Question about hood guard for 2520.

lvivuk · 06-03-2008, 04:04 PM

I ordered 2520 BH & loader two weeks ago.
Last night I was driving by dealer and noticed that my tractor came in. It had loader but hood guard was not present. For some reason I was under impression that guard is included when you purchase loader, but I guess it is not.
Can anyone give me an idea how much the guard costs and if it can be ordered separately.
Thanks.

less than $300, can't remember exact price...new TLB you should put your foot down with the dealer about it.

It should be part of the loader package I thought?

Have you asked the dealer?

My hood guard was part of the loader. How much it actually cost I have no clue. But.....

On the JD configurator the Hood Guard is included in the basic FEL cost, HOWEVER, there is also a Delete Option price. Some dealers will give you an FEL price, less the Hood Guard, to create a lower price point and do an Add Back if the Hood Guard is required.

In your case, only you and the dealer know what was agreed and contained in the contract you signed.

I bought a hood guard with no loader and paid about $150.

I got 200X loader. I just looked in Deere configurator on the web and looks like hood guard is included with 200X loader as well.
I will definitely ask.
Thanks all for responses.
