Well I got started in the M now. Ugh this one has been more of a pain. Popped the head to do a gasket I'll have a few days of cleaning that head up but the worst thing to happen was a head bolt snapped inside the block. I spent two days trying to work it out with a punch than a drill and ez out...

Hey Guys looking for some advice from the Farmall experts. My Uncle gave me a Farmall H yesterday it has sat in his shed for 20 years, it was parked in the corner of the shed and hasn't been stated since. it was rebuild about 5 years before it was parked so it ran perfect than. Upside is its...

Well after using mower tractors my whole life. Started with a B Farmall than went to a B Allis Chalmers both with 60" mowers than as we planted more trees ended up with a LX John Deere than a D1 series can't remember the model that didn't hold up to 5 acres of rough mowing and trimming I got...

Well I was at fleet farm today and decided to walk over to the attachment section to see if they had anything new. And I saw they had the 66" box blade discontinued and on clearance I wanted the 72" becuase it has 6 ripper teeth as this one has 3 but I figured I can add more without too much...

Life is good :) Merry Christmas all.

Hey guys thought I would post this for anyone looking at this saw. Yesterday and today I decided to drop a large tree that was almost dead and want to plant something new in its place. Tree was solid with no inner rot. The 460 had the 24" bar on it and new chain. It handled the bar ok. You...

Saw this on YouTube thought I would share it. New Chevy max tow with that 6.2l v8 is a beast. It was a good test pulling 10k up a mountain road at high speed. 2014 Chevy Silverado 6.2L takes on Nissan, Ford & the Ike Gauntlet 2.0 Mega Tow Test (Episode 3) - YouTube

Hey guys i was wondering if you all could help me out. I"m going to sell my 72D auto connect deck and all the hardware and lifting hydraulics attached to my 3320. the deck has 6 hours on it. Yes i know i'm going to take a HUGE bath on this one but the cab tractor with all my trees just doesn't...

Hey everyone. I just moved into the family farm house last year and working on improvements and changes. Newest one to tackle is the old celler/basement. Its dirt floor and I want to put a couple inches of rock down there to give a cleaner nicer walking surface. What type of rock would work...

Well i think my rings or valves are going bad in the 70. I topped off the oil and coolant couple days ago and i noticed she has really started smoking. even at idle i can see light white smoke and when i throttle up or work the motor it smokes white until you load it down than it darkens also...

I've been using using my 18" bar for almost everything but today i decided to pop on the 24" bar and try it. granted most of this limb was hallow so it wasnt a full load for it but part of it was solid and totally sunk the bar. it handled it well but you can tell 24" in hardwood is a load for...

Well after about a year of on off adding to it i think I've finished the carry all wood hauler. I might add a couple more tubes and maybe a hook for a hand saw but as it sits right now its my one stop wood cutting shop i can bring everything i need into the woods from chains and straps to fuel...

Hey guys, Well I've hit 50 hours now and its time to completely change all the fluids. I was wondering how close the fluid numbers are in the book to what they really hold. I know my 2520 used more than the book said. E-Hydro 6.8Gal Front Axle 1.3Gal Engine 5.1QT These numbers...

I have both my 24" and 18" bars now and both have the low kickback safety chains. I was wondering if anyone has modified their chains so they pluge cut better. I'm guessing those little guides in front of the cutting teeth are that make it a safety chain. If I'm off in left field and need to...

Hey guys need to do some dirt digging this spring and the 73" bucket i have is too wide going to get another bucket and add a tooth bar. What should i exspsect to pay for a 53" bucket? or is there an offbrand non JD that i should look into to save some money? Thanks!

Sorry if they is a repost I'm sure it is. If I flip my tires does it really give you a 4" wider footprint? Growing tired of the trippy feeling. Want to flip the tires and add 2" spacers to each side. Wanting a total of 8" of width. So figired I would ask if the tire rim flip is 2" wider per side.

Hey guys I don't have the book for my deck. I'm guessing the gearbox takes normal 80w90 gear oil? Thanks.

Hey guys i'm not sure if anyone in the market knows about this but i wanted to share. for the month of Feb Husq is doing a deal where if you buy some of thier premix gas and oil when you buy the saw you get another 2 years on your warranty. Ended up costing me about 25 bucks for 3 gal of the pre...

Like the title says I got a 425 with low hours. Pretty excited this was my dream mower growing up. The seat though is all busted up and it seems like every 425 I've seen has a split seat. do most people just replace the whole seat guessing there isn't much saving it? also whats a good wax to get...

I'm not sure if i put this in the right section or not. Its a project but if there is a place for tree related questions free feel to move it. Okay here is my deal. I live on a dirt road and i do not have a long lane its yard ditch road so what i'm going to do it plant a couple rows of trees...

Okay guys maybe this is a stupid question and i do understand that laws are different from place to place but as a general rule of thumb. For the past 19 years so since i was 12 I have taken the snow at the end up the driveway the plow pushes into the driveway and just ran the tractor down and...

Figured this called for a new thread. I have a Stihl 010AV white body my dad got back in oh i'm guessing 91 92. The trigger is broken on it and it had little or no use very few working hours on it. Anyone know anything about this model? CC and what not? Trying to decide if its worth investing...

Well my Craftsman 18" 42cc POS has made me mad for the last time. it just doesn't have the snort anymore to sink the full chain into a log. I have tons of HUGE hardwood maple that need trimming some of the limbs are 24" Craftsman will be a nice light limbing saw for the remainder of its life...

Hey guys have a bunch of post hole projects to do this spring and i'm sick of renting those two man arm breakers. i am going to plant 200 dog wood trees build a deck buils a pole building put up a wall in my current shed and also build some anchers next to the barn to support a wall thats...

Hey guys i'm looking for a lower cost big trim mower. I do most of the open stuff with the 3320 but need something to zip under bushes and around trees. I like the front mount off set deck on the F725 style mowers. I wanted to get some feedback on the machines. things to watch out for also how...

This might be old news but i've always been on the lookout for the 2X20 3X20 4X20 series in a small toy form but I have never seen any. Guessing the large AG tractors sell better as toys Anyways was walking through halmark and saw they had an Ornament of the 4120 open station on turfs. Son...

Hey guys, I need to get a quick hitch for my tractor some of these 3point attachements are just too dang heavy to hook and unhook from the 3pt without a quick hitch couple times a week. What did most of you pay for the Deere Imatch 3pt quick hitch? I see the one fleet farm...

Good Morning guys, I have a quick question. Nights in MN are dipping into the mid/low 20's and it got me thinking the 3320 still has 3/4 of a tank of summer diesel in it and with most summer projects done now i don't see my self burning that much fuel before it starts...

Was out pulling out a dead tree shrub. not sure what kind of plant it is. 3320 pulls like a tank was super impressed. Also my Son got a new toy this weekend figured i would share :) Picked up a Carry all frame from Fleet Farm this evening and 2X6's going to build a nice carry all starting...

This might be a dumb question but i dont remember this from my 2520. when i dump it's about half as fast as the bucket recoil. or that normal? the up down and recoil are all about the same speed but dump is a lot slower. If this isnt right i wanted to talk to the dealer about if something is...

Hey guys, With winter coming up on toying with blowing vs pushing snow this winter. Who makes the best cheaper rear blower? What can i expect to pay for a 60" rear 3-point blower? Thanks everyone.

Hey Guys i'm going to install a radio in my 3320 this weekend. The cab is all pre wired just need to pop in the deck its self. My question is i removed the cover and it's a square plug if i remember right the decks you get at best buy or wal-mart are not a square plug on the back of them. is...

Okay I feel very stupid about this. Where is the oil dip stick on the 70? Before winter I want to change all fluids but having trouble finding it. Or is it one of those fill holes you fill till it runs out ? Last what weight oil ? It's a 1954. Thanks

Well the 3320 is here everything is installed on it and it will be delivered on Wednesday. Thanks to everyone who put up with my 500 stupid questions very excited to start using it, the next couple days will be long and slow at work i can feel it ha-ha. I also uploaded a picture of my 22 month...

Does John Deere have any order tracking like GM does? I know when you order a new car to be built the dealer can see the steps along the way. I'm guessing not but figured i would ask. this waiting is painful ha-ha Upside is I've been getting a ton of use out of my John Deere 70 lately moving...

Hey guys . Looking to hear what your favorite wax is for hiding / removing light scuffs and also protecting it from new scuffs. I mow with mine so small branches sometimes brush the hood not scratches they don't cut into the paint as much as scuffs that can be buffed out. Thanks everyone.

Hey Guys, I figured this would be good for a new thread. I went to the dealer today and got the ball rolling on my 3520 cab 300CX loader and 72" MMM. My question is what size bucket did you guys get? they gave me a few options. I went with the 72" bucket. I'm guessing this is the...

Hey guys, I've asked this question before but it's been a long time and now i'm finally ready to purchase looking have the new one no later than Aug. I currently have a 2008 John Deere 2520 200CX FEL 62D MMM 250 hours. What can i expect on trade for this machine can someone give me...

Hey guys, Before i can upgrade the 2520 I need to get this front end seal fixed. I'm having a hard time figuring out which seal is it that went out. Tonight I cleaned the hub and everything around it and hoping by morning i can find a wet spot where the fluid is leaking out. But i...

Hey guys what do you guys use in the front end for fluid other than JD fluid? I wanted to try to get something cheaper at fleetfarm. I had a seal go out in my front end. it's the on in the steering system out on the end of the axles there is one top one bottom its before it goes out to the hub...

Hey guys, I'm toying around with the idea of upgrading my 2520 to a larger frame tractor. The 2520 is great but it just doesn't have enough loader ability for me. I also hate winter and cold. The 3X20 series is a really nice size but I think if i buy this time i want to over buy just a...

Hey guys. I'm looking at trading my John Deere 2520 in for something bigger. I know JD frame sizes well but the Bobcat dealer is a little ways away so i figured i would collect some info here. The CT440 and the 450 are they on the same frame just with different HP? I'm guessing the frame sizes...

Well it's been a while since i've posted, been really busy with work but a few of you will remember me asking about trading my GMC Sierra Ext cab for a new F-150. I finally took the jump yesterday and got it. I wanted to say thanks for the people a few months back that helped me decide on a new...

I was wondering what is a fare price for a 60 inch 3pt snowblower? I'm trying to get my tractor setup for winter and with all the drifting i really want to have a blower. What is a fare price for one in mid grade condition? Thanks for the help

Well being the smart guy I am I forgot my manual for my tractor when I left for work today and I need to pick up fluids for the front end. What kind of fluid are you guys using up there VS the stuff you get from John Deere, only thing I would like to get from JD is oil filters and things like...

The company I work for had their CUT stolen over the past weekend which they used to mow the factory grounds it's about 6 acers of grass with lots of trimming. Nothing is safe these days I tell yah. Insurance is giving us between 10000 and 12000 for the tractor. We are looking at a John Deere...

The truck I found (picture in my closed thread) seem to fit all my needs perfectly well last night while looking it over I went to see what gears it had in it just to be sure it had 3.73's in it and it didn't. it's got 3.55's now is this going to be a problem? should I back out and find one with...

Hey guys long time GM fan thinking of jumping ship. currently I have an 08 GMC serria 1500 Ext cab. and I have to say the biggest purchasing mistake i've made in a long time was purchasing a truck with an ext cab vs 4 door. Anyways. I sat in a 2010 Ford F-150 4 door and couldn't believe the leg...

My trailer came with the break away system but what they didn't incude was the cord that goes into that box to the bumper of the pickup. Need to call them. I haven't really used the trailer yet but a friend saw it and said the trailer could be getting power from the truck for that and lighterly...

Well my 2520 has 75 hours on it now I changed all the main fluids on the tractor at 50 hours oil tranny so on. But i did not change the fluid in the front end for the AWD. should i change this before the mowing season starts? I remember someone saying 100 or 150 hours before changing this fluid...

I don't post in this area much but i've been doing a lot of reading looking for a trailer. I ended up with a PJ 20 footer 7000lb. I'm really happy with it I've been hunting for almost a year for a trailer and this one fit all my needs. it's got the side ramps on it as well so I can use it for...

Does anyone know is anyone makes a scale toy of the 2X20 series tractors? I've seen toys of the 4210's but not the newer 2000 series. I want to get one for my Office if they make one.

We got 4 inches of snow so i figured it was time to push the snow around a little. After I finished out at the farm clearing snow I drove it into town to do a few driways and i have to say the rear blade worked great and cut through the packed down snow well I just angled the blade a bit and...

I changed the hydro oil in the 2520 this weekend. and i have to say the manual is worthless. anyways I put 4 gal ran it around a little and could only see fluid at about 1/4 to 1/2 on the sight glass book said 3/4 or a bubble on top. so i added a half gal more and it seems to have filled the...

Hey guys I found this seller on ebay. it might not be pretty but it would keep you out of the blowing wind in the dead of january. I might pick one up because it's not too expensive and i don't want a cab in the summer and this looks easy to pop off. HARD TOP CAB ENCLOSURE FOR JOHN DEERE 2320 -...

Ran into this on the internet there was no real info. http://www.worldagexpo.com/media/images/JDcab_000.JPG

Hey guys I know there are other topics on this I looked at a couple and they didn't answer my question. My parents farm and my place are about 1 mile away so in the winter I'm going to drive between them to use the 2520 to clear snow and i'm thinking i'm going to get sick of this task without a...

Well it's that time. Time to change the oil on the 2520. I was planning on just getting the oil and filter from JD but I figured if NAPA or some place sold them cheaper it would be worth saving the money. Do any of you guys get your oil and filters somewhere other then JD and if so where?

I got tail weight for it now I figure i have about 600LB on the 3 point and i got the tires filled. So now I figured I can get this dang building moved. Figured i would share some picutres. I know it doesn't look very safe but both tractors were well weighted down and the 70 did the loader...

Driving the tractor home last night from my parents farm i noticed one of the large nuts that holds the loader together is missing. the one thats missing is the lower one that holds that bracket on, The bracket is the one that holds the loader up when you take it off the tractor. Anyone know...

Hey everyone got some action shots for you guys. Yes I know my ROPS are down. too many low trees to have them up. I leanred a lesson though. Don't play in the dirt with the mower deck on. because it's a paint to clean when your done. reason i had it on was for weight. the black dirt was HEAVY...

I was talking to the dealer the other day and he said the demand for a John Deere Factory cab for the 2X20 tractors is really high. He was saying he thinks we'll see a a factory cab for these tractors pretty soon. He also said the rep was saying that JD wanted to see if they where going to stick...

Hey guys, I've been thinkin about this one for a couple days now. I've always been of the mind set to idle a diesel vs turning it off. So my rule of thumb is if the tractor is going to sit for less then 10 minutes while i'm loading something up i'll just idle it vs turning it on and off. I know...

Well I got to put some time on my new toy last night. mowed about 4 acers of lawn with it. it did an amazing job. it's mostly flat so i was able to mow in high range but i did learn something mowing with the loader on stinks. loader is 61 inches deck is 62 so it's kind of a dance getting it in...

Hey guys just signing up an account to say hi. I've been looking at CUT's for a while now and finally settled on the 2520. I was looking for for something to replace my smaller lawn mowers and my larger John Deere 70 with a loader the 2520 seems like it's going to be a perfect inbetween Going to...
