JD 2720 now available

[shot_gun]

You can now order a 2720 and they should be hitting dealers by the last week of may.

[AKfish]

That's good news, shot_gun! Couldn't find anything on the JD website -- build your own, etc., though.

What are the differences between this new model and the 2520 or the 3005 model's?

Thanks again, for the head's up.

Try the configurator now. I just did it on the dealer side and we use the same version that you guys do. It should work.

Doesn't look like it is there yet for civilians...

That's pretty disappointing if accurate; exact same hydraulics as 2520, so all they added was a few HP. I don't seem to recall a lot of owners complaining about a lack of power in the 2520.

Perhaps the 2720 is the 'fix' for the 3-point hitch problem?

Try this, a little adjusting to the link for the 2520 configurator

Right click on the 2520 "build your own" and copy the link. Paste it into the address bar, replace the 5 with a 7 in 2520 and hit enter.
