A few days ago I was moving some heavy rocks on my property. While dumping a large rock, my bucket refused to curl from the dump position causing me to shout ~~!! What the **** now~~!! within seconds I smelled hydraulic fluid and noticed it spitting from above the Belly deck. Turns out, I blew a...

At a serious loss here after installing a 23Hp Brigs Vanguard in my JD 318 where everything that could go wrong went wrong. Now at the end of my witt with the seller and at the end of my rope, I cannot get the front PTO to work. the 3 wires from my harness seem to be dead for some reason, and I...

My 2010 JD 2720 had a new twist yesterday that I have never seen the likes of. I was working a small pile of dirt from one spot to another when I notices a wobble on my left front wheel. Stopped and set the load down to inspect, and could not believe what I was looking at. The rim had split...

2 days ago out in the front yard mowing away when I hear a loud POP!! that i Thought was aa rock in the blade tray, but I was up along a wall and nothing came flying out. This set me to thinking this was strange. Minutes later I pulled up infront of my workshop to blow off the engine as I...

Quick question for anyone that may know. I have been looking for a backhoe for a while now for my JD 2720 and since JD has not successfully built the 270 backhoe to fit the 2520 & 2720, I am forced to look elsewhere. I saw an add on a company that builds a 3 pt hitch PTO driven hoe but their...

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...

Can someone please walk me through how to post a video from my I pad to this forum? It's driving me crazy!!! help!!

John Deere 22720 and 2520 high pressure hydraulic line ruptures. I have the misfortune of having my 2720 high pressure line blow out now for the second time. I am looking to any and all 2720 and 2520 owners to sound off on this issue if this has ever happened to your machine. When this happened...

I have the misfortune of having my 2720 high pressure line blow out now for the second time. I am looking to any and all 2720 and 2520 owners to sound off on this issue if this has ever happened to your machine. When this happened the first time , my dealer replaced the line and said JD was...

Question to anyone with a 2720 JD compact tractor. Just a quick check into a problem that I am having for the second time with my JD 2720 high pressure line blowing out at the final bend where it enters the control system for the joy stick as I call it. Machine has 341 hours on it now, and...

I posted this this morning on parts / repairs but thinks I may get an answer here quicker. Really need info on how the regulator rectifier is wired from the harness and which terminals does the Stator wires go to. Not sure where to turn from there. Help!!! earlier JD 318 problem No...

No spark!! Help !! Seemed to have a run and stop issue for a little while , where the unit would just shut down, but later it will re start and run as it should. A while back it went down and would not re start. I changed the coil and that solved the problem for a while. About 4 weeks ago it...

Been a while since I posted here , and I still have the same question regarding the 270 hoe as posted by JD 2 years ago. It seems the 270 backhoe was designed to be installed without having to remove the hydraulic lifter for my MMM or the three point hitch, which is the main reason for that...

Quick question for anyone that may know. Has the 270 backhoe been released by JD as yet or if anyone knows when they plan on releasing it?? I really do not want to go with the 46 because I don't want the work involved in removing the 62D MMM and hydraulic lift ,along with the 3PT hitch. The...

Its been a while since I loooked into this but am still very interested in that 270 backhoe for my 2720 . Has anyone been able to buy one as yet? did JD ever put them out on the Market? Wooden

Re posting a question on the 270 backhoe . I had read they would be released in the fall so I am wondering if anyone was able to buy one as yet and how is it's performance? Seems as advertised by JD, you no longer need to remove the lifting brackets for the MMM with this unit and so it...

I have read about the new 270 backhoe back in July but it had not been released as yet and would be ready in the fall. Has anyone been able to buy one as yet and if so what's the thoughts on it?? Thanks

I am at 100 hours now with my 2720 and need to change my oil. Anyone know how much oil I need to buy? 3 qts? 4 qts? Book does not say.

Thinking about building a skid plate for my 2720 to protect the bottom of my tractor. Something that would attach in place of the MMM using the same lift gear. Just looks like too many things under there that can be damaged when going through high bush. Anyone here ever done this? may be of...

I posted this on another tread and figured I try it here. My problem with all this is, I watched the JD video before buying my 2720 and in the Video they showed the operator backing up to the backhoe and picking it up, got off to connect the hydraulics and drove away. This I come to find out...

Quick question for anyone that may know. My 2720 just crossed 65 hours and I am thinking it's time for my first oil change. I use fully synthetic 10W30oils in all my vehicles including my JD 318, however these are all gasoline engines I have had great results using Royal purple or Mobile one...

I got an I match hitch to make life easy with my bush hog, only to find out that the center hook allows the floating link on the Taylor way bush hog to roll out of the hook when it takes the weight. Would anyone here recommend welding that link so it can't move? Seems like the only way I will...

My High pressure line was shipped on the 2Nd and should be here in 3 to 5 days. According to my dealer in FL this part was re called by JD , so anyone with a 2520 or 2720 bought in late 2010 early 2011 should call their dealer to find out what they need to do. I am not saying that all these...

Question for anyone who has access to JDparts. I For some reason , because of where I live,I am not allowed to access the parts site, because I am in the Virgin Islands and there are no official dealers here. I need someone with acceess to look up part # lva803201 and find out if, and how many...

High pressure line blow out at the bend where it meets the connector under the seat. I have never seen one of these lines fail before. Seems to be a split in a weld if in fact this is a sheet metal that was rolled and electronically welded. Problem is JD sold out of these parts just when mine...
