I currently have a 2006 2305 with a 62C MMM. I'm considering upgrading to a 2011 Used 2720 with a 62D MMM. My question is regarding a slope I mow. I use the 2305 to mow a couple of places on my 5 acres and the a 66" ZT Exmark for the rest. The one area I need the 2305 for is to mow a ditch in...

Hello, we currently have a 2006 2305 TLB. Primary use is loader for maintaining gravel driveways and parking lot as we'll as snow removal. I've used the backhoe for numerous projects, but no longer have a need for a backhoe. It's used as an supplemental mower to a Zero Turn with a 72" deck for 5...

My shallow pond needs cleaned. It has a lot of leaves and algae on the bottom. I don't want to drain it because of fish, turtles and frogs. I was thinking maybe I could drag the bottom with a harrow of some sort towing it across from one side with the tractor. The pond is 40' x 65' and about 5'...

I want to vastly improve my 5 acres of lawn for faster tractor speed when mowing. I asked a friend that used to work at a golf course how they smoothed out the fairways. He said they made some very large/heavy rollers and towed them around for 2 weeks every spring. He used 200 gallon fuel tanks...

After last weekend here in Ohio mass quantities of leaves have fallen. I decided to buy a set of Gators for my 62C MMM. Well turns out I fell out of my barn loft and messed up a shoulder, so the Gators will not be installed. I decided I better get to mowing the leaves. I mowed about 2 acres in a...

I'm interested in purchasing a spreader. I need it only for spreading fertilizer such as "weed and feed" for my lawn. I'll need to go near my house, buildings, and landscaping beds. Typically, I will be spreading over about 2 acres and occassionally 5 acres. I'm not sure if a 3 point funnel type...

I have a grinding noise and vibration occassionally with mower running while mowing on a slant or hitting bumps. It happens most often when the mower is on a tilt or unlevel while the tires are on a different level. An example is when I mow a ditch by my road. When I enter the ditch, the mower...

Im trying to grade and smooth some very rough places at my recently aquired property. I have been mowing about 5 acres. The back yard is about 3/4 of an acre and pretty smooth. (I can mow at top speed on my J.D. 2305) The front is about the same size, rough and poorly graded. The rest was...

Finally ready for a tiller. I will be using it for some yard work (grading, reseeding) Repairing all the trenches I've dug, and a small garden. I've decided to just buy local and not pay for the extra freight associated with CCM. Deere is out of my budget range with $1800 for a John Deere or a...

I lost an upper 3 point hitch pin yesterday from my 2305. I had removed the 3 point for the backhoe attachment. A ring clip similar to a key ring came with the Woods kit to replace the cotter pins so the 3 point can be removed and reinstalled without dealing with cotter pins. Apparently the key...

Update for anyone purchasing a Woods BH6000 bracket kit for a John Deere 2305. Left offset bracket may not clear the mower linkage. I was told some clear and some don't. Woods has an updated bracket that is 1/2" lower and will clear the linkage. Mine is being made and will ship in a few days...

So far the backhoe is working good. I have been digging in 2 places for sewer lines. I am trenching for a propane line to my building and digging a trench drain for my barn. The recent weather has been good. The ground here is soft and a little wet, but not too wet. The hoe goes right down and...

62\" MMM question I have a noise in my MMM when I make a hard right turn. It sounds like a blade scrapes. You can also feel a vibration at the same time. I have pulled the mower twice and looked at blades, belt and pulleys. The only thing I see is some slight wear on the plastic belt cover. The...

I'm considering a reverse rotation tiller for my subcut. I hear this is a good one. Anyone have one or know anything about them? Price?

Service manager from dealer called around 9 this morning. Brackets arrived. He asked if I wanted them delivered. They were at my door by 1 today. We made the exchange. I started on the install around 2:30. Unit was up and running at 6:00. Install went pretty well. I have pictures but no time...
