New 2305! I'm an idiot...

   / New 2305! I'm an idiot... #51  
My wife story: When I upgraded the tractor from a JD4300 to a JD 4520. I was using the rear blade fairly hard... The all of a sudden it wasn't pulling hard . Broke the blade right off the carrier. (memo: JD 4520,4720 are hp cat 2 not cat 1 ,but hardware is cat 1)

I was going over how to repair the blade when wife says " we don't have time for that, just go buy one." OK! gor bids from three dealers, bought best value. Arrived home with new hydraulic control cat1-2 blade (Landpride 4084) " When I said 'just go buy one' I didn't know you were thinking that!" The fact that I texted her the prices was ignored...

But, now that we have it, and how easy it is to use, she loves it. I am going to repair the original blade for use with her jd 2305 with grading wheels for her horse area.

LOL, I had a 2320 and was having a lot of trouble mowing in the high grass, my wife came out one day and said why don't you just buy a bigger tractor then? And I did. I love her. :thumbsup:

Hey guys,

Looks like I will officially be an idiot in a week or so. Talked to the dealer Friday, the backhoe is in and he said they may be able to have it to me by next Friday. He told me not to plan any projects for the weekend however. I emailed him to ask if there was anyway he could make it happen, I would appreciate it. Not holding out much hope, we will see. I ended up having them add the bypass valve, the independent lift I bought online, mulch kit for the 62C, light guards with forward work lights and ballast box. I've also ordered Chris's Artillian pallet fork frame and a set of the 36" forks. Haven't told the wife about the add-ons yet. I mentioned a sprayer the other day and she said "how big is that, where are you going to put it?" I told her I can buy a very nice sprayer for what Scott's wants to do the lawn for the year.

I'm pretty psyched and VERY tired of waiting. I am really beginning to dislike my little Cub Cadet every time I cut the grass. I just saw a guy down the road with a 2305, I must say, I was "green" with envy. :D

I'd say "MARRY THAT WOMAN!" but apparently you were already smart enough to do that...:laughing:

My wife knew she was in trouble when I just happened to show up with an airplane that I bought that I could justify for the business. We were only married two months and figured she would divorce me or we would be together forever. Well a few airplanes later we are still happily together and I am grateful she does not have expensive hobbies like me. Like others, she does not venture to far into the barn unless she is trying to catch here prized show goats. When that happened I usually catch **** for something that was hiding in there...

my wife cussed me and rolled her eyes everytime I mentioned I wanted to buy my 2320. After about 4 months she finally agreed that I could get it. Then she cussed me for adding a box blade, quick hitch, and frontend weights to the deal. But here is her on it the day it was delivered!

And she asked my tonight to put the loader back on so she can haul debris to the burn pile!

Scrappy you have committed a sin - you let your wife drive "your" tractor

you will suffer in purgatory until you buy a second tractor for yourself
