I recently had my ping putter witch is about 2 years old cut down from about 35" to 32". I watched the guy cut 3" off, but after that he just put a grip on it and handed it back to me. Do I need to get the weight adjusted after taking so much length off?

Quite likely... realistically you should be fit for your putter weight (and counter-weight).

Oh yeah, your swingweight just went WAY WAY down. For every inch I cut off of a putter, I generally add about 10-15g of headweight. At 4" you're looking at a minimum of 40g just to get the feel of your flatstick back to where it was when you started.
