new addition to the stable

[Cidertom]

New 2305 for the wife next to my 4520. Second pix was just to see if it would even pick the 4-in-1 up.

Nice pair you have there but I thought your wife said this new one was for you.

Wife doesn't really like working the 4520. She says it's too big. Plus I hope this eliminates some of the "would you move X to over there" statements.

So now I have a tractor with a cat 1 3pt that is actually in the cat 2 hp range, and a tractor with a cat 1 3pt that really isn't. Sounds like something from the military "we only have two sizes: Too large, and too small"

Have some accessories to buy: Thre is a guy on ebay that is selling a nice looking fan guard. And I am looking for a foldable rops for the 2305.

Cidertom;
I have one small question. Why do they call themselves VOLUNTEER firemen... when they are paid for their service. We do volunteer work every week and there is no paycheck... just satisfaction helping others.

 

[Dutch445]

Around here, rural upstate, all of the local munincipalities have
non paid volunteer departments. There are larger departments
that have paid on duty firemen, but they are usually in a city setting.

 

[Cidertom]

I don't get a dime. My last district I was with we got a stipend that worked out about $2.00 a call "for gas"

The district I'm with now, we don't even get that.

So far this year I have over 400 hours of direct activity. That doesn't count class prep, publishing the district news letter etc. , just formal activities.

All the JD QA should interchange between the 200/300/400 fel units.
I don't know if the buckets sold for the 200 are made lighter than the others. I know that the 4520 has the ability to push the limits of the implements.

 

[AKfish]

Nah... you don't really want to put the standard 49" bucket for the 2520 on the front end of a 4520!!

Good way to exercise your welding skills, however. Repairing and reinforcing...

If it is the same bucket, then it should work no problem. I do know that JD has some buckets that are lighter than others.

Have fun.
