Jumping Ship

Well, I finally done it. I have decided to leave the blaze orange family and go Green!

I am trading up my BX24 for a John Deer 2520. I just like having my brakes on the left side!:laughing:

I hope along the way I have been able to help out some of the users of this Forum.

Take Care.

Individual brake pedals on the left can come in handy.

Hey you buy wha you like, after all It's your money and you want to spend it now. But If your tractors are hydro why do you need to use the brakes other then parking?

When plowing snow and scrapping ice in the winter. Gotta use the cutting edge and the front wheels of the tractor are off the ground.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

The 2520 is a good little tractor; enjoy.

Really handy if you are back dragging with the loader bucket and have the front wheels off the ground. Just hit the left or right brake to steer.

Only if you're left handed or Nova Scotian...

That's funny, spell check doesn't know the difference.

I really can't complain about switching over, I got about $3000 less that what I paid for the 4 year old BX on trade. It is almost like a rental, $750 a year is a good deal. I ended up with a better (depending on how you are looking at it) tractor for less money than I originally paid for the BX. And now I got another warranty again.

But---but; I'm a right handed Canadian fortunate enough to be living in Nova Scotia.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Isn't Nova Scotia part of Maine?

Yep, and y'know...I forgot the brake pedals on a Deere HST tractor are on the left.
My MANLY Deere has a reverser (reversre for you Canadians) and the brake pedals properly located on the right...

Or John Deere really likes selling Kubotas!

ChuckinNH · May 5, 2011

Not to worry, moving from the trouble free, and perfectly designed Kubotas, there is no knowledge you could take about classified fixes, and work arounds, things to watch for etc. that would pose a theat to our club.

Hey, by the way though, they don't make chains to fit yellow rear wheels on the 2000 series do they? Make sure you get the newly designed three point hitch arms that clear the back tires too......... there are still some of the old straight ones around. I am envious of your steering brakes, and position control though!!!! Just helped my neighbor hook my chipper up to his Massey, and was surprised how nice the position control was even for that.

Every dealer enjoys having good tractors on their lot!

I scrape snow bare from my driveway everytime it snows and I've done a lot of backgrading with a bucket, I just can't remember needing brakes to steer????

I guess that is why dump cylinders get bent! Got to love you guys!!!
