I have placed another 4ft x 3ft strip of plywood under the bucket. As I remove the FEL I also place it by using the hydro. After its off I push the arms over by hand. It moves easy because the the bucket hangs off the plywood on both sides. I had to do something because the bucket was putting huge marks in the shed floor.

By the way I am not to bad with fitting all my gear in that little place.

As for getting in and out I have no problem at this location. One on the main reasons I made the move was I have some arbs that I was killing everytime I pulled out with the FEL on. This other location was fine for my old JD LX280 but with the 2305 it was not a good set up. Looking to run power and a water line out to the shed. Just kicking the idea around. I do have a gen out in the shed for power if needed.

Mayor; how satisfied are you with the location of the two hooks you put on the bucket? I want to do the same on mine, just wanted to make sure you are happy with where you put them?

If I had to do it again I would find larger hooks and line them with the loader arms. Mine do work fine and are holding up well but I have seen some larger tractors set up that way. I mover my shed (12x16) with them and a 10,000 lbs tow strap. Just make sure you hooked to both when under load. Can't remember if it was here or another site. A guy (Brett) from Greensburg PA had a larger JD with a cool set up. Will try and find a photo for you.

The other thing I would also changes is the PVC in my weight box. Steel pipe is the way to go but live and learn. Oh, never had a problem with the PVC.

Rookie, put your tractor in neutral and don't set the parking brake when removing/installing the FEL. This way the machine will move, and the loader will stay where it's at. Do set the brake, though, before you get off to dis/connect the hyd hoses! And don't worry, after about 10 times you'll be a pro at it!

Mayor,

Thanks for sharing the pics and info on your new 2305 and building....

Question .... In one pic, it appears you have a new JD 17P Utility Cart with wooden side panels. Did you make the wooden side panels to fit into the 17P Cart or "purchase" from JD? Thanks

I had some scrap wood left form my deck. This is a synthetic wood and will hold up longer then me. I used it on the side and even used it for the up rights but they broke after a few uses. PT wood for the up rights and the the rails are synthetic. Also it's a p10 or something, very small but I have had a lot of weight in it. With the FEL I find it more in the way then anything. Every so often I need to trim the shrubs etc and it holds more then the FEL for that kind of work.

Mayor, you are out of control, but I love it.
