    JD 2520 Two Year Battery Issue

    I have seen on this forum that others have had the 2 year battery issue. Lately when I would try to start my 2520 it would act like a dead battery but would try to start. I would keep trying and once it would turn over it would start the tractor. Once it started I could use it then shut it off...

    Welding vs Bolt on

    Which would be stronger the welded on trailer D-rings if weld is about 1'' on each side of bracket vs bolt on D-rings with 2 bolts 1/2'' grade 8 course thread or would they be about the same? Does the welded one become part of the trailer and not a weak point?

    How do you secure JD2520 to trailer straps or chains

    I just bought a pj utility trailer 83" x 16' includes 2' beavertail to haul my 2520 and would like some input about how everyone secures their load. Pictures of a secured JD 2520 would be great. I am planning on chains on 4 corners with straps as backups as I always over secure if I can.

    What trailer do you tow your JD2520 with?

    What trailer do you tow your JD 2520 with? I am thinking a 16' ( 14' w/2' dovetail ) would be fine for the tractor with loader and tiller based on measurements. Just not sure if it is long enough to adjust balance the load. Tractor with loader and 655 tiller should be around 3000#.

    JD 2520 brush cutter attachment

    I am trying to decide which would be best fit for my JD2520 a RC 2048 or a RC 2060. I am leaning toward the RC 2048 any thoughts. You can get them with rubber front and metal rear guards or for extra cost chains front and rear. Which is better. Thanks

The pto shaft came with a slip clutch so I was surprised it did not slip but just shut down the tractor. After checking other posts about the slip...
