2305 trade in complete-Action photos inside

[T185]

Picked up my new 2520 yesterday at the dealer and I was able to get some muddy seat time today.

Before the mud

Testing the lifting difference, on the forks is a 72" cast iron bath tub from a bathroom remodeling project. I was able to carry the tub with the 2305 about 6" off the ground and on three wheels Here is the 2520 at full height at about 1500 RPM

Next are a couple of photos of a large blown down during the last storm. Note the log is 24" at the large end

Last is some fun in the mud

Great pictures, bet you had a grin from ear to ear didnt ya? I went from a 2210 to the 2520 so I know how you felt when finding out what it will do. Have fun and be careful doing it!!

What forks are you using? Are those the Deere / Frontier forks?

Heck, these pictures make me grin ear to ear too!! Sweeet. Love the setup!! Lets get some front and rear ROPS lights put on there so you can play into the night as well.

Makes me want to get out on muy Deere and play. I love forks on a loader now that I have them!!

Made the forks myself.
Purchased a used pair of pallet forks for $75 and then made the frame from scraps laying around the shop.

Great pics.

That's a great looking setup you have there! Looks like you sure didn't wait around to put it to good use. The R-4's are directional though, and it looks like your dealer should have swithched sides of the tractor when he flipped the rear tires for clearance. I think the tires won't load up as easily if they are going in the other direction?

Good eye!

Those R4's look to me to be on backwards also.

Thanks for the heads up, I did have the dealer reverse the tires to clear the three point hitch (which still rubs ) I make the switch myself today.

Looking good.

Do you have any other attachments?

Don't forget to also double check the torque on your loader mount bolts and pin nuts. My dealer missed one on a pin and the nut actually came off.

Nice job on the forks too.

Nice machine. I got my 2320 muddy right away too. (Not too tough to do this time of year). Enjoy!
