This topic came up back when I first got my 2720 back in 2010. I now have 300+ hours on the machine but the problem still exist. I Had the unit run away on me on a down hill crawl a week ago that could have been a real problem if I didn't drop the ballast box to slow me down. Kept the bucket off the ground so I could control my direction. Yes, I was on a steep incline and on loose dirt, so the rear tires just stopped and slid away!
Does any one know if JD ever came up with a fix for this? seems to be a common problem in the 2520 also, as I remember several discussions on the topic back when I first questioned it in 2010. It also seem to be happening much more often as of late. I love this little CUT but have had several problems with a recurring high pressure line splitting in the weld seam at a bend where it goes into the banjo fitting at the SCV under the seat, and at $450+ a pop plus shipping, and JD refusing to re call the lines, I am a little pissed at them. This is also a problem in the 2520 which is the same tractor with less HP. this was also a topic heavily discussed back then, with no answers from John Deere and absolutely No help from my dealer.
