    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: JD 2320 Idle

    Re: JD 2320 Idle For those 2320 owners out there, when you pull the throttle back to the idle position, what RPM does your machine idle at? Cheers,

    RE: 2320 Connections at rear near 3pt

    RE: 2320 Connections at rear near 3pt I am curious about what the Electrical plugs just above the 3pt are for and was wondering if anyone knows what they are for? They are tied up with Banana like plugs. Cheers,

    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...
