So I just got a Good deal on a complete set front and rear R3 Turf tires and wheels for my JD2520 in Mint condition for $800. I have Loaded R4s and was wondering if anyone has some tips on removing the Heavy loaded R4s. Thanks By the way how heavy do you think they are my guess is 300#

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...

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?

I have a PJ Utility trailer duel axle rated 7000lb 14ft with 2ft dove tail total 16ft it is the U8 model with 4 ft removal side rail at the front to load sideways. Well the rails are all bolted into the stake pockets with 3/8 " bolts from the bottom. I have to leave the rail in because the rear...

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 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#.

Well I used the 2520 for about 1 hour today and was about to load a Rock into the bucket so I lowered the bucket turned off the tractor and when I went to start it again it would not start. The dash lights come on and the fuel pump clicks as normal but the starter does not turn over. I checked...

I have a leak coming from the inside bead around the rim. The rears are loaded with Rim guard and leaking . Is there a easy fix or do I have to take the tire to the dealer. I have r4s on my JD2520 .

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

I have a JD 2520 with 56 hours on it that had a leak from the right rear axle. I used it to till over the garden recently when I drove it into the garage I noticed a couple little puddles of oil on the floor. I looked and saw oil and dirt on the inside of the right rear wheel rim also on the...

What oil weight should I use in my JD2520. this will be the first oil change at 50 hours. I know the owners manual says JD Plus50 5W-30. So I went to my dealer and bought all my fluids and filters to perform the changes and was told that they only carry JDPlus50 15w40. So that is what I bought...

I just started using my new JD655 tiller with my Jd2520 and it works great. I did have a rock get stuck twice and both times it shut off the tractor. 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...

Does anyone have this setup a JD2520 with a jd655 tiller. I am about to get the 655 and want to hear from some that have this setup so I will be sure this is the right setup or should I go with the jd647. I measured the rear R4's tread and it is 49 inches wide so the 647 should cove all but one...

I can get a new JDd655 tiller for $2275 plus tax and was wondering if dealers in the past have had specials in the springtime for these attachments. I believe this is a good price just checking to be sure.

I just came back from Tractor Supply Co I was looking at the 60" tiller they have on sale for $1600. I noticed it is mfg by Tarter Ind and am not sure about this brand. It has a cast iron center gearbox So does anyone use this tiller if so would you recommend it to others. I did look online and...
