For the past seven years I have used a 3pt snowblower with an Orginal Cab on my 2305. I just picked up a complete used 47" front mount blower from the dealer. My question is what is the experience with the front window and the snowblower? Should I invest in the front wiper kit for the original cab?

I am thinking of building 8x16 stall to house pigs in the barn. This will be mostly freestanding inside of a lean-to. One of the ways I am thinking of doing this is using 4x4x8 post in the corner and at the center of the 16' run where the gate is. One end would have 4x6x8 post to add another...

I ordered a 60" DR Power Grader back in April to try out and to see if it really worked. They had a sale price, free shipping, extended warranty, and 1 year trial. I figured I could get some work out of in a year and not be out to awful much if it didn't work. My driveway is 200 yards long and...

For the last two years I have mowed the roadside (1/4) mile along the west side of the property with my MMM on my 2305 raised just a bit. This year I have decided not to mow it with the MMM since it can takes some time doing. I have been looking at a few King Kutter rough cut mowers and am...

I picked up a Mulch kit yesterday for the 62c deck. I put on both baffles and then the blades. I turned the drive shaft by hand and found the blade near the discharge and the middle were coming in contact with the baffle. I thought I installed the blades according to the directions but after...

I put an Original Cab on my 2305 last week and started looking on ways to keep warm with it. I liked the way the gentleman used the Golf Cart heater, but it seemed every time I found one on the internet it was around $100. So yesterday I went shopping for a 12v fan to help with fogging. While at...

I am thinking about trying some meat chickens. I would like to go with a fixed coop. Do you need one that you can move around to different grass areas. I am not getting them to make money just more for the enjoyment of eating my own chickens. I figure I would get 25. From what I can figure I...

I picked up a 60" lawn roller this past spring. Instead of using water and have to worry about emptying it every winter I am thinking of putting in sand. Is there an easier way other than getting a big funnel and shoveling the sand into the funnel?

I picked up my 2305 last August and have the 62" deck and independent lift. I did the 50 hour service including changing out the hydraulic oil. The oil level is 1/2 to 3/4 in the sight glass. When I first start up the 2305 the independent lift will lift the deck at idle. After mowing for an hour...

I just picked up a heavy duty roller that is 60" wide. I took around 110-120 gallons of water to fill it. I just rolled my lawn but may be using it again and its supposed to drop down to 30 on Sunday night and 25 on Monday night. Should I be on the safe side and go ahead and dump it all back...

Looking for some advice. I need to plow snow on about 1/4 acre gravel parking lot and 200 yard gravel lane. I currently have a 2305 with R4's 200cx loader and have been using a 7' rear blade. Up until our 8" snow fall the other day everything went well with this combo. Then after I got the 8"...

They cut the beans yesterday so I was able to start planning my new garden/grass area. It will end up being about 1/4 of an acre new grass & garden. There is fertilizer coming for the entire field but I had to get out and try out the subsoiler. So I only made a few passes. I am gonna run the...

I would like to get some thoughts. I am wanting to build a bigger kennel outside for our St. Bernard. I am wanting to build one about 20x20 or so. I am thinking of using 5ft t-post and 6ft 2x4 welded wire mesh for the fence. I would put the t-post every 4ft. I havent come up with a way to do the...

The dealer finally got my 200cx loader in and got it installed. Before the install my hydraulic fluid showed in the proper level. After installing the loader I noticed it was a bit lower while it was on but still ok. I took the loader off tonight a mowed and found the oil to be real low. How...

Dealer finally got in my 200cx loader and ballast box for the 2305. They picked it up today at 10:30 and dropped it back off about 4:30. My co-worker who also lives right down the road was very kind to let me try it out on moving his big pile of dirt after his new pool was put in. First thing I...
