Nice to hear you are very pleased with your tractor... I placed an order for a 2305 on Friday. Now, I will patiently wait /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I learn something new everyday that I use the 2305. The i-match is a must, I learned that today. It makes things so much easier, works like the front end of a bobcat. Glad to hear you are joining the ranks, you should be happy with it. It pays for itself everyday that you use it. Got mine from CB&C in Cuba City. Are you close to Dubuque, I go into Sindts for motorcycle stuff(Triumph) Gary and the guys are good to work with. Let us know when you get the 2305. Fitz /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I'm about 90 miles straight West of Dubuque on Hwy 20 (Cedar Falls). How far East of Dubuque are you? I just sold my Honda Shadow ACE this fall. Not a long time bike owner but I've owned a couple. Love 'em but decided to let mine go.... I've never been to Sindts but have heard very good things. So do you ride over to Sindts on your bike or tractor now? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Btw: Did you go with the 53" bucket on your tractor?

No, the guy on the tractor is a Packer fan and he rides to Green Bay from somewhere by the Mississippi. Ha Ha! I'm a Bears fan! I ride the bike down, can talk to Gary for hrs. I got the 53" bucket, seems to be enough, without ballast you will ride 2 or 3 wheels easy. Cold sweat a few times, but nothing bad. I'm amazed at how much it will actually p/u, really makes it nice picking up the cut up oak trees that we have. It'll pick up a good sized piece and put it in the trailer no problem. A lot nicer spitting it back on the concrete pad than out in the field. You will want to get chains for the snow, and the 6' rear blade is really nice. For snow and for the gravel driveway in the summer. In September we head down to Davenport for the motorcycle swap meet. That is the heaven of vintage stuff to be seen.

if I understand that exept for the engine the 2305 is mechanicallly identical to the 2210 then no, haven't had any prob with the hydro sticking. and pay attention to the post by JDFANATIC about the glow plugs, if on the 2305 they work the same as the 2210 (goofy) then this technique works great.

Thanks for your thoughts on the tractor... appreciate it. I've been beating myself over the head trying to figure out the bucket thing. I have a 49" on my 2210 and I planned to get the 53 (not 61) until the dealer said to go with the 61" /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif .

I never took my bike on any real long rides. Mainly used it to get around town or short little drives. I loved my last bike... not a Harley /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif instead it was a 03' Honda Shadow Ace. Sounded perfect, ran superb and looked really sweet. I finally just decided to let it go until my kids are grown and gone. Then I'll decide whether to get another or not. In the mean time I've got plenty of other things that keep my mind off a bike /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif ... Dubuque would have been a pretty ride... never did make the ride over on my bike...

see ya around the forum.

I'm only up to 6 hours with 5 of those hours box blading the wash. Love the 2305, it does everything I need and then some. It was the most comfortable one of the sub-cuts I tested.
