    Cyclone XL vs Kubota Bagger

    After having/using the Kubota set-up for about a month now, I can say that I like it a lot. Haven't had any clogging issues, etc. and I can mow the entire yard and only need to dump the 3 bags once. If I had a complaint, it would be how the unit mounts to the machine. While the mounting system...

    Cyclone XL vs Kubota Bagger

    I have a BX2680 with the Kubota set-up. Used it yesterday while cutting the grass and it performed great and I'm hoping it'll make leaf collection easier this fall. Not sure if the Cyclone reduces (shreds) what it sucks up, but they say the Kubota won't reduce any more than what the mower...

    Modified JD 54" plow

    I bought a 54" JD plow last year for my 2520 and found it to be too small for my tractor. So I sent it over to a fabricator I know and had the width increased to 66", the moldboard height increased to 20" and had the A-frame extended out 6". I know that it's best to keep the blade as close to...

    JD 46BH relief valve

    Hello all, I originally tried posting this question in the JD forums, but got no responses, so I'll throw it out to the hydraulics gurus.

    46BH relief valve setting

    Hello all, I have a relatively new 2520 with the 46BH and it seems that every time I use the backhoe, I'm constantly setting off the relief valve when digging through rocky soil or trying to bust the roots of small (under 6" dia.) trees when doing stump removals. Is there a way to check the...

    JD 200CX issue

    Hello all, Recently the 200CX loader on my JD2520 has been acting up. It lifts, lowers, dumps and scoops fine, but when you tilt the bucket forward and try to backdrag the ground with the cutting edge, the bucket rotates upwards (like after you drive into a material pile and big to "scoop" it...

    2520 is home!

    Hello everyone, My new 2520 just arrived this morning!!...:). This thing is awesome and worth every penny and then some. I'm so glad I went for the 2520 or the 2305, even though the 2520 is a little "more machine" than I need, but what the heck, you only live once. So far I've logged only about...

    Just test-drove a 2520 FEL/BH.....awesome

    Hello all, Just got back from the JD dealer, where I test-drove a 2520 FEL/BH. There is no doubt in my mind that the 2520s are hands down a better machine than the NH T1110 I looked at on Friday. So here is the "no haggle" price: Machine: JD 2520 Year: 2008 (would need to be ordered) FEL: JD...

    Questions about JD's hydrostatic drives
