No worries Kenny D. Some people may need to compensate for other short comings.

Thank you. By the way, did you see my glorified lawn mower digging out that big hickory stump? LOL
Enjoy your unit. I have the 2305 configured with the same attachments. I also like you have a larger tractor to move the stump after it is dug up. The backhoe is a pricey attachment but one that I have found many uses for. Never have been brave enough to install a thumb though.
The dealer where I purchased the 2305 also sells the large backhoe units. He advised me not to try and elevate the front and rear by using the out riggers and bucket as is commonly done with the large backhoe unit and instead try to seek a balance where the outriggers, bucket and tires where all providing support. I have tried to follow that advise and have enjoyed good service and longevity out of the unit. I also have the independent lift for the middle mount mower and enjoy mowing with the unit.
A word of caution. Look at the way the lights are mounted on the roll bars. I have a fence that parallels my drive way. The side of the road slopes towards the fence, I was happily mowing along close to the fence and the pitch of the shoulder changed and the next fence post I came too got the light on the left. The replacement cost for the 2305 was approximately $50.00. A couple weeks later I was mowing next to a utility pole with a guy wire and got the light again. So my advise is, profit from my two mistakes and always be aware of the lights when mowing around fence posts and guy wires. :laughing:
