JD 2520

[Petroman1]

I finally made a decision and purchased the 2520! 200CX FEL, 62DMMM, Wood Box Blade, I-Match, 46 Backhoe(when it arrives), 54" snowblower! I spent alot of time on TBN looking at various topics. Thank you to all of you that have made vairious posts. The incentives by JD, 0% for 72 months and the $2500.00 rebate on attachements with this model helped. I really like the pedal configuration on the JD and the dealer was a great help. When I visited some of the local competitors it was difficult to get the time of day. The old saying of first impressions is very true. I look forward to years of use out of this machine!

Congratulations Petroman1 on your new 2520 you were lucky to find one apparently on the dealers lot. A lot of us are waiting in line for our 2520s.

Sweet looking machine! :thumbsup:

Welcome to TBN petroman!
You sure got a handful of attachments too.
Funny you mentioned a Woods box blade. Yours is painted green and I'm sure it's labeled Frontier,but Woods actually makes them for JD.:thumbsup:

I look forward to years of use out of this machine!

I'm sure your 2520 is eager to oblige.

I had the exact same experience. For a short time I was torn between the JD & Kubota. I liked the tree-range selection of the Kubota HST as well as a more affordable price, but the idea of the pedal configuration on the Kubota kept driving me nuts! Heel / toe, reverse / forward, not to mention having to hike your leg for the brake on the BX's. We received decent care & attention at the Kubota dealership, but when my wife and I visited the John Deere dealer, the care and attention that we received was oustanding. The salesman answered the many questions that I had, took his time, and even put me on a 2520 for a test drive. With the $2500 incentive, I was sold! I will post a couple of pictures once the tractor is delivered .

It is green and says Woods on it. Not the Frontier brand. Thanks for the feedback.

I finally made a decision and purchased the 2520! 200CX FEL, 62DMMM, Wood Box Blade, I-Match, 46 Backhoe(when it arrives), 54" snowblower! I spent alot of time on TBN looking at various topics.

So I was at the dealer yesterday and the #46 back hoe with the 16" bucket finally arrived. It will be picked up next week and installed. The snow blower will be delivered at that time as well.

Congrats on the #46 backhoe and and the 54" snowblower :thumbsup: Two nice attachements.

I can't imagine living in Maine that you have any rocks to move :laughing:

I'm so glad I don't have a snowblower for my 2520. I spent many years of my life doing battle with snow, and that's one attachment I don't miss having

Thinking of getting a backhoe for my 2720 but don't want the hassle of removing the MMM system and 3pt hitch arms each and every time I install it. Is there another unit that runs off the rear PTO that would do the trick?
