Good afternoon everyone. While clearing brush from land being cleared I backed into a small stump and bent my tie-rod bar. I caught the stump just enough with my right front tire and bent the bar. The tire now faces the 11 o'clock position. Easily removed the bar and planned to get a new one...

Hauling cut pieces to the splitter on a very hot summer day.

Hi all, I picked up a never used 48" snowplow setup for my JD GT225 garden tractor, the price was too good to pass even though I really didn't need it. I would like to set up the GT for use in the small snows and use the 2720 tractor plow for the occasional big ones. The other day I tested...

Some may not like this repair but it was cheap and has held up. It could use a fresh coat of green duct tape.

Good evening all My new grapple and rotary cutter came home this week, got to use them one afternoon then it started raining and may never stop:mad:. Anyway the grapple is 52" wide- 1/2" steel from a Florida company called 'WEAReduction'. Paul Green was my contact and was VERY helpful. I...

Out doing some "dozer" work with the 2720 yesterday afternoon, clearing some overgrown land to turn into yard, while pushing some small logs I felt something sharp poke my arm. Looked down to see yellow jackets swarming up. I HATE yellow jackets!! No where to go backwards, forward would have put...

Hi all I'm looking to buy a grapple for my 2720. I like the style of the one in the picture below but it weighs about 500LBS. My FEL has a lift capacitiy of 560LBS according to my implement brochure, of course it can lift more. The builder tells me he can make it 4ft, reduce the number or teeth...

This will be my first winter using a tractor(2720) and front plow(54") for snow removal. I would like to keep the backhoe on the tractor, it won't be in the way for plowing but I'm wondering if it'll be to much weight on the back end plowing up hill. I have a hilly gravel driveway and our snows...

The waits over, the 2720 with fel and backhoe has arrived. Wow, what a machine. With thunderstorms almost every day I've only put 1 hour on the machine but have seen what it can do. Back draging the driveway, dug up a few small stumps, a little brush pile plowing with the bucket. Yard work has...

Hi everyone, After 3 months of reading TBN, planning and learning, I finally bought a JD2720 with fel-53" bucket, 46 backhoe and 54"front blade. I'm waiting on the hoe, so my tractor sits 28 miles away in the dealers lot. Dealer says at the latest mid July.:eek: Is it mid July yet? Time is...
