I have 68 hours on my 2520 and nothing but pure satisfaction...almost...
Twice when backing up
before I raised the mower deck, I've lost two pins on two seperate occasions on the 3pt. arms that raise the mower deck, one on each side. I keep those in stock now in my shed
The only other thing I'd like to see is a more accurate,
lineal fuel gauge. This thing will go for over an hour mowing after the guage hits empty. Deere rates the fuel capacity at 7.1 Gallons, but on two occasions of being on "empty" the tank would not hold 5.3 gallons of new fuel.
I know that there is an amout of "reserve", but over 1.8 gallons?? Of course this now spills all over my tractor
It seems that once you graduate to the 3000 series you also get a "stupid" light that comes on when your really low. I'd really love to see that "stupid" light, well as a third speed transmission selection range on the next series. I looked at the 3000 series and loved everything about the 3520, except for the size.
This 2520, with a 72" MMM and Hyd. Dump Power Pak MCS is the nastiest, most manuverable, lawn cutting, leaf sucking, Mo'Fo' I've seen yet!
