john deere 2520

Hello to all, I live in Australia on approx 5 acres of mainly mowing land.I also have a few hundred metres of driveway made from crushed rock. I am looking for a fast way to slash the block that grows back at this time of year every 2 weeks and to maintain the driveway with a...

I bought a new JD 2520 today and the undercarriage mount rubs badly on the inside of the tire causing gouges. The tractor has less than one hour. How can I prevent this?

My wife and I bought a new 2520, FEL, 62d deck in June 07. After about 1hr of mowing I noticed the right rear tire had a groove in it, turned out that the dealer did not put the wheels in the wide position. I had to move the wheels side to side, still have the groove in the tire got nothing for...

Just purchased the above mentioned unit and test ran it today. I am very satisfied with the quality of the product, and learned a couple of things. First, it's really quiet until you put a 2x4 through it. Second, if you're putting freshly-cut branches with lots of leaves through it, you need...

I'm looking into selling my John Deere 2520 tractor with front loader, back hoe and forks to buy a compact excavator such as a JD 27 D. My question is how do I find my resale value? The 2520 only has 25 hours on it and I bought it november of 2007. It has been garage kept and in excellent...

I'm looking to buy a 4WD tractor to landscape my house - just can't stomach paying $70-100K to a landscaper. Figure I can landscape for $20K in materials + the tractor cost over a year (and quite a bit of my time). I'm looking at the Kubota B2620 w/FEL and JD 2520 w/FEL. I would plan to rent...

Hi I currently have a JD2520 with a factory JD model 46BH. It's a straight boom 6.5 foot BH and for what it is does OK. However, for any kind of trenching work its kinda, well, not very productive. The combination of straight boom and small size means that for a 1.5 to 3 foot deep trench you...

Any preference between the two listed backhoes, for use on the 2520? The price is similar, about 5000 for the Woods, almost 6000 for the JD. The woods has a curved boom, JD is straight. Either way I go, it would be subframe mounted, of course. Can anyone shed any light here? Thanks!

I currenlty have the JD 2520 - I am looking for a backhoe attachment, aside from the JD 46BH are there any other compatible brands out there that might be a litle cheaper but still suffice. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thx.

If you own a John Deere 2520 and are concerned about how close the draft arms are to the tires when using cat 1 equipment, see the following thread: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/jd-owning-operating/122002-calling-all-2520-owners.html I know when I run chains, they about get ripped off...

Hi, looking for this size tractor with a pto chipper in the 4inch range Do you have one what brand how do you like it thanks Steve

Hello everyone- I have the JD2520 and am in the market for a 3pt pull behind aerator..so far my search has landed me to the Trufvent product Coremast "52 pull behind. Has anyone purchased one of these and/or can anyone suggest another brand/model that is reasonably priced??

Has anyone experienced an acceleration problem? I'll try and describe as best I can my problem. With the tractor in gear and the throttle set at 540 RPMS when the froward pedal is pressed it moves forward at a very slow speeds and the engine really bogs down as if it's going to stall.

I just got a new 2520. It's advertised as direct injection. My machine has a glow plug light on the dash when the key is turned on. My dealer says they "must have added glow plugs because the last two machines we got have these lights." Does he know what he's talking about? I thought direct...

The other day I sent an email to JD about the three point hitch problem with the 2520. Today I received this reply. Dear Tim: We have a "fix" in the testing phase. Please keep in contact with your John Deere Dealer. I expect an update in the May/June 2008 time frame. Regards, Laurie John...

A couple weeks ago, we had a nice day to get outside and do some clean up. The 2520 got some FEL exercise :) . So, I am wondering opinions as the to best use (other than firewood) of logs this size?

Does anyone have an opinion on a PHD for a 3PH. I have read in the treads that they either work well, or they are a waste of money. I have to put in about 100 fence post at my new house and I was planning on using a PHD with my JD 2520. I live in Mass and with the amount of rocks I could get I...

Just got the Landpride QH15 quick hitch. After some modification to the top hook (releaving it so it would fit low enough to pick up my box blade) I went to my chipper shredder. The adjustable feature of the QH15 works like a charm. Moved the hook up to fit the bearcat and it was good to go. My...

This board is great -- I've learned so much about CUTs during my search over the last few weeks. I think I've narrowed it down to two different tractors: Kubota B3030 or the JD 2520. Intended Use: I have about 6 acres. Some gentle slopes, but no serious hills. The whole things needs to be...

Got my kit today and took some pictures of the kit. I will install it next week hopefully, will take more pictures. Stay tuned!!

They don't currently make one for our jd2520 CUT, but they said they decide which models to build the enclosures for based on the number of calls or emails they receive requesting it. FEMCO, Inc. So, we emailed them a request. And we called them too.

Does anyone know how the Power Beyond circuit is plumbed in reference to the Factory SCV? I'd like to know if the Hyd fluid flows through the SCV first, then through the Power Beyond (PB) circuit, or does the fluid flow through the PB circuit, then the SCV? I'm planning on adding a rear...

Hi Guys, I have been looking at compact tractors for a while and kinda like the 2520 machine but hate the seat. I know a couple guys changed the seat configuration and one in particular put the L/G X-Series seat on this tractor but can't find the pics. Can the individual who made this...

Hello guys, I recently converted my Bearcat 73554 Chipper/Shredder over to be compatible with my I-match hitch. By doing so put the unit back about 4-5". Right now I am only getting about 2 1/4" - 2 1/2" overlap of my PTO shafts. The book does not state what this length should be, only that...

Here are some pictures of my new Bearcat 73554 Chipper/Shredder mounted on my JD 2520. This unit is pretty awesome! Very well built, and it works the balls! The shredder and top 360 degree blower discharge I just cannot say enough about. Like the brochure says, "If your only going to own one...

anyone with knowledge , please help!! Bought a John Deere 2520 last year, from out of state. (got a great deal, and didn't have to pay taxes in PA). My tractor has only 35 hours on it, and I mainly use it to cut 4 level acres of grass. about 2 weeks ago I noticed the tractor making more...

I have a couple of rookie questions that I’m sure I can get some help with. First when hooking up the hydraulics for the independent lift do you use the top two hydraulic connections (yellow and silver I believe) or the bottom two. Both lines are color coded yellow so I wasn’t sure. Second and...

My "old" JD 4100 had a special switch you could pull up when the seat was flipped up, to allow the rear 540 pto to run without an operator. This is nice when running a generator or wood chipper. Can the 2520 do this with some hidden feature or procedure? Otherwise I have to short across the...

just some of my thoughts while mowing this evening. YOUR RESULTS MAY VARY! my current yard is 7 acres, nice grass, springfed creek, and lots of trees. i have owned probably 20 tractors over the years of all brands up to about 40 horse. when i bought this place i bought a deere 2210 (very...

I purchased a new John Deere 2520 compact utility tractor last fall and was wondering if anyone is having the same problem with this tractor. The front right axel leaks oil (MFWD) and is in for repairs now for the third time. This tractor is used very little (only 25 hrs. now) as I have six...

My dealer said I would be pushing it on the PTO power with this chipper shredder but the specs say no problem to me. What's your take? Anyone have this setup already? Bearcat says PTO of 540 RPM's

My dealer said I would be pushing it on the PTO power with this chopper shredder but the specs say no problem to me. What's your take? Anyone have this setup already? Bearcat says PTO of 540 RPM's

I will use this thread to document all the hydraulic additions to my 2520. I will append as I get stuff done enough to show it. I wish to show enough detail so someone could follow along if desired. I will show all the plumbing, and provide the fitting types where it would be helpful...

Anyone have an opinion. I know the B7800 is a more powerful machine, and at my local dealers about 1k less. Any input why I should go w/ the Deere? Thanks.

Attended our Spring Farm Show in Edmonton this weekend and checked out the new tractors. I love my Deere products but a dealer from Saskatchewan had the 15 Series Mahindras on show. Kind of impressive! Any JD fans checking out the Red Line up? I am leaning towards a JD 2520 but the 2615 HST...

I have a JD 2520 that I absolutely LOVE, but the only tire options were R4's and Turfs. I need to find a set of Aig or R1's for it, because the R4's on it do absolutely nothing in soft stuff. Its a loader tractor, so it needs traction. Anyone have any suggestions of where to look for these...

Hi I have been thinking of purchasing a JD 2520 to help me manage (transform) 2 acres. Currently scrub with no grass but want to turn it the other way. Tasks I want the 2520 to do are: leveling out lumps in ground, help to clear scrub, small tree removal (getting out stumps), laying few pipes...

ok, so im a die hard simplicity fan , sorta, I also like JD too. Ive had my heart set on a Legacy XL even though ive NEVER actually seen one in person yet or driven one. Dealers just never stock them or carry them, due to high cost i guess. I hope to drive one some day regaurdless. Ive priced...

Just bought this tractor, so far I love it... problem is that I have front loader, and mid deck... well I paid for the extra lift kit for the mower so I could use my 3-Point hitch independently... problem is that I often would like to use my loader, before or after cutting grass... with...

I have just installed a power beyond kit on a JD 2520 compact tractor. I just want to verify which port would be the pressure port and which would be the tank port?? Based on the sticker, it looks like the top (female coupler) would be the pressure port. Any insite would be greatly appretiated,

My John Deere 2520, I constantly find my storage hook for the center link 3 point hitch is bent open and will no longer hold it in place. I have bent the storage hook tight so the center link snaps back into it, but after mowing my yard, I look back and find it has bent open once again the the...

Time is running out for 0%... I would love to have a Deere 3000 series, but realistically I am comparing and ready to pull the trigger on a 2520 or 3030. The 3030 seems like more for the money or am I just getting caught up in specs? The tractors will not be used for mowing. I have 2.5 acres and...

Basically this is a 'if anyone here today knows a reason these two shouldn't be wed' type post. I gave the Kubotas a good look/ride but in comparison I really wasn't impressed. (from all the better than sliced bread posts I'm somewhat inclined to believe that they pay people to post favorably)...
