I have the JD2720 and found the Frontier AV20..Its light and perfect for moving logs https://www.deere.com/en/attachments-accessories-and-implements/utility-tractors-attachments-accessories/loader-attachments/av20f-root-grapple/

Its from the green forum . So even if starting with zero movement for a minute or so and when I dump the bucket chatters. Maybe I will try and capture it in a video

yes sir, been over that feature in another thread

Sorry been MIA but with the bucket after a little use, the dump feature gets the chatter. The grapple with the 3rd function works fine. Curl seems a little weak. I am thinking its time to rebuild those cylinders.. any other thoughts? 3ph arms dont have any issues going up or down. It has a hard...

Any one else try this theory yet?

Thanks will do that too. BTW I did use it today with the grapple and got no chatter. Will see if it comes back with the bucket

I am not sure which fluid, but will check in the morning. As for the oil screen its below the PTO. If I open it , that will drain a gallon or so of oil with it.

So I rechecked all connections and cleaned them up and it seems the chatter returns about an hr or so after the use. Could it be heat related? or do I have a failing pump?

Good tip, I did change an O ring on one of the quick connects as it was leaking.. I will check it again.

It worked fine after the diverter was added for 5-6 hrs and this just started in the last couple of days.

Bringing up an old thread and the issue i am have is after using the tractor for an hour or so the bucket dump feature stutters and power steering chatters abit. The hydraulic oil , filter was changed about 80hrs ago and the screen cleared up back then. The only addition was the artillian...

After putting about 25 hrs in , the oil looks really nice and still clean. In the past the regular one would have been black by now.

I did the Artellian kit, and was able to install it including the wiring under 2 hours.

Did you end up repairing it yourself or dealer? Any chance you cataloged the repairs with pictures?

Is there a brush cutter that will do 3" brush with a pto power at 25hp..?

Back in 2018, I got a steel pole barn 30x40x14 with a 4inch concrete slab done for $25k. Similar rebuild is now touching $40k :(

Love it, where do i get a fire pit that size?

We have to make do with what we have ;)

So after whacking away and not getting a result, I improvised. Extended both ends with 3ft black gas pipe and wedged it between a V of a tree and with my son the opposite end I was able to straighten it out with a couple of tugs..easy as that :)

Agreed, but i will still do the changes at least every 100hrs or 2 yrs minimum :)

Brush killer will kill your oak trees. Sadly the only option is keep hacking away at the unwanted new growth

Sounds good, thanks

My JD2720 with a full box blade that is 60" can almost stall if not careful. Your GC2410 is smaller engine so 48" should work. You can tie a 6' 2x6 at the back to give you more coverage after done cutting dirt to grade things out.

I will give that a try before I order the new rod. Should I heat it up first?

Looks like this is my best bet.. https://www.amazon.com/John-Deere-Original-Equipment-M156380/dp/B00EIKOMUM From...

So in classic haste I got the tractor stuck with the deck still on it and as I pulled it out the decks front left wheel arm is now bent. I got it out but the rod is pretty bent and wont adjust. Can i get a replacement or have to straighten it back ? The dealer doesnt have it. :(

Just make sure its super dry to move dirt. You can move alot using the box blade and loader

I got lucky and will be checking them like you said every time i need to run the grease in the zerks.. Cant imagine the what if..:eek:

I am sure you all or most of you do it but I got complacent and totally forgot to tighten the nuts/bolts on my tractor last yr. Today while changing the oil by chance touched one of the bolts holding the loader frame. The washer spun on it. Come to find out all 3 bolts were finger loose on the...

I have 2 boys and since middle school days, they have dedicated winter chores to clear up snow. They alternate these duties so its fair for all. I use the tractor for the heavier stuff :)

Yes, I am in the same boat although much smaller lot. Chainsaw and grinders take forever. A forestery mulcher can make short work but it costs. To me labor was free as I looked at it as a work out to stay fit. The older I get , the lazier I become and finally last yr got a few acres done by a...

JD has a metal stop nut on the slider that the lever handle rests on

Biggest myth. The shotgun patterns are very tight under 20yard. So have to still be somewhat on target. Dont believe everything you see from Hollywood.

Is this for tractors that have down pressure on the 3ph? Cause my old 2720 3ph floats up naturally, no down pressure at any setting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corduroy_road

Totally agree, wait for it to dry out a bit. I did that couple yrs ago and ended up burying the tractor down to axles. Wait it out and then grade it.

Thanks Tim, appreciate all your videos and motivation.

Thats exactly what I did :)

The filters and oil have been ordered, hoping to get them by this weekend and do that change soon. Maybe I am mixing it up but no discount with the TTWT coupon anymore from greenpartsstore.

thanks, I think the site just has the wrong label.

Sorry a newbie to hydraulics myself but never heard that one. Too much pressure in those cylinders

Totally agreed, if its too wet even a push mower wheel will leave tracks. Mowing is best when its dry and not water logged.

Remove the smaller trees around it first. Tie a chain on the trunk. Cut off near the stump and let the log slide off. It will still be hung up. Use the chain to drag it away and let it fall to ground. Happy bucking

Best option is to get a zero turn and use the tractor for tractor work :)

The entire plant or edibles are not legal everywhere ..and some company policies require a drug test.

I was having somewhat of a similar issue but havent been able to confirm it yet. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/cx200-hydraulic-cylinder.434680/ Wondering if you are doing the same as what I was doing regenerative valve to kick in. If its not that then it could be hydraulic...

Thanks for the feedback.

This is a possibility, had that issue develop in mines and had to get the trench dug up again.

I apologize, meant to say there is no dash temp gauge, I am pretty sure it has the thermostat in there :p

No thermostat or temp gauge on the JD 2720

The only constant in life is change. If you are not changing you are dead. And even in death something is changing..lol

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. On average i only get to use it 50-60hrs a yr so I will switch to it also.

So the local dealer only carries 15w-40, online i can pickup Plus-50 II Synthetic Blend Motor Oil 0W-40 We have a long cold winters with over 4-5months and site states 500hrs on drain intervals. Not sure I will let it sit that long and will still change it yrly John Deere Plus-5 II Synthetic...

Hi All, So we had a bit of snow and I used the loader to clear it up but quite a few times noticed that the curl function went weak or limp. There is no oil leaking anywhere. I did the full raise and curl to get any air out but seems the functioning is intermittent at best. The dump is loud and...

So during my travels on the interweb came across these 2 options for my 2720 John Deere LoaderMower Mechanical Diverter Valve Kit - LVB25823 https://www.greenpartstore.com/assets/images/instructions/2020/john_deere_lvb25823_installation_instructions.pdf and then the usual John Deere Third SCV...

Wont longer lift arms reduce lift capacity also? Here is a picture from the manual. Will get actual later tonight The 18" is length of the levelling arms Full disclosure the manual picture is not the configuration I have in my tractor, as it also has the links for the drive over mower deck.

hi All, The challenge I have is that the box blade at max height only goes up to 11" of the floor. When I go up a slope, it digs in to the point where I can easily get the tractor stuck if not careful. The standard length of the leveling arms is 18" pin to pin fully shortened or closed on my...

The down pressure on the loader seems to work fine but after using the tractor for a bit the the curl will loose its force and create a floppy bucket. Raise the loader and curl the bucket and it tightens up again for the next go round. Seems there is leak some where but no oil drops anywhere...

Wondering if someone has already tried the new grapple that doesnt need the 3rd function connections. Brush Crusher BC-42 For John Deere Tractors Any good or bad reviews from the forum gurus?

I dont think I have rims that can be separated.

Hi All, Still going the through the paces with my JD2720 and was able to get a good price to get the rear wheel filled with rimgard. The challenge is that the valve stems are in the inside. If i take the tires off, then I cant put them back on with the additional weight. Can i reverse the tires...

I need to clear out about 3.5 acres of scrub brush of which 1.5 acres is swampy where no tractor will go. I am thinking of buying a brush cutter like DR XL but on the other hand I can rent a mini skid on tracks for the weekend for $500 and clear it all out. The thickest stuff is at most 2...

Hello All, Trying to help a neighbor who has this old YardMachine by MTD . Its mower deck belt shredded to pieces so we cant measure and get a replacement. The machine is so old that all tags are gone. Any help with model or belt size is greatly appreciated.

As you all know I am new to tractors and was doing some loader work today in so called 4wd. I got the front tires spinning and noticed that only the right front spins. The left front was not spinning at all. I then engaged the diff lock but that only locked rear 2 tires. Is this how mfwd is...

Hi All, After my lesson learning event of getting the tractor stuck in muck, I had to use jack & logs to winch it out. Now one of front tire has a rip in it. Thinking i can get away by just putting 2 new fronts. Or do i need to swap all 4. Thinking of putting R14 in front and leaving the used...

As you all know by now that I am new tractors and this is used but new to me tractor. I have been trying figure out the hydraulic oil level in the tractor but the window near the PTO never shows anything. I have parked it flat, incline & decline to see how much oil is left but nothing seems to...

So as you all know I bought a new to me jd2720 and just noticed today that even though i have parking brake engaged the tractor rolls. Although when I have the brake pedal pushed it doesnt. Any one know how i can adjust the parking brake to truly work? thx in advance

Well here it is

After much comparisons and many sleepless nights I ended up a green machine. JD2720 One owner 758hrs with drive over mower and CX200 JDQA loader for $13k. Hopefully i got a good deal. Getting delivered tomorrow. So excited:cool2:

A little confused with the specs on these 2 tractors that are so different yet the breakout force for loader is better on the smaller tractor. Why is that so? 4110: Loader type: John Deere 410 Height (to pin): 74 inches [187 cm] Clearance, dumped bucket: 55.1 inches [139 cm] Dump reach: 24.8...
