Hi, I am contemplating either installing or having my JD dealer install the JD Top and Tilt kit for my three point hitch (rear). My tractor already has a 4th and 5th SCV on the left rear (see pics). Has anyone done this so far? It does require an electronic diverter valve. I believe that...

Hi, I am in a bit of a quandary. I don't mind spending money on the right tool for the job, as long it will last. I have a JD2305 that I use for my mowing work around the house. I have pull behind spreader that does leave something to be desired. I have been trying to research the 3pt hitch...

I am considering buying a 3039r and would like to hear from owners on what you like about the tractor, what you don't like about it and lastly what kind of work you do with your unit. I also would like to know if anyone uses a 72D auto-connect and how well it works or doesn't. Thanks so much...

Looking for suggestions to rework a field that has become rough to the point of being somewhat painful to manage. I have the 2720 and the rototiller so wondering if I can borrow equipment to augment what I have to rework the area.

Hi guys. I am looking at buying a 7' Gaspardo Sickle Bar mower to perform fence line and ditch maintenance. I will be using it on my JD 2720. Does anyone have experience with this sickle bar? Maybe even attached to a CUT? The price seems attractive. It is 7 years old and looks to be in good...

Good morning all, Lovely day in the Pacific Northwest. I am the process of resurrecting a sickle bar mower. I am looking for a source / copy of an owner's manual. I am also looking for ideas, pictures, etc on how to attach the mower to a tractor with a 3pt hitch or drawbar. I have a JD...

Thanks so much guys. Sounds like my project for next winter. I inherited the 640 by way of marriage, not running, brought it back to life and found out it is a sweet ride for sure.

Good morning all. I am wondering if anyone has any tricks for locking the blades for removal. I don't have a stand or pneumatic gun. I will be laying on the floor with the deck installed.

Good morning all. It's a lovely day in the Pacific North West. I am wondering if anyone has run into the issue of their 2720, or any of the other 2 series JD's popping out of four wheel drive. Mine seems to pop out durning mowing down hill. It will stay in for a period and then I feel it pop...

Tried the R4s with the rudder (the brush hog with faulty rear wheel) and everything works well. I do not have FEL yet, so that isn't adding weight , however there are three hang-on weights on the front end. From what understand, the previous owner did a lot of snow blowing. I did install the...

Ok, so now it is time for me to tweak this thread. I am going to buy a 3320 probably used as the new prices are really tough to swallow. And here is my request; I would like every piece of information that everyone / anyone has in HOW to add a mid-PTO. I know that the JD configurator...

Hi everyone, my name is Jim. I have 5 acres which I maintain 3 plus. I am marrying a lovely lady with a 50 acre horse farm. I have a JD 2305 and she has a NH 1725. Between the two "yards" I am spending 6-7 hours just to mow them. With the addition of the horse farm and needing to green chop...
