I’ve got a question for all of you who use IBC tote cages to store and move firewood. What do you do with all of the 275-300 gallon plastic containers? I’m pretty sure that they won’t fit into the dumpster at the recycling center! Thanks. Frank

I know I’m not alone in finding the I got the COVID thread locked [emoji57]. I was following along not for the scintillating discussions regarding politics, vaccines, or the CDC ... Many of us are truly interested in how Eddie and his wife are doing in their recuperation from the plague...

I traded for a used 2008 JD2520 in 2012 when it had about 300 hours on it. The dealer had recently changed hydraulic fluid and coolant. I’ve kept up with oil changes and lubricants. I am now coming up on the 500 hour service mark and was wondering what else I should be checking ... Frank

To my fellow TBN problem solvers ... Background: Yesterday the 3 point was operating normally except for somewhat limited lift height because of a bent (twisted) bracket (Item B, page 60-35-2 of JD2520 Technical Manual). This bracket attaches the depth control handle to the rockshaft eccentric...

Hi All, I've kept this one pretty close to my vest for the last few weeks. Tried it out today and am very pleased with the results. 1) I have a triangular 3 point drawbar that many of us use to move light trailers around. 2) A couple of years ago my welder friend beefed it up with a center...

I've seen in some old posts that I've searched that there is a smart phone app out there to find a JD tractor model year with a S/N. However, I'm one of the holdouts with my 'stupid' phone! Anyone out there willing to provide me with my 2520's model year? The S/N is LV2520H 407216. Thanks a...

I know that we all love to spend the other guys money on this site. Here's a question for all of you. If you were going to buy a new truck this year and your choice was limited to the Toyota Tundra or the GM Siverado/Sierra which would you get? I need to tow a 2000 lb boat/trailer combo and a...

Hi All, So fresh off my successful 2520 block heater installation, my friend who has a 320 Skid Steer wants my assistance installing a BH. We have checked the available parts for this model and find the following ... The style of this heater is quite different from the one I just installed...

I would like to install a block heater in my used JD2520. I purchased the heater this fall from the local dealer (Part#AR87167). When I looked at the block there were a couple of possibilities for installation. On the left side of the tractor (point of reference is driver痴 seat) there are...

Hello all. I purchased a used JD2305 almost 6 years ago. That's when I joined this forum. It pretty much always treated me well. Yesterday I traded it for a used JD2520. :) Man, what an upgrade. I've already put on 3.4 hours rototilling my garden and chipping up the debris left over from...

Well according to the weatherman, we were supposed to get less than 1 inch of snow today. At 6PM we are at about 6-8" and still snowing lightly. It is warming up so it will be raining by dawn. Temps might be real close to freezing. I'm going to wait until morning to plow even though I'm...

Hello All. We just started year #12 on our Toro ZTR with a 52" deck powered by a 17 horse Kohler. It's very apparent that this mower is not going to make it through another springs worth of grass. I've been very happy with our dealer over the years. Since we got this mower in 2002, he has...

Hi All, I will be replacing an existing propane fired forced hot air furnace coupled with a cental air conditioner very soon. My dealer of choice has offered me several options, but the 2 at the top of the list are ... 1) replacement gas furnace (LP) and a central A/C unit both of similar...

I plowed my garden yesterday to let the earth rest for the off season. No matter where I pointed the camera the 2305 and plow seemed to be in the frame! Turning ground is sure a good feeling. Have a good day. Frank

I am ready to tap into our huge knowledge base here again. I have a single bottom 3pt land plow that I pull behing my JD2305 to turn over the garden in the fall. Since the 2305 does not have draft control on the 3pt I find it difficult to maintain a constant depth of my furrows. Have any of...

Well after much thought, reading on TBN, and shopping around- I picked up a tiller yesterday. I bought a Land Pride RTR 1550 from the neighborhood Kubota dealer! He gave me a pretty good deal and the tiller seemed like the "solidest' of those that I saw. I know that some might think that the...

My MIL has this antique tractor in her backyard utility shed. It used to belong to the father of her deceased husband. He always said that it was a Kinkade and was intending to restore it. Would there be any interest out there in this machine? Any hints as to value would be appreciated...

Hi All, I started following and participating in TBN after purchasing my JD2305 last July. I saw several discussions in the late summer/early fall on modifications to a rear blade to make it more "driveway friendly" for snow plowing. This is my version of one of the many ideas I saw and...

Hello All, Before I graduated to the true SCUT world I ran a 25hp (Kohler engine)Craftsman Garden tractor for my needs around the property. I bought it new in 2004 with a 42"snow blade, 48" mower deck, 12" moldboard plow, and 42" sprigtooth cultivator. What does the group think a complete...

Hello All- I have no problem with the proper service intervals for the engine on my log splitter (free-standing), but don't know the "rules of thumb" for when to change the hydraulic fluid, the filter, etc. I want to ensure long implement life, but don't want to dispose of still useful fluid...
