New Green 2305

[Wanabgreen]

Mayor, the pics look great. I am in the process of deciding between a 2305 and 2320. I think it will all come down to a toss of the coin. I like the light set up on your 2305. I was wondering where the switch is located. A picture would be great, I'm a visual learner. Did the dealer set that up for you? Do you have a rear light?

There is a lighting harness factory installed at the rear of the tractor. It's wired through the normal headlight switch. If the headlights are on, the worklights are on. JD says (in the manual for the lights) that the front lights are not compatible with the rear light. I have all three on my tractor and they "work" without blowing any fuses or anything, but I'm about to install a switch so I can toggle between the front and the back just to be safe. If you decide to install all three, you will have to wire one of the "Y" connectors backwards in order to get all the connectors hooked up.

Switch is the same for the lights.

I moved my lights from the top of the guards to the inside of the ROPS. At the same time, I suspended the one from the top of the ROPS (underneath) pointing forward and the other just inside the guard pointing back. Works pretty good. If I need more light forward, I can just turn the rearward facing light around. Having the lights at different elevations and attitudes seems to light up the area in front of ther tractor really well.

This is a quick add on and is so0o0o0o0o nice to use. Most have bolts on the outside that can cut you but this one is slick. Makes the 2305 handle like a lawn tractor with AWS. Well not AWS but you get the idea.

Loogie and I worked on this project. He has a few more pictures of his set up but here are mine. We ran a switched 12 volt powerport to the rear of the tractor. Both of us are using 12 volt sprayers (he has a cool boom system). This was run from the battery to the switck then to the powerport. Did not cut into any factory wires and used wire loom on the full run. Still working on my sprayer bracket to fit the iMATCH quick hitch (he had a custom carry all built). This sprayer mount as mocked up in PVC that I had laying around. The size of the tube is not right but I needed to see how it was going to work. This will be mounted to the sprayer and is not for anything else. I hope Loogie will post a few pictures his set up is really slick!!!

Also worked the last few weeks on getting the shed project done. Still waiting for the stone to be dropped off. Made some nice beds around the pad to plant some stuff. Also will help keep the soil in place and it is easy to cut around.

Mayor, that shed project looks great! Can't wait to see the finished product and the landscaping.

Still waiting for the stone but made some head way on the bed layout.
