    Suggestions on Rear Finish Mower on JD 4066R

    I just bought a 2018 4066R and I LOVE this tractor. I'm looking for ideas, suggestions on a finish mower, before I decide on one. So far, I'm looking at a Frontier Gm1190R 90" rear mount rear discharge mower. I like that width for my area. I'm just curious if there are other, or different...

    X734 where is hydraulic diverter valve?

    I just bought a new JD X734 and I removed my mow deck and put the front quick hitch on it with my broom for sweeping snow and the left to right action on the hydraulic function has a 5 second delay in it. I'm assuming it needs a diverter valve turned somewhere, but I have no clue where said...

    X700 series AWS front fenders?

    Has anyone made the JD front fender kit fit on a X734 AWS? I see JD says it only fits the 2 wheel steer models. I'm wondering how or what might be needed to make them fit as I HATE seeing the salty water spray up on my $15,000 machine when I sweep snow and snow blow at my business. I have...

    2720 Hydraulic quick coupler leaking.

    I picked up a nice used JD 2720 and when I installed my FEL, one of the hydraulic quick couplers leaks a fair amount of fluid and its annoying. Is there any way to adjust these, or whats the best way to stop this annoying leak? It leaks onto my 62D and then the grass sticks to all the oil and...

    X475 replacing fuel line?

    The fuel line is rotten on my John Deere X475. Its about a model year 2000-2002 and its just front steer. How hard is it to replace the entire fuel line? It almost looks like the whole rear fenders and such need to come off, is this true? I'm sure the fuel line is rotten from some...

    2720 Red Light on start up on dash?

    I have a 2008 JD 2720 that I recently bought with 150 hours on it. When I start it cold, there is a red light just above the fuel gauge that comes on for about 5 seconds just after it starts. It appears to have like a pair of circles in it, that makes me "guess" it might be for the glow plugs...

    62D, Independent lift cutting height adjustment questions.

    So I bought a 2720 and it came with a nice 62D MMM and it had a independent lift kit installed on it. The lift works well, but I just don't understand that stupid knob on the fender and that cheesy cable dangling and rubbing my left rear tire. I can turn my adjustment knob a few turns in...

    Do I need longer bolts to install FEL frame brackets on 2720?

    I ordered the loader frame mount brackets for my 2720 today and then I looked at my 2720 and wondered if I need to buy "longer" bolts when I install the FEL brackets to the frame? I know the bolts get removed and the brackets go on, but I'm not sure if the factory bolts are long enough...

    JD 2720 62D front mount brackets.

    I have a 2520 and a 2720 and they seem to have different front brackets that bolt onto the tractor frame to mount the 62D MMM. I'm assuming the brackets are different because one tractor has a FEL and grill guard installed and one tractor does not have a FEL or grill guard. I'm wondering if...

    What is this bracket on my 2720 for?

    What is this "green bracket" for? Its attached to the top link pin. I bought this 2720 used and I'm not sure what this bracket is for. It only has a 62D with independent lift under it. I'm assuming the bracket was for some other implement that was sold separately because the previous owner...

    JD 2720 Idle speed.

    Can anyone verify what the correct Idle speed is for a John Deere 2720? I just bought a 2008 2720 and it idles at like 1,400rpm and that seems really hi compared to my 2520 that idles near 1,000 rpm. Thanks in advance!

    What year did JD 2720 get Emissions stuff?

    I'm wondering what year JD 2720's have emissions equipment and what tiers and years it came into place. I have a 2520 that I am looking to trade for a 2720 to get the few more ponies, as my 2520 has nearly enuf power, but it grunts hard with the big mower and tillers. I'm not looking for...

    I'm looking to put a MMM on my JD 2520 and I'm wondering what all of you prefer, the independent lift or use the standard mechanical lift? I know the 72" only has mechanical lift and 62D can use the independent lift. I pretty much understand how they both work, but I'm curious what you guys...

    Does 7 IRON 72" MMM fit a JD 2520?

    I'm looking to find a nice 72 inch MMM for my JD 2520. Can I put a 7 IRON 72 inch MMM under it? Or can I only run the lighter version of the 72 inch MMM? I found a nice 7 IRON MMM and would buy it if fits my 2520, but if it won't fit I will look for a lighter 72. If indeed I do need the...

    JD 2520 Sloppy FEL Handle!

    My 2520 has a real sloppy feel to its FEL Handle. Its not a huge deal, but its annoying when you try and do precision work with it because you need to move it past all the "slop" before it starts activating the next control. The handle on mine slops mostly side to side in the curling...

    Yanmar differences between years?

    I'm looking at a JD X744 or a x495, and I'm wondering what changes were made to the Yanman for EPA emissions reasons over the years? Basically, what year is the best to buy? I read that the 03-04 used the 1.0L Yanmar, the 05-10 used the 1.1L Yanmar and the 2011+ used the .9L Yanmar. I know...

    72" MMM on 2520, need input on how it performs.

    Hey, I'm looking at putting a 72 inch MMM on my John Deere 2520! I'm hoping the 2520 has plenty of power to turn the 72 inch deck, but I'm wondering if it will cut damp/wet grass with ease, or does the engine bog down if you go kinda fast? My dealer thinks the 72 is too much for the 2520. I...

    Finish Mowing with a 2520?

    Do any of you finish mow with a 2520? I'm trying to decide if I should buy a X495 to mow with, or if I should try buying a belly mower for my 2520? I'm afraid my 2520 will tear my lawn to pieces, but I'd like your opinions. I have R4 tires that I grooved to make them more aggressive, no fluid...

    Frontier Rear Tiller, Quality, or Junk?

    I'm looking at a Rear tiller for my 2520. I'm looking around 5 foot wide. I'm wondering if I should even bother looking at the Frontier models, or just get the JD 655 Tiller? I would think the JD tiller would be much stronger, and last longer, but I'm curios if any of you have a Frontier...

    2520 Snowplow size?

    I'm considering putting a snow plow on my JD 2520. I'm not sure how large of a plow to put on it, but I really don't like the idea of JD's 54 inch plow, that seems ridiculously small. I have a 60 inch plow on my ATV....geesh. So, how big of a plow will it handle in Northern Wisconsin...
