New 2720

[wooden]

I have not received my new tractor as yet but still have a few questions about power beyond and diverter valve. I ordered the 2720 with a 200cx loader and 62D belly mower Backhoe will come later, However, I was told I needed a power beyond kit to get hydraulics to the back of the tractor if I wanted to run a backhoe or any other accessories. not having the tractor in hand as yet makes it difficult to understand all this.

#1...What exactly is a diverter valve ? I was told I need it if I wanted to lift the mower deck hydraulically . This would free up the three point for other use.

#2 how difficult is it to install a power beyond kit?

I live in the US Virgin Islands , so I can't just drive over to a John Deere dealer to ask these questions. There are no Deere dealers here.

Thanks!! Hope I can find the help I will be needing here. this new tractor will take some learning. I also own a 1992 318 john deere that I call my little monster> my land is pretty steep and that little machine is tops. Getting a bit tired now so I will be re powering it with a new engine after my 2720 gets here. Thanks again for the welcome.

Hello and welcome to TBN

As for your questions...

You may want to post this in the JD forum section:

John Deere Forum - Compact Tractors, Lawn Mowers, Ag Tractors, Construction

or even the hydraulic section:

Hydraulics - TractorByNet.com

but I think I woudl try the JD section first (owning / operating)

ps.....we also would love to see photos of your new tractor when you get it. We love photos here
