2520 Questions

[Gobblin Tom]

I worked my 2520 like crazy yesterday in the woods. I have about 6 springs coming out of the hillside onto my quad/tractor path. I used the rear blade to recut and level the path to make it safer for the tractor pulling logs out. I also had the thing up to the frame in soupy nasty slop, a couple of times I had to use the bucket to push myself back out but was amazed that it was going thru that slop! The bucket teeth to me are worth their weight in gold!!! The day before I dug a 3 1/2' pit for my burning pit down thru shell and clay. As far as the path goes I am going to leave it dry up until tomorrow and go at it again. The 2520 is a workhorse! I just have over 20hrs on mine now and 5 of them were from yesterday!!! You could always use the iMatch to haul logs (skid) I think it's safer and puts the weight over the rear wheels. Good luck on your adventure!!!!

Great tractor! I have been getting hours in on the box scrape. Levelled 600 yards of cleaned top soil after laying 1" plastic piping for undergound water system with my 2520. She made easy work out of both, and the smaller stance is nice around a lot of trees and tight places.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences. I'll consider all of this information before making my decsion. It looks like I'm not going to be ready to pull the trigger before the May promotions run out so I'll have all summer to think about it. Recently a neighbor was trying to talk me into a Kubota 3240. I realize its a larger tractor but I'm really wondering if I'll need it after reading your assessment of the 2520.
Thanks again,
RJ
