I purchased a 54" front blade when I purchased my tractor and I did not realize how ridiculously small it was. Has anybody found a replacement 72" blade that is bolt on compatible with the JD 54" front blade. There is one guy making one, but at $1600 plus shipping it is over the top...

I am considering a flail mower for my JD2520 and I have been looking at Everything Attachments Phoenix SLE line. Does anybody have experience with this flail mower? The second question, what size should I get, I have 20.5 at the PTO, and I would like to get the 55" mower since it would be wider...

I have 6 acres of thick woods and and underbrush, and I am beginning to think about a forestry mulcher. My thoughts are to buy one used for $50K use it for 6 months and then sell it again and hopeful break even on the deal or at least only be out a couple of thousand dollars. I am not going to...

I have a JD2520 and I just purchased a Wallenstein BX42r chipper with the hydro power feed. Seems easy enough, I get a male and female connector and loop the power feed circuit through the power beyond. I talked to Wallenstein told them I had 5 GPM and a power beyond and they thought it would...

When I purchased my property several years ago and well before I bought the tractor, I thought that a DR 4 1/2 inch chipper would be a good purchase. Well it is underpowered and the feed hole is square which can make feeding smaller branches difficult when the crook of the branch is spread...

I am tired of reloading the string in my trimmer. I have seen the ads on the TV for the replacement heads with pivoting plastic blades. Has anybody tried these products out? Please let me know if there ones that work as promised or should they be avoided.

I just bought a new Explorer on Saturday with the tow package which includes the class III hitch rated to 5000lbs, transmission cooler and a larger radiator. If I bought an 18' Aluma tandem trailer it would weight 1100 lbs, my JD2520 with BH weights about 3500 lbs. This should leave me with...

I am going to buy a new blower this weekend and I am leaning towards the Stihl, but the RedMax is a close second. The Stihl seems to have the lighter weight design and the googles that I have done seem to indicate that it is very comfortable to wear. I currently own a RedMax G5300 chainsaw...

All, I am intrigued by the Hydraulink but unfortunately the current thread has #300 posts covering 30 pages. There is a lot of banter and a lot of negativity that mostly seems to come from people don't understand the product and have never seem one let alone used it. I understand that this is...

I just finished my mods on the bucket. I was a little concerned about the thickness of the top plate of the bucket so I made a plate steel sandwich. I used two 3" by 1/4" thick plates, one on the top and one on the bottom. bolted it all together with grade 8 bolts and then attached the bolt...

My 2520 backhoe and loader have been sitting for the last couple of months, so yesterday when I went to remove the plow and put these implements back on I had a tough time getting the hydraulics reconnected. The implements had shifted slightly and created some pressure in the hoses that was...

The topic of the 2320 vs. B2920 has brought up a very good point with 2320/2520. When I was test driving these machines I never put the seatbelt on and now that I have used the 2520 for real work I am finding the seatbelt to be quite annoying. Has anybody retrofitted a retractable seatbelt to...

I have a 54 inch front blade and I purchased some new 2 link snow chains for the front. Yesterday I went to put them on and I realized that there is very little clearance between the front axle and the tire. Honestly I was quite surprised by the tight clearance, it not like it is a tight fit...

Santa came early this year and so did the snow. The weatherman was calling for some much nicer weather than this. Anyway, I got the tractor with the 200CX Loader, the 46 Backhoe, the 54" Blade and the BB1060 box blade. I can't wait to start some of the projects I have planned for this toy, uh...

I am real close to purchasing the JD 2520 with loader, backhoe, blade and box blade. The dealer worked up the quote in MSRP which I verified, then discounted it by a little over 12%. That seems good to me but there is also a charge for 12 hours of prep. Is this normal or should the prep be...

How quickly can I switch between the 200CX loader and the the quick hitch 54 inch blade on a 2520? Does the front quick hitch bracket have to be removed for the loader bucket to clear the front of the tractor? Also should I remove the backhoe with the blade attached since it could make the...

I got another questions about the 46 backhoe on a 2520. I live in an old house that we bought earlier this year. Currently we don't have a garage, but we are planning to build a 3 or maybe 4 car detached garage next year. In the meantime I am hoping to park it in the 2 bay carriage house...

I am getting ready to buy a 2520 or possibly a 2320 with a 200CX and 46 backhoe. Looking at the 2520 it appears that the 3 point hitch has to be removed to mount the backhoe but the not all of the links on the hitch have quick releases, the lower turn buckles in particular seem very difficult...
