It walks through curling the bucket, raising the loader off the hinge points, releasing locking handles, disconnecting color-coded hydraulic couplers, and the reverse process for reinstalling, including alignment tips. Useful mainly for current 3R/320R owners needing a step-by-step procedural reference, not for shoppers comparing tractors.
Posted by Western Equipment, a channel tied to a parts retailer (247parts.com), so expect a practical how-to with a parts-sales plug rather than independent testing.
Curl the bucket flat, use the loader handle to raise the tires off the ground, pull back the locking handles on both sides, then lower the loader until the parking stands contact the ground and disconnect the hydraulic couplers.
Relieve pressure on the loader hydraulics first, pull back the locking lever on each coupler, remove the hose, and put covers on so you remember which hose goes where.
Drive in straight, align the hood and frame, line up the two frame mount points with the loader knuckles, reconnect hydraulics starting from the inside hose, then push forward to raise the parking stands and relock the handles.
If leaving the loader parked for a while or on soft ground, a piece of wood under the stands keeps the loader from sinking into the ground.
