What's the collective wisdom of the two approaches? Any "technical" reason to not just chop them in place? I'm not clear if there are impacts to the lawn (not a showplace lawn) and/or mower (JD 757 ZTR). We've either had a bumper crop this year or the squirrels are getting slower! B8fish

Hi--was splitting wood for a couple hours yesterday (using PB with hydraulic splitter), shutting tractor on and off frequently, last time it would not start. Got the flickering dash lights etc. After everything cycles thru, get an Err 57 on the dash. I'm thinking battery problem--won't hold a...

My In-laws are looking into saunas for their basement--they cannot decide between conventional ceramic based heat or newer carbon based--anybody know of primary pros and cons of each? Which way would be safest for indoors and fastest to heat up--or give the best sauna feeling. I am not a sauna...

Curious--is there still a specific application/reason why one would use steel or iron tractor tires?? On a recent drive thru the middle of NY I saw a lot of tractors (they seemed to be primarily in the Amish community area) that had steel tires and I got to wondering if there was a specific...

Hi--have an opportunity to get a 4n1 bucket (used) for my 3320. In reading the many threads about controls and hose routing--what should expect to get with the bucket? I have the 3rd SCV--currently using for HTL. Would it be too much of a PITA to switch hoses from HTL to 4n1 when needed? What...

Has anyone found a good (any) retrofit for a swivel seat on a 3x20 class with a 448 BH attached? I am getting tired of swapping places between the two seats, and see that the dedicated BH seat could easily be removed, and wonder if it could work to have the "main"seat slide all the backwards and...

Anyone tried one of these on a 3 point splitter? They only describe it for the gas powered models, but the base design (wedge height, beam dimensions etc) seem to be the same and I wonder if it would fit. They don't list prices--so not sure how much it costs, the first local TSC didn't have one...

Saw this recently, thought it would be an interesting discussion point for the group--I'm squarely in the middle of one! Sad to see all the fields getting turned into housing tracts while the cities crumble. EXURB (EK-suhrb) MEANING: noun: A residential area outside a city and beyond its...

After reading Moss's new stove thread--I am wondering if any of you dedicated woodstovers are using one of the "self" powered wood stove fans? Ecofan and HeatWave are the two that I have seen--they run around $100 and $180 respectively and are said to be powered by the heat of the stove--more...

Looking at adding a 447 to my 3320 (already have PB)--anybody priced one out in the last couple of months? Initial quote is 10% off list with charges for install and delivery/Pick up (net of appx. 7K with taxes). I think I should be able to do better, and wonder about doing the install myself...

On my 3320 with MX-5 (total of about 45 hours, 35 with the MX-5). I have noticed in the last week that the 3PH will not stay where I set it. As of now it acts like this: if I raise it all the way up, it will slowly start to drop--about an inch in 5-10 seconds. If I raise it to the mid-way point...

Anyone using the TSC or Northern Tool type splitter on a newer 3x20 series with Power Beyond? The PB set-up on my 3320 has 3 connections--the "normal" loop, and an extra connection on the left hand side (when viewed from the rear). It's not clear to me how to set-up the splitter in this...

Curious if anyone has experience with the cut quality of an LX compared to an MX. Specifically looking at "reclaimed" areas (were once brush/saplings, and are now weeds turning into field grass) and if the higher tip speed on the MX would make these field areas look more "mowed". I have found...

After trading in my 2210 for the 2520--I've been amazed at how much more I've gotten done in the rear parts of my property. The 2210 was no slouch, but the extra HP and ground clearance of the 2520 have really made some progress out there. Main problem is that I spend about 3 hours a week mowing...

Hi--would like some helpful advice on adding a zerk to my 62D on-ramp mower deck front wheel assembly to help them pivot more freely. Would this be the right process-- 1)remove wheel and shaft 2)drill and tap hole 3)install zerk 4)reinstall wheel and shaft 5)Grease Thanks, B8fish

After using this deck for the first time today, and noticing that the front wheels on the deck seemed to stick a little, I went to check the grease on the shaft--no zerks, no grease, no nothin.. Anybody else with one of these notice this? Or does yours have grease zerks? I'm thinking of adding...

Upgrade from 2210 to 2520 is getting closer--the 2520 is at the dealership! Awaiting the LX-5 and hydraulic set-up (mower lift kit and PB, so far).

Is there a \"standard\" Cetane rating? The owners manual for a JD 2520 states--Cetane number of 45 minimum. Cetane number greater than 50 is preferred, especially when temperatures are below -20°C (-4°F) or elevations above 1500 m (5000 ft). Seems like the number on the pumps is usually 40. I...

Any recent 2520 buyers--can you share your approximate discount off of list price? I'm looking at a 2520/200CX/62" drive-on deck and LX-5 (plus some add ons like the independent lift, block heater etc). Current deal is around 12.5% off the list (configurator) price. Do the dealers use the...

Hmmm, after reading many posts on the 2520 (and not sure I want to wait to see what the 2320 brings), I am looking to trade in my 2210 with 210 loader and 62" deck on a 2520. The 2210 has about 150 hours--any comments on trade-in value?? I've been offered about 8K for TI on the 2520 with 200CX...

Any reason you couldn't (or shouldn't) attach a "disposable" 2x8 or 2x10 to any rake to act as a rear blade to help clear snow? I've been using the loader and BB on my 2210 for the last 2 years and it works fine, but thinking with the new rake that I could adapt it to help as well, and since it...

Any suggestions on how to approach this problem? I noticed some leaking from the mid pto shaft area last night after "mowing" the fields with the LX4 cutter (the 62" mower deck was also in place, but not in use). There appears to be a very slow, but consistent drip from the bottom of the mid pto...

2210 62\" deck--on/off and adjustments Noticing that as I take the mower deck off and put it back on that the lift arms are always in a different position relative to the stops on the frame. Seems that I can get them adjusted perfect without the deck, and as soon as the deck goes on, they are...

After using my 2210 with turfs for box blading and loader work around our soon to be timber frame barn--in soil that has a lot of clay, I finally gave up and ordered some R1's. Holy Cow can this machine work! I guess it was so different than my old 425 (rear drive only with R1's) just having the...

Anyone using this, or the TCC version on their 2210? Looking to help with the operation of my 48" box blade. Ideas and suggestions welcome. Thanks

Looking for feedback on cost of 50 hour service for a 2210, and wether your dealer suggested sticking with the break-in oil, or going to a "standard" duty oil. So far most of my hours have been FEL based snow removal with a couple of hours of mowing when I got the machine late last year. Thanks...
