This year I sold my BearCat 3pt wood that sat and collected dust ever since I dug my fire pit. I converted the money into an implement that I will use quite often. This thing is amazing. My only regret is I didn't do this along time ago. I bought the wood chipper for $3,900 in 2007. I used it...

This post is for anyone wondering about the capabilities of the John Deere 2520 and it's ability to swing the 72"MMM. Today I cut the marsh grass for the 1st time this year. As long as I drive slow to allow the deck to discharge the clippings, this thing will cut up to 3 1/2 feet tall marsh...

Here are some photos taken in NH after this weekend's blizzard finished up. I work it hard then treat it right to a heated garage to dry off.

We'll Gang...earlier in the month, it was that time. Time for the 400 hour service on my 2520 that I've owned since August of 2006. She's been real good to me. I've done nothing but regular service with the exception of I did do a tranny service at 50 hours. The only regret I have with this...

Hi Guys & Happy Fathers Day! I've read some posts about people inquiring how much of a hassle it is to remove a 72" mmm on a 2520/2720. I had to do a mower blade change today and wanted to share. Unless you have a jack, you will want to keep the loader on. To get the deck out, the front...

Hello. I thought I'd share with those that are interested what I found to be the maximum lift capacity of my 2520 in a real world test. Equipment: '06 2520 with 200CX Loader (355 hours) Frontier 48" AL1240F fixed pallet forks (3750lb lift...395lbs)...

Hi Guys, I'm looking for some opinionated help. Our construction company purchased a brand new Farmi JL501 Winch back in March of 2009 for $4400. We purchased it for log work, but the type of log work we do requires more finese to get the logs out of the woods than the drag it through...

I have had my 2520 since August of '06. This model was the largest 2000 series at the time one of which could buy. I would have bought the 2720 at the time, but it was not available. More HP is never a bad thing! The other tractor I priced out at the time was a 3520, but I liked the size of...

I love what this little tractor can do. Amazing power for it's size. It was purchased with the 1st priority to mow & went the 72"mmm. According to Deere this is the smallest tractor that you can put the 72" deck on. Hydraulic dump for leaf season and that thing is great...empty the bin and...

I am trying to find out if you guys can help me figure out how much this set-up weighs. In the picture you'll find a JD2520, 72" MMM, 200CX loader with 61" Bucket & Ballast Box filled with concrete. 1. The JD Manual for the 2520 gives a listed weight of 1865lb. 2. 72" MMM - The Operator's...

Hello guys, I recently converted my Bearcat 73554 Chipper/Shredder over to be compatible with my I-match hitch. By doing so put the unit back about 4-5". Right now I am only getting about 2 1/4" - 2 1/2" overlap of my PTO shafts. The book does not state what this length should be, only that...

Here are some pictures of my new Bearcat 73554 Chipper/Shredder mounted on my JD 2520. This unit is pretty awesome! Very well built, and it works the balls! The shredder and top 360 degree blower discharge I just cannot say enough about. Like the brochure says, "If your only going to own one...

Attached is a slideshow of pictures that I have taken during this conversion. It really wasn't too bad, but drilling 1/4" steel is like you know...drilling 1/4" steel. Anyway, here's the stock list: 1 = $40.00 quickhitch bushing kit 2 = $6.50 1/4" * 5" * 4" steel bar stock (local welding shop...

Hello TBN... I am posting a high resolution video of myself showing the 2520 emptying the MCS from the seat of the tractor. I did not compress the video, so the file is rather large, 201MB. If you have broadband, it only takes about 2 minutes to download from my server. If you have dial...

Hello All, My father has a JD X585. For those of you who own one you know that this tractor is equiped from JD with RIO (Reverse Implement Option). He has been using this tractor now for two years, year round for mowing and snow throwing. His question is can the RIO function be disabled...

Hi Guys, I am wondering about the capability of the 2520 and a rear PTO Chipper. I have a 72" MMM on my tractor and for as being underpowered for mowing, it's not...cuts tall grass in low range going uphill at full speed in a single bound! I was wondering if anyone has any experience with...

Hello Everyone, This weekend marked my 48th hour on my 2520 and I decided to pull some maintenance. I did the following: 1. Replaced Engine Oil & Oil Filter 2. Replaced Fuel Filter & cleaned sediment bowl. If you follow the manual, add a step between steps 2 & 3. Remove sediment drain...

Hello guys, I do not see much info on this and it may be a stupid question, but maybe some of you could help me out. I have a 2520 with a 200CX FEL. My quesition is how do I get the FEL into the float position? Thanks to all in advance.
