( ...how to make some sort of a "t" adapter with a valve...)

Like BigPete, I also hat to reply to myself. (Too close to answering yourself while talking to yourself /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif)

If one were really good, make the valve left-foot operated and you'd never miss a beat working it. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

My uneducated guess would be 4 models like the 3000 and 4000 series.

2120 @ 18 hP
2320 @ 22 hp
2520 @ 25 hp
and a 2720 @ 28-29 hp.

Deere needs a subcompact line up to better compete with Kubota as previously metioned. They also need something to encourage 2305 owners up the "ladder" to a little bigger tractor with more options and creature comforts.

I love the look of the 2305 but I am a bit dissappointed that Deere did not think to include options like (1) a foldable ROPS, (2) tilt steering and (3) a more modern looking dash / instrument panel.

Any idea how long until the x500 series is up dated or dropped from the line up? The 2210 was introduced shortly after the x series.

Just some thoughts

( This is where it gets confusing,,
there was a kit for the 4100/4110, and that one needed rear
hydraulic kit, which was just a relocation of the loader control lines...

ROCKSHAFT LIFT KIT
This new independent lift system (LVB25010) for the 4110
and 4100 mid-mower decks frees up the use of the rear
rockshaft. This enables the mid-mount mower deck to
remain attached while using a rear implement. A hydraulic
cylinder raises and lowers the mid-mount mower completely
independently of the rockshaft. This is available as a
field installed option.
Note: Tractors must be equipped with LVB25138 (attaching
parts) and LVBM19707 (rear hydraulic coupler) 
)

Dutch, do you have any more info on this kit(LVB25010)? Like a price?

What about the:
4115 - 24 HP
4210 - 28 HP
4310 - 32 HP
4410 - 35 HP

Deere also tends to over emphasize HP on the smaller tractors by stating the rating at a higher RPM. So although the HP rating on a 4115 and the 2320 appear similar, the 4115 has the bigger engine.

Ken,
The system says it has a list price of $446, but they only show 7 kits in Deere's inventory. I suspect it isn't a big
seller. I know I have yet to sell one.

Most of the time, the lock up kit does the job, and frees up
the 3ph. With the 2210/2305 there is the lock position for the deck with the mower height selector knob, which the 4110 doesn't have.

There have been previous threads on home made cylinders
for the mower lift. I believe for the 2210....

Deere also tends to over emphasize HP on the smaller tractors by stating the rating at a higher RPM. 

That bugged me, too. Then I noticed that almost all brands are doing that on the small machines.

My guess is that these machines are intended primarily as mowers and the rating is closer to where they are operated in the real world. So it is safe to compare sub-CUT numbers to other sub-CUTs but buyers need to realize that there are different yardsticks when comparing them to CUTs.....

...If they are going to do this, they should have done it with a diverter or some independant control, this does not seem like a great way to plumb the cylinder... 

So go I take it you aren't gonna buy a 2503 after all?!! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Thanks Dutch, that sure is pricey. I would like to have a look at one though...But cannot find it in JDParts. Any chance they will put them in the 50% off clearence bin /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Dutch445 · Aug 3, 2005

It's odd they don't have it in the parts system, and the system doesn't have what they call the bundle breakdown. Usually, these kits can be broken down by parts included and searched that way... But, nothing is coming up.

I really don't think they sell many of them, especially
with only a handful available at the warehouse.

I came home from work yesterday, my wife said she had some good news and bad news for me /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Right away I thought she wrecked our new F150 but no she said. She told me she wrecked the horse trailer, tore off a marker light and put a huge dent in the fender /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif. After 3 hours and 25 tools I had it all fixed up. Later in the evening she said you want to trade up for that new John Deere /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif(feeling sorry that she wrecked the trailer I think) I couldn't give her an answer. I guess I'll sleep on for a few days. (hoping she might dent something else) so I could get more.

Life is good /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
