Where can I get a spreader for my 2305? It doesn't "have" to be a JD brand, I just need one for fertilizer and lime on occasion.

EasyE,

I purchased this one from thesmartfarmer.com -- so far I have been nothing but pleased with it:



Cost was $299 plus freight.

If you do go this way, you should cut down the included pto shaft by about 1"

Cheers

Please explain about the cut down part?

EasyE,

Very simple. The PTo shaft comes in a 2 piece unit so it can telescope as needed to raise, lower and attach. It is also shrouded for safety with a 2 piece plastic shield. All you have to do is remove the plastic shield, separate the two piece shaft, and remove about 1" with a hacksaw. After filing off the burrs, you reassemble the unit. Very simple. Even I can do it. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif The only reason I mention this, is that some forum members have had expensive, and non-warranty crashes with damage to the transaxle. On my 2210, raising the spreader to the top, only lightly collided with my PTO and why take any chances with a very simple adjustment. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
