I have never changed a bearing on a paralink cause it was loose. Or a midrow bander and we have been running them since 2001. Have changed them when the dust cap came off or got damaged but otherwise just Tighten and grease and away we go. The mrb cylinders will be different than the 3310 also as the 3320 uses smaller diameter cylinder to lesson the hydraulic requirements and speed up the lift and lower. Dust sticking to the rams is pretty normal as they sweat a little bit. As long as oil isn’t dripping out I wouldn’t worry about it. I’ve got 4 16.5x 16.1 tires on rims if you need a spare. I changed over to a 445/50-22.5 tire on main frame. Tire and rim was cheaper then just the tire and they are a heavier rated tire. Are the 445/50-22.5 tires a big improvement over the 16.5Lx16.1 implement tires? Do they seem to float a little better? |

They are flatter profile so I’m theory they should. Only thing we found last year is they don’t shed the mud as good as the 16.5-16.1. But they seemed to stay turning in greasy mud as there is more tread on them.
Only ran them for one season so limited knowledge in different conditions. Would go with them again for sure.
We only got 3 seasons on the tires before cords were showing through and I don’t like taking chances with tires on main frame as we move close to 30 miles on the road.

My 66ft 3320QDA and 6700 tank are supposed to be delivered this week. It's about 200 miles mostly down divided highway. This dealer is not a Bourgault dealer so I'm not sure if the trucker has any experience hauling them. Is there anything special they need to do other than grease wheel bearings and check tire presssures? Mike Mitchell had his conveyor swing out over the ditch on his big tank.

Windy Lane Towing hauled mine, they have a couple guys that had done lots over the years. He closed the valves to the openers and had some homemade pins in case anything was leaking down, which there wasn't. He put a strap on the lower end of the conveyor to support it. Wheel bearings were checked and greased and I had spares off my other drill in case something happened.
Hopefully yours goes as smoothly as mine did, zero problems.

Had ours recently hauled from Calgary to Sherwood port which is roughly 600 miles and had no issues. They ratchet strapped the openers up to be sure nothing would come down. Seemed to do a great job and kept us informed the whole way.
Some outfit in Manitoba that hauls seeders for dealerships, can't remember name unfortunately.

That’s who we got a couple years ago, they did an amazing job, after getting them to do it I would never even consider doing it myself. |

Calgary to Sherwood that's a haul, did everything look ok when it got to Sherwood?

Three way industries. Just looked up the bill.
Yes everything was in great shape. They only pulled 25-30mph the whole way from what they said. Tires on drill still in good shape and cart tires were fine as well. Very happy overall.
Was hesitant about moving one so far but 50’ 3320 with low acres and setup the way we wanted was very hard to find. So far very glad we bit the bullet.
