    Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Cutting / Groving / Siping R-4 for snow

    I took a different pattern I can tell you that it improved my overall traction dramatically in the snow and ice. Maybe not as well as R3's and not like chains, but an overall improvement for sure.

    PTO Generator

    Need some advice. I think I'll start drinking after this XMAS.... Here in Southern NB, we have had big power issues due to basically a 3 day ice storm that has left many parts still with no power. We lost power here on the 23rd and actually got it back late on XMAS eve just in time to have...

    Re: R4 Grooving

    Re: R4 Grooving I just wanted to post pictures of the recent grooving of my R4 tires. I can confirm that it does make a noticeable difference in the snow... Not a replacement for chains or maybe even R3's, but there is a difference. I ended up doing the front the same as the rear as I figure...

    Looking for some opinions

    I am looking for some opinions. I currently have a 2320 with a Rear 54" blower and 72" rear blade and have a pretty sloped driveway that is quite long and is gravel. I bought the 2320 as the house was new and had difficulty getting quotes for snow removal as most companies here use truck...

    RE: 2320 and front driveshaft

    RE: 2320 and front driveshaft Can anyone tell me if their 2320 has any grease zerks on the front driveshaft? It doesn't appear mine does so I am concerned about the longevity. The HST shaft has them (Dreaded front location) Cheers,

    My Idiot Moment

    So my tractor has been dropping some hydro fluid on the floor of my garage from one of the FEL QC's. I know which one and have cleaned it out but there must be an issue with the O-Ring. The strange part is that it doesn't leak when running, only after you shut it down. Overnight there will be...

    Guild of Attachments

    I have been mulling over an idea that probably will not make sense here in New Brunswick where I live but would most likely make sense in larger more dense areas. I have a Tractor and a couple of attachments, but from time to time it would be great to have more attachments for simple projects...

    Lawn and Landscaping

    I need some advice. I am planning on doing some landscaping for my house which was built last year. I have a JD 2320 with a rear blade at this point in time but might be looking for a landscaping rake as to help with the landscaping tasks. We ended up leveling in the summer last year and...

    Snow Blower and Gravel Driveway

    I recently picked up a JD 2320 with a SB1154 rear blower this year to handle clearing my driveway. My house is new and the main part of the driveway is 3/4 minus. I know it is best to not blow the first snowfall and all that stuff, but in all honesty, the weather lately makes all of these...

    2320 Full Throttle Rear Snow Blower Harmonic Vibration

    I am wondering if there are any other 2320 owners with a rear blower that find at Full Throttle there is a bit of a harmonic whine around the HST filter. I didn't notice it before, so I can't tell if it related to cold hydraulic fluid. I can make it stop by grabbing the left rear fender. Drop...

    Re: 2320 and off seat PTO

    Re: 2320 and off seat PTO I for the life of me can't figure out how to operate the PTO while off the seat of my 2320. I have tried: 1.. Flipping the seat forward 2.. Tractor in Neutral, parking brake on, PTO engage Each time I engage the PTO, the tractor quits. I am planning on buying a PTO...

    JD 2320 and 3tnv76

    Just Curious, I have been doing some looking at the specs of the 2320 and have noticed that JD list the engine at 24.1 HP. When you look at the Yanmar site for details on the 3tnv76, it lists 25HP at 3200 RPMs? The 2320 specs list the (rated) RPM as 3000 RPM but the max operating at 3170 RPM...

    RE: LED Work Lights

    Re: LED Work Lights Thanks for the info. Never thought of the marine side for the switches. They are held on by cable ties but they are in a bracket that has a large flat part that is where the cable ties come in. There are a number of them there and there is no movement so I would think...

    RE: LED Work Lights

    RE: LED Work Lights I recently picked up a new to me JD 2320 and as part of the deal I asked the Dealer to install some worklights. The tractor only has a 20 Amp altenator so going LED was really the only way to go in my mind unless I upgraded the altenator. The problem was that the dealer...

    Dirty Seat

    Hi folks, I recently picked up a new to me JD 2320 that appears to have spent some time outside. The paint is a little faded, which I will fix with a good wax, but the seat is pretty dirty and it appears to be baked right into it. I tried Spray Nine and some other cleaners with no luck...

    My 2320 So Far

    I just wanted to share some of my thoughts on my JD 2320 from coming from a BX25 just in case anyone is in a simular situation. From other post I made, I picked the JD 2320 over a new B2620 mainly due to price as it was used with only 130 hrs. There was nothing like it used around here, so the...

    RE: New to me 2320

    RE: New to me 2320 Hi Folks, It looks like I am joining the green team. I started out really with an eye on a Kubota as I have owned one in the past, but ended up with a used 2008 JD 2320. I had quotes on a new JD 1023, 1026, then a 2320 along with Kubota B 2230's, 2620's , 2920's, and...

    JD 2320 and 3pt Snow Blower

    I have been looking at the possibility of going green with a 2320 for my property and have 2 different JD dealers selling me a 2320 package with one having a 54" Frontier Rear Blower and the other a 64" Gut feeling is that a 64 is too large for a 2320? Looking for advice.... Cheers,

    I have a BX25 with 160 or so hours on it and I have noticed a couple of strange things with a couple of items. If someone could check their machine, it would be appreciated. I need to know if there is a problem or I am just paranoid. The items are: 1.. With the bucket in the air, I can rock...

    BX25 Loader Manifold Leak

    I have been working my BX25 pretty hard these days with lots of loader work and about a week ago I sprung a leak from one of the O-Rings on one of the connectors on the loader control manifold located down by your feet. The O-Ring was destroyed. Of course, the dealer says they have never heard...

    BX 25 and Relief Valve

    For those who are interested, I just finished my pressure test of my BX25. It turns out that my tractor was only running just over 1750 PSI. I bumped it up to around 1950 or so, a little over the scale but not much. The proceedure was dirt simple and took literally 10 minutes total. The...

    Guys, I am coming up on the 50 hour mark on my BX25 and I was planning on heading into the dealer today to pick up the required filters and fluids for the 50 hour service. I was looking in the manual and it shows for the 50 hour service to just replace the filter and clean the screen for the...

    I bought a BX25 almost a month ago and I have been happily working it in my yard ever since. The majority of my yard is heavily treed and I have been using the tractor to cleanup the dead trees and remove some other trees. It is an amazing machine. My issue comes with the vulnerabilty of the...

    BX25 Alternator or Dynamo

    I am looking under the hood of my new BX25 and I am wondering what the capacity is of the charging system of my BX25. I would like to add some work lights and it appears that the tractor has a small automotive style alternator. Is this an alternator or a dynamo? What is it rated for? Cheers,

    BX25 Photos

    Well here are my first photos of my BX25. I woke up this morning and went right outside to start work on my yard. Ripped out some shrubs and did some logging. I am totally impressed with this machine! I was using a chain to bring dead trees out of the woods to cut and burn and it dawned on...

    New BX25 Question

    Well, My new BX25 arrived last night and I already have 4 hours on the unit making a mess of my yard. I love it! It is going to take a couple times getting the hang of the BH but so far I have been able to dig holes pretty easy. I also removed my first stump. I have found the machine more...
