I HOPE TO HAVE MY NEW DEERE 2320 FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.
BIG DOOLEY MY USER NAME IS THE NAME OF MY 1998 CHEVY PICKUP I BOUGHT NEW.

Good to have you aboard. Is that rear blade in the middle picture, one of your modifications?

THANKS AND HELLO.
YES I MODIFIED A TSC 60 INCH BLADE. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON ADJUSTABLE SKID SHOES FOR IT.
THE BLADES ARE SO LIGHT WEIGHT IT NEEDED SOME METAL TO STRENGTHEN IT AND I ALSO ADDED A PARK STAND. THE WELDS WERE COMPLETED AS IT WAS JUST STICHED WELDED TOGETHER.
I HAVE ALSO MADE A SHORTER ROPS WITH A CANOPY, A STAINLESS STEEL BEER KEG FRONT MOUNTED SPRAYER WITH A 12V PUMP AND 5' BOOM, A STAINLESS STEEL FRONT BRUSH GUARD THAT TILTS FOR HOOD ACCESS.
LATER I INTEND TO BUILD A 3 POINT FIREWOOD CARRIER. I WILL TRAILER THE TRACTOR TO OUR PROPERTY AND USE IT TO HAUL WOOD TO THE TRUCK.

THANKS FOR THE REPLY.
LOTS OF OLD TRACTORS IN MICHIGAN.
MY INLAWS OWN A FARM HERE AND HAVE SOME OLD RUSTED DISPLAY ONLY TRACTORS TO SOME RESTORED ONES AS WELL.
MY BROTHER IN-LAWS HAVE BEEN GROWING THE ORIGINAL FARM AND BUYING MORE NEWER EQUIPMENT W/GPS AND ARE MARRIED TO FARMING.
ONE SEED COMPANY JUST CAME TO VISIT AND TOOK THEM TO THEIR FACTORY ON A PRIVATE JET FOR A TOUR AND DINNER.
