Hey guys... We picked up an 80a piece this spring. There are two 2 acre ponds and another 15+ acres brush, trees, rough fence lines and so on. Initially I planned to put a backhoe on our Deere 3520 but have decided to just get a mini instead of paying the 11k for this backhoe and thumb...

I've only had 4'-5' tillers and had no clue what these big boys sell for new (for the heavy duty ones). I have an 82" that came as a package deal with a tractor. The guy I bought it from buys anything that trips his trigger on a particular day... then the next day he's on to something else. I...

My uses... about 15-20 acres of brush, trees, clean up and two 1.5-2 acre ponds that I'll be cleaning up shorelines on (overgrowth-grass, weeks, small trees). Good Midwest Iowa medium to soft dirt on the property... I'm sure there will be rocks, but nothing overly hard here (I'm assuming)...

Hey guys! I have a 3120/300x that I've had for a handful of years that I absolutely love... easily handled the tasks around the 6 acres we own. I mow just 2-3 acres right now with a ZT so no need for a mower at this point. We now have 80 acres... 60 tillable and rented... the other 20 acres has...

Hey guys... can someone give me a total length of their 4120 and 3720 fully rigged up (w/FEL & backhoe)? I'll likely be making a run to pick up one or the other shortly... I need to get my trailer thing figured out. As a side not (because I'll get a equipment trailer too), I'm curious if anyone...

1st dump trailer as tractor hauler... Lo Profile vs standard? PJ, Loadtrail, H & H Hey guys... I'm buying our first dump trailer (non commercial use) that will double as our JD 3120 compact hauler (w/FEL & hitch comes in @ about 13'6") I'd love to do the 14' and could squeeze a box blade in to...

Haven't look it over but the yellow PTO switch on the dash doesn't stay up well when pulled on. I'm assuming this is a simple fix/replace. Any thing I should know regarding these little switches? Thanks!

Anyone have one of these? Thanks!

Anyone buy these forks 48" Pallet Forks for John Deere 200 300 400 500 Loaders | eBay or http://www.ebay.com/itm/48-John-Deere-Pallet-Fork-Attachment-500-Series-Loaders-deer-/300932912327?pt=US_Heavy_Equipment_Attachments&hash=item4610ffd4c7 ? The 48" forks seem reasonable enough... curious how...

Well, I've been all over the place with little tractors.... I started with a LX188, then 325, to my 425 (man, this was a good unit to me) then my first "tractor" 2210, went to a 2520, back to a 2305 and now with our current move just picked up a 2007 3120. It's got 900 hours, used and maybe even...

Hey guys... I just picked up a used '07 3120. Overall it seems like a good unit other than the fact that the received bar bracket mount is broke. The gal I bought it from put her husband in the nursing home and she knew nothing about the tractor which is why she unloaded. Anyway, everything else...

Talking about the s-cuts of course. I used to have one of the first years out and am leaning towards going back to one as we're going to have more property to maintain shortly. My questions aren't what they'll do but if there have been any improvements since they were released (I believe...

I can't seem to find much about this brand. Made in MO... Web site says they've been around since '97. The trailers I'm thinking about buying are both lighter weight 7000 tandem trailers (16' utility w/rear gate & 18' utility with removable sides (on 1 side only and no rear gate). Trailers are...

Looking to pick up a bigger trailer for my tractor and other stuff. My current trailer (H & H 6 x 12) is the perfect trailer for everything I need except for a tractor hauler. I rarely tow my 2305 anywhere but when I do, it's typically just with the mower or snowblower so my trailer has served...

Hey guys... Curious what ya think... I'm familiar with the 2000 series having owned a 2210, 2520 and now a 2305. But I'm curious what others think. My 2305 more than fills my needs right now (mowing/maintaining 1.5 acres & very light work on a couple investment properties I take care of)...

There's a cab off a 425 available locally. Curious if anyone converted a 400 series cab to there 2210 or 2305? Thanks guys...

Having gone from my 2210 to a 2520 and then back to a 2305... I thought I'd post some of my thoughts on the machines.... I sold my 2520 about a month ago. For those who followed my ad's, I sold it for $16,250... if curious ( I would be ) I also attached a few pics which can be found here...

Last night while blowing snow my unit like others started clanking and making noise. The auger (in the shoot) was clanking against the front of the housing. So tonight I pulled things apart just a bit to get a little more aquatinted with my blower :cool: . I attached a pic that shows a couple...

Few pics... http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d...00/100_0420.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d...00/100_0414.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d...00/100_0411.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d...00/100_0408.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d...00/100_0407.jpg

Winter is here and the snow is falling. We saw 5-6" last weekend and another 5-6 last night. Here are a few pics... I asked my wife to snap a few for me. The 1st is a short video clip that's all over the place... she thought she was snapping a pic but didn't switch it off video :D :D ... Thought...

Ooops.... some how I double posted... ignore this one :)

Ok... wishful thinking. But I recently picked up a Frontier 3pt broadcast spreader. With minor modifications (to make i-Match compatible), it's ready to go... Think spring :D . http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d65/shawk00/PICT0321.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d65/shawk00/PICT0315.jpg...

Kudos to steves2356 (IL) in the classifieds:) ... Just met up with him and picked up a 3pt Frontier Spreader. He may have another still available at a GREAT price and I know he's got a new Frontier Finish Mower and possibly another item or two in the classifieds. We don't have a feedback folder...

Pics before and after of the tranny screen cleaned today while changing fluids on a 2210 I picked up... COOL concept inside the filter. There are a couple long magnets that work with the filter in picking up the metal shavings. :cool...

eBay: NEW LAWN GRASS AERATOR SANDALS AERATION SPIKES SHOES (item 320062521916 end time Dec-19-06 17:58:51 PST) Ok... be honest... who has a set of these instead of an aerator??? I suppose they could play double duty if you need an extra pair of golf shoes as well...:D

Guys, I just listed my 2520 in the classifieds at bottom dollar price... no dickering... just priced to move. I found my little replacement so it's priced to go :) . Any questions... let me know :cool:

Well.... IF it snows, I believe I'm ready. I'd prefer no snow :D ... but if it happens I'm ready to go. I attached a couple pics... http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d65/shawk00/1.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d65/shawk00/11.jpg

Anyone have pics of their 54" front blades with extensions?? Thanks :)

Will a bucket off a 430 mount on a 200cx? Thanks guys....

I picked up a barely used 2 stage 47" snowblower today that came off a 4110. According to the JD web site everything is identical except for the front PTO on the 4010, 4100, 4110, 4115, 2320 & 2520's... So I thought I'd bring it home hook it up and I'd be good to go :confused: :D . Is there a...

Just a quick tidbit of info for those who may want to know.... My tractor came w/loader and the turfs reversed... rear width was 54"... I switched them tonight to a narrower stance and they now measure 52 1/4"...

My neighbor called me Tues night.... "mini van is stuck, can you come help out?" ;) They just moved into their new home last spring and the yard is still a muddy mess. The van sat just off the make-shift drive in the "grass." We were latching onto the van with his SUV when I decided to go get my...

Well.... yep, I'm contemplating unloading my beautiful tractor. My initial thoughts are that possibly someone here might have a 2305 (possibly consider 2210) they'd like to trade up for (with cash of course... smart alecs... ). Thoughts?? Trades?? Tell me I'm absolutely nutz...

.....

I called customer service yesterday about the free filter coupon. The rep knew exactly what I was talking about and told me that it was simply a randon drawing promo. I haven't received anything and probably won't... Would be nice though :) ... She made it sound like it was over now. Glad...

Here's a short followup to the original mini review I posted several months ago ( http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/jd-buying-pricing/77838-john-deere-2520-mini-review.html ). Any little tidbits of info were extremely helpful to me while looking... so hopefully I may be able to provide a little...

Not a true review but here it is anyway. A fellow TBN'r sent me a private message with questions and here was my reply. Thought maybe it might be useful to someone... Ok... here we go... 1. How does it do for "Lawn Mowing" on your 1.5 acres??? I've only logged 6 hours on my tractor so far...

Here we go... I love to ask for pics so I need to post 'em as well . I ordered my 2520 around the middle of Jan and it was delivered Wed of this week. Put it to work for a couple hours today for the first time... WOW, this is a machine. It's already a little dirty but here are the pics and...

What\'s in your garage??? JD tractor edition... Thought it would be fun & helpful to see what everyone is using around there place. List as many details as you can think of or just list your tractor and attachments. If you want to list pros/cons of anything your tested or used... please do...

Thought this info might to helpful to a few others as well. Found this on JD's web site... lists approx weights per bucket loads (all struck capacity & includes a bucket weight of 153lbs)... Most owners here seem to recommend a bucket that is just wide enough to cover your tracks. I was also...

Well, the order has been placed... After much debate and already snapping pics of my kids on what was to be "our 2305" I chose to go for the larger tractor. Here's the order. -2520 w/ added front lights and rear work light -R4 tires -62D Onramp... no independent lift. -200cx loader...

I'll post lots of pics once the tractor is sitting in my garage... If there's anything specific anyone would like to see, just post a reply and I'll do my best to get it posted. Order was placed on 12/16/05 for... JD 2305 200cx loader 62c deck Front light kit R4 tires Today I decided to...

Long story short.... I've been hashing the two tractors over far toooo long . One of the things that bothered me on the 2305 was the lighter rated axles. According to the JD site, the 2305 axle specs are rated at approx 1/2 the capacity of the 2210. Sooo, I picked up the phone today and talked...

Thanks to the many that responded to my many questions... In return I will now attempt to return the favor and keep others updated as well. From initial signing to delivery and shortly after I'll try to update this post. When I receive the tractor I'll try to answer questions as well for any who...

Ok guys... I've been reeled in and it looks as though I'm going to order a 2305 tomorrow (1st brand new tractor ever). I'm not a financing nut, but the offering of 0% for 2 years and a solid offer on my trade in (2210) is making it to hard to pass up. I'm going with the 200cx loader & 62c...

Trading/selling my 2210...Who\'s traded for a 2305? Thinking of trading in my 04' 2210 w/265 hrs for a new 2305... What kind of trade $'s did you spend? My 2210 isn't perfect but it's really nice... I have the 210 loader and 62c deck. I have a couple quotes being worked on and will know...

Dealer thought it was 10-15 years old... I think it's much older however it's in great shape... Better buying a new one or is this a good unit? Thanks

Would use strickly for snow removal... curious if the 5' or 6' blade will rotate all the way around without detaching?? Thanks guys!

I'm curious who's using what to remove snow... I used a JD 425 w/54" blade to clear my old drive (approx 200' drive plus parking in front of garage-rock drive). I've moved and now have a shorter drive which is only about 100' x 12' lane & approximately 40' in width in front of the garage. I...
