Just got the 3320/300CX/375 BH home yesterday (yes, pictures are coming!). I have a question about removing/storing the 375. Has anyone fabricated some kind of a dolly system for the 375 that makes it possible to move the BH around on a concrete floor? I have a few concrete pilings to dig...

It was a bit of a wait but it was well worth it! I kept my 54" deck to use as a rough cut mower (please don't cringe too much!). The person who bought my X585 wanted a 62" anyways and valued the 54" at $500 so I thought I couldn't go wrong. Can't wait to let the lawn get really long to try...

The last job by my 2720 before it got dropped off to it's new owner. The 3320 is in, just getting the TnT installed and it should be "home" in a week! Picked up the X748 last nights. Photos on the Lawn forum.

Spring is around the corner (today will be the first time above 0/32f in 3 weeks!) so it is time to get ordering a 3320. Reason for the 3320 vs my 2720 is loader capacity. Love the 2720 (60 hours) and is a great tag team with the X585 (will be replacing it with a 748 in the same purchase)...

without the 2720 helping out. I had a 500 lb propane tank I wasn't using, and found someone who could, so it was time to move it today. As you can see, the tank was buried under a bit of snow. No problem for the 200CX to deal with that part of the move. The tank was a bit frozen in so there...

We've had a few feet of snow in the past couple of weeks so the opportunity to use the 'blower was seized! The X585/47" blower combo has always worked exceptionally well. It never boggs out and traction is always better than I think it should be with turfs. Only concern is that it's -27 out...

My 4 year old X585 with 120 hours on it has had no problems...till today. Part way through plowing some light snow, the engine started to bog down a bit, and the EFI light started to flash on every 2-3 seconds for about 2 second each time. I shut down, let the engine cool etc., and restarted...

Does anyone know if there is a manufacturer who fabricates extensions for the 54" blade. I have plenty of power to push more snow, but by the time I get my plow angled to handle the depth, I don't accomplish too much. If I could add 8-12 inches on each side, it would reduce up my time...

Now that I have a 2720, I'm looking to potentially sell my X585 and purchase a X748 or some variety of the X700 series (diesel), One of the reasons...my wife (bless her for trying!) was getting ready to plow some snow, and she was just about to use a yellow jerry can to fill up the 'gas'tank...

Advice please as to what level of RPMs I should turn off my 2720 at, so that I'll have the right throttle amount when I start up. My tractor tends to sit for a few weeks between usage (not sure if that matters), and I want to make sure it has the right level of rpms etc. when I start it...

I'm looking to buy pallets forks for my 2720/200CX. My dealer has recommended Frontier floating forks (he didn't know the model # at the time). He said the floating would be more versatile for different jobs. Thoughts if you agree the Frontier floating forks are a good way to go, or any...

I plan to purchase a landscape rake to do several jobs around the yard (smoothing dirt for seeding, leveling the gravel driveway etc.) My JD dealer thinks a Westward 5' is the way to go, though he can't tell me why a Frontier wouldn't work as well. Can anyone give me advice as to makes and...

I'm trying to hook up the power beyond hydraulic line to my back hoe. I can't close the collar on either of the ends, however when I reconnect the power beyond to itself, no problem. That leads me to believe I have pressure in the back hoe lines. I've moved all the levers back and forth etc...

Here's a few photos of my recent purchase. Thanks very much to everyone for your help in sharing your thoughts about which machine would be best. It was a tough decision, but now that I've had a few days to play, I think I made the right choice. Along with the 200cx and backhoe, I purchased...

Hi All. I have been a member for awhile and one post so far... I read all the JD threads with great interest and have learned a ton. Thanks to all for that. I have a '05 X585 that I use to cut 2 acres and for spraying etc. I love the machine and don't plan to trade it in. My plans for the...
