In each case, a set of mounting points are permanently mounted to the tractor just forward of the operator's station. The loader is first connected to the tractor's hydraulic system, then the hydraulics are used to lift the loader onto the mounting points and the tractor frame.
Lifting Capacity
The 300X will lift 1,122 lbs. to a maximum height of 102 inches, measured at the bucket tedge. Measured from the pivot pins, the capacity is 1,598 lbs. The first rating is a more realistic measure of what you can expect from the loader, while the pivot pin rating relates more to gross lifting power. With a height limit of 59 inches, those capacities increase to 1,649 lbs at the bucket edge and 2,125 lbs. at the pivot pins.
Reach
The distance from the nose of the tractor to the front edge of the bucket determines how easily the loader can transfer materials to truck and trailer beds and how far into a flower bed a landscaper can dump a load of mulch. The 300X has a maximum reach of 22 inches with the bucket raised to its maximum height and rolled fully forward. On the ground the reach is 58.6 inches. Since the loader lifts in an arc, the reach will decrease from 58.6 inches to 22 inches as the bucket is raised. Related to "reach" is the loader's digging depth. The 300X can reach 5.6 inches below tire level while digging.
Breakout Force
The 300X has a breakout force of 3,327 lbs./ft measured at the pivot pins and 2,416 lbs./ft. measured at the bucket edge. This measure indicates the capacity of the loader to dig into a pile and fill the bucket.
Cycle Times
Raising the loader from ground level to maximum height takes 3.56 seconds. Going back down takes 2.1 seconds. Dumping the bucket, from fully rolled back to fully dumped takes 2.96 seconds. Curling the bucket from level to fully rolled back takes 1.75 seconds.

A little more than the average garden tractor I'd say...
Thanks, Curt

Average garden tractors don't move much wood or many tools or deal well with big snow drifts. I did have a 1973 Simplicity 4041 Powermax that was pretty sweet. It had a 19hp Onan engine, 60" mower deck that striped the lawn, and a cat0 PTO and 3pt. It was awesome. Let a buddy have it that really needed one.

+1. Interesting note... I googled 300x loader and one of the first hits was a thread from 10 years ago on tractorbynet.com where you were talking about it in a discussion comparing it against a 300cx. Sounded almost like a Saw Stop thread here.

Get the CX if you have a choice. I think the X gets sold to the deal finders with a package deal
CX has larger cylinders they say.
I bought mine in 2005. TONS of awesome tractors between this line and the smaller tractor line back then. If buying today Id prob not own the 3x20 line as the 2x20 series is great and the 3038e is a sweet setup for the money but I am sure not trading now. The 3x20 line cost a lot more these days - a lot like tools.
