The release date is Thanksgiving day. What a coincidence. It's a real shame that it is taking so long to get this backhoe set up. How soon after release date will you get the kit?
It is supposed to be shipped directly to my dealer (michigan to ohio). Should be in the following week I'm guessing.
I had to dig a water line for repair today. I used my loader with my new Markham toothbar. I think it would have been much easier with the BH.
I think I would have purchased a different tractor had I known the BH wasn't going to fit. This has really screwed up my plans. I like the 2305, just needed the BH real bad. Since it is my ballast too, I haven't been able to used the loader to its ability either.

I am glad to hear that all will finally be coming together. Let us know how the Backhoe works with the 2305. Also, glad to hear that there are no more issues with the radiator.
I have been enjoying the 2305. I use the box blade the most, but I definitely believe the top link that comes with the 2305 is too long. I am going to get a cheap one and cut 2 inches out of it as is explained by Davkir in a post in JD Owning/Operating section named "2305 Box Blade Problem".
The standard top link will not allow you to pitch the blade forward enough. So far this is the only trouble I have had with the tractor.
I hope it all smooths out after the kit is installed.
