Recently when plowing I've noticed that there is a slight vibration when moving forward or backward when 4wd is engaged. I don't remember noticing this the last 2 seasons so I wanted to see if anyone else with a 2305 or similar tractor has noticed this. I feel this when going straight so it...

The other day I went to start the tractor and when I turned the key nothing happened. So I jump started it and everything was fine. I ran it for 30+ minutes shut it down then tried to start it and nothing again. I put the battery on a charger overnight then tried to start it the next day and...

My engine has been making a ticking noise when it is cold ever since the first oil change, at least that's when I remember first noticing it. When the engine warms up the noise goes away. For the first oil change I used John Deere 15W-40 which is what the dealer gave me when I asked for oil...

When my mowing height adjustment dial is turned to the highest setting the blade height is around or just under 3". I tried playing around with the yokes but for some reason when have the left side set up so that the lift arm comes within 2mm of the frame stop and on the right side I have to...

Well things were going smoothly with my 2305 service until I got to the part where you have to take off the transmission suction screen. I can't get it out. Anyone else been through this and have any suggestions? I can't get the suction hose off of the suction screen cover. Then even if I do...

Finally time for the 50hr service. My question is should I change the hydro fluid with the loader on or off? I'm assuming off because the fluid probably wouldn't drain out of the lines anyway but I wanted to double check. Thanks.

I recently tried to get my 54" MMM back on my 2305 and I can't get it back on. I did this a few times last year but it's been just about a year so I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or if the collar on the drive shaft has a problem. When you hook the drive shaft up to the pto are you...

My father has a 4115 and when I was at his house the other day we started it up and the diesel smell was much stronger than my 2305. Does anyone know if that is normal for that tractor? I can hardly smell the diesel when using my 2305 but even driving the 4115 around the yard the smell is...

Just curious what RPM other 2305 owners are using for mowing with MMM and what kind of fuel consumption you are seeing when mowing?

I've had my 2305 for just over a week now and with 4.5 hours on it the transmission seemed to be noisy so I checked the transmission fluid level. There was no fluid visible in the window so I went to buy 2 quarts. I put in both quarts and still no fluid showing so I went back and bought a...

The specs in the manual and the brochure say 17.9kW/24HP but my engine says 18.8kW which I guess would be 25 HP. Anyone else have a 2305 that says something different than 18.8kW on the engine itself? Not that one horsepower is a big difference but if my engine is really 25HP I'd like to...

After months of decision making and weeks of waiting for the machine to be ready I finally picked it up today. I played with the tractor for an hour or so just moving leaves and sticks in the bucket, even tried out float mode for picking up piles of leaves, worked great. This is a great...

I am currently waiting for arrival of my new 2305 but I have a question about a tiller for it. I'm not looking to buy one so my question is not what size is the best fit but whether or not this tractor can handle a 60" tiller? A friend of mine has a New Holland 60" tiller for his Boomer...

I just ordered a 2305 with 200cx loader and was poking around on Stonehams.com while I wait for the new machine to arrive. I noticed that the speed of the loader as far as raising and lowering is much slower on the newer machine. Does anyone know if the specifications are accurate? It says...

I recently asked people's opinions on the 200x vs. 200cx loader so now I'm clear on that but I have some other questions. First of all I'm going to buy a 2305 for mowing and snow removal and misc. other light duty tasks. I'm now trying to decide whether I should get a front blade for plowing...

Can someone tell me the difference between these 2 loaders and if you think it is worth the extra money for the 200CX. I know that the CX has it's own stand so you can unhook and drive back up to it but other than that I don't know the difference. I'm looking to buy a 2305 and I'm trying to...

I am looking to purchase a larger tractor than my GT235 for plowing snow and mowing(only an acre). I am considering the X585 or the 2305. One thing that is important to me is to be able to plow just about any snowstorm that hits. I don't want a plow and a snowblower so if the X585 won't be up...
