john deere 2305

I have had my 2305 for three years and have mmm, front blade, snowblower and recently picked up a used FEL.. the loader had been sitting outside and I had to replace 2 of the quick connects and some of the o-rings... other than that it is in great shape.. I attached the loader, greased all the...

I have a JD 2305 that was running just fine, I shut it off for only a few minutes. It would not restart. It would run for just a second then die each time I would attempt to start it. After some initial troubleshooting and Google searches, I figured the problem to be the Fuel Shutoff...

Hello everyone: After reading a lot of opinions, I ordered a 260 backhoe with 12" bucket for my 2305 this week. Also ordered ripper with trencher and bolt-on thumb from Richard at Bro-Tek. I am having the dealer install the 260. I expect to use it for the first time by June. There is no...

think i'm gonna pull the trigger on a FEL for my 2305; just moved to our 3 acre lot and new home, have lots of landscaping and stuff to do so I think it'll get used lots. bought the tractor used, @75 hrs, so there's plenty of life left in her. I noticed the 200cx was the FEL i'd order last...

My tractor seems to be straining with only a little load. I don't know if it's a hydro problem or not. When I look at the sight gauge it just looks red, don't see any lines. I have put fluid in it. Any ideas what may be causing this? I'm a new owner and don't know much about tractors. Thanks..

I have searched but came up empty. I need u joints for my drive-shaft and understand Kabota has them for their machines and are the same as JD. Unfortunately JD only sells the entire shaft at over $500.00 which I just can not afford at this time. Any help with pt numbers would be helpful. Thanks.

Does anyone know if a backhoe from a SC2450 will work on a John Deere 2305? A friend with the 2305 needs a backhoe. Rather than rent a trailer to bring my whole tractor, I'd rather just put the backhoe on a small trailer and bring that over. Thanks, Flounder11

Last fall my wheel spindles wore out. I turned tdown the wheels on my wood lathe and inserted high speed bearings. Cut off the spindles and welded on bolts. Attached a few pis. If anyone interested in more info, send me an email. Regards, Bill

Hi All Been looking at a few types of collection systems to hook up to my 2305, ranging from baggers to tow carts. I have about 2 acres to mow, and would like some input as to what you guys are using and what they set you back. Any info would be greatly appreciated! gixxer

I made the Bucket leveler shortly after purchasing my 2010/2305. Normally not needed in my opinion, but I was moving a lot of dirt ( 20 ton ) on my pond dam and it came in handy. While turning and adjusting level, I could pull up to the pile and drop- level every time. I have attached a few...

After 11 years on 7 very muddy acres, we finally bought a tractor! I am learning slowly :-). Last night, after 4 hrs of mid removal, I moved to a different chore to relax: harrowing the arena. But I can't get the harrow level. The odd part is that after adjusting it, it pulled straight...

Hello! I have a JD 2305 with about 300 hours on it. I bought it new and it is my only tractor. I have the 62 inch mmm, 200CX loader, 60" tiller, and 4' rotary cutter. I finish mow about 2 acres regularly and have another 2 acres that I cut down with the rotary cutter a couple times a year...

I remember reading a thread a year or so ago describing how an owner of a 2305/2210 added an elbow to kick the exhaust out to the side instead of forward. I have searched with no luck. Can anyone point me toward some useful info?

Happy new years. Think I need a new alternator, should I upgrade to the 35volt? Also, cant seem to find the part number for either alternators. Has anyone seen a downlodable manual for the 2305? Thanks in advance!

Just put the blower on for first time this year, yeah! I have a question on noise when you put the blower down on the ground. It makes some awful noises and sounds like the entire unit is going to vibrate off. It's a 2305 with a 47 inch quick attach blower on the front. It seems that when...

I have a 2305, when new (2010) I took the mower deck off and used a box blade, put the mower deck back on and tractor wouldn't lift the deck. Figured out it was missing the travel bar that came with the tractor. I welded a 2 inch by 6 inch plate on the arm on the left rear 3 point hitch...

Somebody may have discussed this topic before but I couldn't find anything. I have ran regular gas station diesel in my 2305 since new. Last week I was in my diesel camper and the station had off road diesel 50 cents per gallon cheaper. I googled it and found its due to not paying the road...

How do I remove the fuse cover on the 40A main system fuse?

Of the four quick disconnects for the FEL, one has really started leaking (3 or 4 drops per minute). I don't see any obvious signs of wear and it seems to fit properly. Should I just replace the entire connection, or is there a repair kit?? I'm looking for ideas... I've never had one of these...

I an using Rotella T in my JD 2305. JD Plus 50 use goes for 200 hours between changes, any thoughts on how long using Rotella. Tractor sees light use.

JD 2305 I have a 2010 / 2305 that I purchased new. It has a 54" mmm. The deck is set to mow so only when hitting high spots does the wheels turn. I have greased the wheels each and every time I mow my 4-5 acres. With that said, the wheel metal spindles are worn. Thinking of routing out...

my 2305 once in a while it has a engine miss for a second ,changed fuel filter 10 hour ago (it has 212 hrs), any ideas?

My company's 2305 has developed a hydraulic whine. It has about 500 hours on it. The hydraulic oil, filters and screen were changed/cleaned about 50 hours (of use) ago. The unit does not have an FEL, nor any rear implements used. Just a 3 blade belly mower deck. The deck doesn't seem to...

I've finally decided a SCUT is my best option...80% mowing, 20 % odd jobs (firewood, landscaping, etc). I've run the circuit on shopping. I'm still considering the following; All Loader/MMM. JD 1026R $17K (2305) $10.5K +/- Mahindra Max 22 or 25...

Hi All, I know I just posted about this, but I did not realize I posted just on top of a very similar thread. Basically, I am combing the combined knowledge of the TBN site to see if there are any replacement seats for the 2305 that have some suspension in them. My current seat is getting...

Hello All, Its been a while since I last posted, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a suspension seat that will fit my JD 2305. I have two main reasons for this. Firstly, After 7 years of ownership, the original seat is beginning to get a bit beat up. Secondly, as I have stated before, I...

I'm a new owner of a used 2008 John Deere 2305 tractor and I'm very much new to the whole 3 point hitch thing. My tractor is outfitted with a model 260 backhoe which I can take on and off quickly now... but the mounting brackets stay on the tractor. This weekend is the first time I've tried to...

Hoping someone can help me because the JD configurator has me confused. My father purchased a used 4100 with a complete Quick Hitch and blower unit that he doesn't need. I have a 2305 and need a snowblower. Do I just need the front attach support kit (lvb25396) or do I need to buy everything new...

When I start my 2008 John Deere tractor up, it will start and then tries to run and dies within 5 seconds. I checked the lights and they are on and bright. Took the battery in to have it tested and it is fine. I was told that there are some safety switches on the tractor that won't let the...

Hello everyone. I have a John Deere 2305 tractor which I totally love. I will be posting an ask for help question in the forum.

I recently purchased a 2305 and i am looking to purchase a front quick hitch to accomodate my jd#47 snowblower. I also need the pto and upstop attachments. Thanks Craig

New to forum. I have a JD model 2305 year 2008. Only 73 hrs on tractor. Thinking about selling it. Where can I find the value of tractor?

Rookie mistake. I bought a used Kubota tiller, tried it on a garden and was perfect. I then put my iHitch on that added 4-5 inches. Next time I used it- the PTO shaft broke into pieces. This was due to the extra extension from the iHitch Recommendation : look up on uTube how to adjust...

I'm doing the first transmission oil and filter change on a John Deere 2305 and I've never done a tractor before. Inside the cylindrical transmission suction screen, there are 4 bar magnets - each about 3/16 x 3/16 x 3 inches. When I took the magnets out, they were all clumped together instead...

I want to be able to hookup a sickle mower to my JD 2305 and the sickle mower has a hydraulic lift for the blade. I am installing a power beyond kit (on order) and I assume I need some sort of control valve as well that would hook up to my power beyond and then supply hydraulics to my sickle...

Just sold my X748 with loader so I can buy a new 1026R, but I have a chance to buy a 2305 with 62C instead. It has 100 hours and looks new. Still has a year of warranty. Anyone have any advice? I don't normally buy used, but I want to make the right decision.

After a catastrophic case failure on my JD 2305, I bought a JD 2320. I love it but now I'm starting to wonder if I need something larger yet. The only chore the tractor struggles with tilling with my 60" king kutter (Behlen) tiller. My wife mows with the JD Z465 Zt and if I help her, the 2320...

Hello, I am new here and I need some insight; I recently purchased a jd2305 and I can't get it to run for more then a few minutes. It doesn't matter whether the deck is engaged or not, or if it is even in gear -the tractor will run properly until it drops power, starts to shake and finally...

Engine is rated at 3000 RPM. Does everyone work at 3000 except for the PTO at 2900? Or do you sometimes work at lower RPM's? My JD 445, gas, works at top speed for the engine. Full throttle while towing or mowing. Thanks

Hello all - just wondering if I look for a snow thrower for my 1026R with quick hitch, is the thrower the same 1473M as used for past models? Is the "quick-hitch" the same also?

How is this possible on a JD 2305? My grandfather wants to leave the loader and mower on in the summer so he can mower or move dirt/mulch or whatever but the tractor only has 4 SCV's right under the operators platform. The loader and the mower both need the use of the yellow one. It'd be one...

Any ideas / experience with 2305 owners using a post hole digger? Which manufacturers sell PHD for sub-compact 2305 tractor size?

Does the seat switch on a 2305 fit firmly in the seat pan, or is there some movement? The old one was quite loose, and so is the new one the dealer installed.

I have a 2008 JD 2305 With loader. Awsome little tractor. Recently it has not wanted to stay running. It has done this several times and cleared itself up until now. It starts and then dies just as quick. I have changed filter, checked fuel flow, checked saftey switces that I can think of. I...

My 2305 with 104.5 hours on it won't stay running when I move the drive selector from Neutral or when I engage the PTO. It starts, idles and runs well through the rev range and I can operate the loader. I have tested the seat safety switch and it seems fine, and, just to be safe I jumped...

Hi Gang, I'm looking for a rear blade for my 2305 - mainly for snow removal and some landscaping work. I'm thinking a 6' blade is my best option? Also wondering if I should just go with the JD / Frontier blade, or if there is another iMatch compatible blade (no adapters or mods required)...

I have a new front quick hitch I was going to install on my 2305, and the instructions state I either need a Front Attaching Support Kit, or a Hood Guard Kit... So today I picked up a Hood Guard Kit, but there is no way that I can see where this will replace or do the work of the Front...

I recently bought a used 2305 TLB with 45 hours. I also bought a used 48" rotary cutter. Previous owner never had the backhoe off. I took it off last night, 2 minutes, what a breeze. Then the fun ended. I had to take off the rear tire to get the bar that holds the 3pt hitch arms installed...

Been a while since I was last here...I guess that is a good thing since I usually only have to visit when I have a problem....so.... Have a 2010 JD 2305 with the 62" belly mower. This is my second year with it...and it seems as if something has gone wrong over the course of the winter. When...

Looking for used backhoe, JD or woods to fit a 2305. Thanks

So yesterday while postholing some holes in my yard for a fence with my deere 2305 I hit some clay with the digger and had some problems. The digger started to screw it self into the ground as usual and as usual I gave it a little on the 3pt hitch to go down, then I locked the 3pt and waited for...

Well Guy痴 let me run something by you, the 1026R keeps getting slipped and now they say late September and not sure when the mower deck will be available which brings me to my question. My dealer has a used 2305, 79 hours, he said due to the long wait I have endured he will put a new 62C deck on...

i just bought a ramsplitter 16 ton 3 pt splitter,i have a JD 2305 tractor,right now i do not have the power beyond,can i run the splitter through the loader valve ports? will it cause any issues? anyone make there own power beyond for the 2305? thanks in advance,jason

can i run a 3 point log splitter through my loader ports? will it harm anything if i do so? anyone have a thread on making your own power beyond "kit" ?

I've gone into some older topics and read about some issues with the 2305 62in MMM. I have the 'independent' lift, I bought the tractor 'used' with about 100 hours on it, so I didn't have much of a choice on it. My question on it is sort of several parts. 1. Locked into the 'up' position, how...

I've been trying to find a filter guard/filter skid plate for my 2305. So far, little luck on Ebay (looking for over a month and PM'd a previous seller/manufacturer) and no real luck with google either. Does anyone on this forum make them/sell them? Or know where I can get them? About to get...

Hi, all i own a 2305 JD and am new to this site. just wondering if anyone has a 3 point log splitter that they run off the loader valve? pros/cons to not using power beyond? thanks

There have been several posts concerning the failed diode which causes the turn signal and hazard lights to quit working. Since it recently happened to me, I decided to post pictures which may help in replacing the failed diode. To access the diode, you need to remove screws and raise the...

My 2305 has developed a loud noise when I am running the 62" MMM. If the mower is on level ground, it runs well. If the ground is unlevel and the gauge wheel kick in, there is a loud noise coming from the left side. It sounds like a slip clutch on a combine to me. I wonder if there is something...

My 2305 just quit on me. It starts but will not stay running. When I turn the key the lights that usually come on durring the "Glow plug process" dont come on. I can get the motor to turn over and run but as soon as I let the key go it stops. The fuel level gage also drops once the key is released.

During fueling my tractor the plastic hose came off the can and fell into the fuel tank. I have tried several times to fish it out without success. Has anyone tried to remove the fuel tank from this model or have any other suggestions on how to get it out. I thought it might be easier to...

Wow, mowed about 1/2 acre and the front grill was totally packed. Do not think any air was flowing at all. :mad: Do not have any dashboard space for a water temp gauge, Did read here about a member who did a great custom gauge install, on a 2320 I think. I can see how if you were doing a larger...

Hi Guys, I have a small problem that maybe someone has solved with a mod on my 2305. I keep on hitting my hazard lights that are mounted on the side of my ROPS with branches, tree's and even our swing set chains. I am trying to find out if there is another option for them. I also have a Back...

I am trying to replace the fuel cell solenoid ,I cannot access the old wiring harness that goes back through the firewall and i presume to the switch it has what amounts to a 3 pt plug I have tried every thing but its such close quarters that if I get the old one unpluged Im afraid I would...

I traded in my 2210 last fall. I have a set of filters, and a nice homemade skid plate. $25.00 Pm me if interested.

I have a 2305 that just hit 100 hours. Bought used last year and dealer did complete service at 63 hours (all new filters, etc). Today when mowing my 2 acres, I noticed an oil leak on my NEW driveway. I took of the mower and noticed oil dripping off the hydro filter and square head bolt/plug...

Can anyone help with replacing fuel shutoff solenoid on JD 2305

Hi Have a JD2305 with a charging fault No ignition warning light - has AC coming from AC generator to regulator ,has battery supply and earth but nothinh on red/blue I do not have a wiring diagram and have not yet traced this Can anyone supply a diagram , or what should be on this wire? Cheers

Hello, recently finished making hydraulic lines for using the 13 ton Powerhorse 3pt log splitter. Viewed a lot of the information previously available on this forum and looks like several folks had some rough experiences with dealers and local hose shops. Since I have more time than money I...

I found the washer in the pictures on the pull behind hitch before I hooked up the tiller this afternoon, I found out where it came from when the upper right pin in the 3ph fell out when I was almost done tilling the garden. My question is could it be something that I am doing to chew that...

Have a 54" belly mower with a Independent Lift Cylinder. Went I lift the mower up to transport position it will drift down to the lowest set position in a short period of time. When I stop the machine and come back in about 15 minutes the deck is down. There are no leaks on the cylinder. Have...

Hi, I recently ordered and received an R&B Model 25 CDA dual axis inclinometer for my 2009 John Deere 2305 TLB. I live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada (CA), at the 2300' elevation, and the terrain up here is sloped to varying degrees in all directions. I'm looking at...

I've done some reading but wanted to get some opinions on rear wheel spacers for the 2305. I have some hills and can use all the stability I can get. Now, I don't even have the tractor yet so I don't know how stable it will be in the stock configuration. So, for those of you who have used your...

In my other post i was talking about picking up a 62D mower deck for my 2320. I found a guy selling a used bagging system off his 2305. LVB24897 Bagging system, the LVB24957 Chute, and the BM22697 (BM21495) Powerflow blower Im pretty sure the bagging system is the same for all the 2000...

Hello everyone, I just bought a 2305 TLB w/ 62" deck and ballast box. I did not order the independent lift, they wanted $800 installed! At any rate, I have found a new lift kit for $330 and I can install myself. Since I don't have the tractor yet, I can't study the 3 pt and mower lift. I don't...

One more thing regarding my 2305 TLB purchase, I was going to order with the 16" bucket and get an 8" later. They talked me into a 12". I will be doing a bunch of wet digging in a ravine so I thought the 16" would be less prone to clogging. I also need to dig up and re-locate some very small...

Well, I bought the 2305 TLB w/ 62" deck today. They said it would be a couple weeks to get the tractor/loader/mower ready but the BH may take 4 weeks or so. Everyone else around said about 10 days for the BH so I'm hoping for that. They are going to deliver no charge, I hope they will pick it up...

My mother has a 2305 and being the good son that I am I switch the blower over to the loader and mowing deck for her every year. What is the deal with the back presser on these hookups? These things are unbelievable. The manual says to move the control arm around to relieve the presser but that...

I wanted a front dethatcher for my 2305 so after looking around on TBN I put this together. I took a few ideas from several different styles. The nice part is that it comes off by just disconnecting the hydraulic lines and pulling out the one long 3/4" pin that goes through the frame. Nick

My warranty says Utility and subcompact Utility tractors have the powertrain covered for 3 years or 2000 hours.. This includes Powertrain: hydrostatic transmission, transmission case,differential and axle housing, clutch housings and all parts contained therein (does not include extarnal...

Hello, I am looking at a new 2305 with a 200CX loader, 260 backhoe and 54C deck. I know there are some "issues" with the new series. The dealer said they were supposed to be out in June, but maybe not until fall. Not completely sure of the issues, but a customer of mine is a R&D guy at Deere...

I've read a lot that putting the x series wheel spacers on the rears does a lot to help with stability. My questions: Would putting them on the front also help? Would using the Bro-Tek spacers (2" vs JD's 1") be a better idea or is that too much on the axle? Maybe 1" on the front and 2" on...

First off hello to all as this is my first post on the forums.. I have a 2009 JD 2305. I use it on 3 acres for tilling my garden and pulling a 4 foot finishing mower. I noticed a while back that when my tiller got a load on it my PTO shaft stops turning, no lag in the motor or anything...

If you go by the official numbers, the 2305 has a rear axle capacity of 1477 lbs. It may be the only SCUT in the world with a weaker rear axle than front axle. If you use the Deere ballast calculator, the rear axle is carrying 1739 lbs with a 200cx loader, operator, and 260 backhoe - a...

I have a JD 2305 and am getting ready to change oil and do yearly maint. I noticed in my owners manual that I need to drain water and sedimate from my fuel tank once a year. It doesn't tell me how to do this. Any advice out there ? It also says to service the water separator. How do you do this...

Have had my 2305 since 2005, i now have 612 hrs on her. I would like to say thanks to everyone that posts info on this forum! I find alot of useful info everytime i look. We like my 2305 so much that we got a second one last spring. Nancy has 90 hrs on that one now. I'm sure that there are more...

Howdy, newbie here. I have a 2006 2305 that will turn over just fine, but after starting for just a moment (1 to 2 seconds), turns immediately off. Further cranking is fruitless. I then turn the key off, try again, and the same thing happens. I replaced the battery to no avail. Thinking it may...

Hi This morning I went out to the shed and was surprised to see a small puddle of liquid underneath the front axiel of my Deere 2305. It appears to be Anti-freeze seeing as its green. I checked for loose hoses or clamps but can't seem to trace where this leak is coming from. Its right...

i have a new john deere 2305 with a 200cx loader and a 62inch belly mower . i am told i need to put weight on the rear end to work with the loader . i was thinking about a quick hitck and a weight box. any ideas on a good combo?

Does anyone have any first hand experience with TSC's CountyLine post hole digger on a JD 2305? I'm looking at the digger with 12" auger. TSC is local (20 miles) and carries the auger tips, edges, etc.

My 2305 just ticked past 50 on the meter this week. So I've read the manual, talked to the guys at the dealer and read every thread on the subject I could find using the search function. And now I'm more confused than ever. Manual says change oil and trans fluid at 50. One guy at the dealer...

Kept hearing a tinny sound ,vibration, this summer then and I had noticed fan seemed loose. Tightened fan none of the bolts were loose, but moved left to right 1/2-1" either direction. Over a week ago blowing snow and vibration sound kept getting louder. Next evening went under tractor and...

Greetings all... A question you. I'm here in CT - Wicked cold, lots of snow lately ( for us at least ) so I'm moving lots of it... Here goes... 2305 with FEL... Lately I've fired her up, starts no problem. A couple of minutes of warm up and off we go. Within a few minutes, RPMs drop...

I want to use my loader w/out taking all the snowblower drive train off, I disconnected the snow blower just behind the raise/lower cylinder leaving the bracket for the mid mount drive train in place. Tried to put on loader and one side would not lock. Think the loader stand is hitting the...

I'm in the process of putting a 47" snowblower from a 420 onto my 2305. I'm making the front adapter and want to make sure that the pto shafts line up correctly. I've ordered my pto shaft but it wont get in for another week and half. Can anyone tell me how far the front pto shaft sticks out...

I seen a post on part jd numbers and you find the wheel sepcs verses part numbers.but now i cant find it.any help would be good.

I got a used 47" sb off craigslist and was told it would connect to a 400 and 425. The dealer says a sb that connects to a 425 will also connect to a 2305, but I'm having trouble finding an adapter. I've attached two pictures of the sb and the mounting kit that came with it (had to remove it to...

Want to say hi from a new member. And ask a few questions. I have been reading as many posts as I can about the John Deere 2305, and I've got the sore eyes to prove it! :D I've got just under 2 acres to clear and mow (cut down most of the trees last summer), and a lot of rocks to remove that...

Would the 2305 trans fan be a warranty part? It doesnt seem like it would be.. just a thought.

Well I had a blast yesterday using my brand new JD 2305 with the shaft driven JD47" snowblower. We live in Yarmouth, Maine and we had about 16" of snow to clear. My driveway is about 400 yards long. The ONE BUMMER with the whole setup is I was kind of "underwhelmed" at how far it was able to...

I have the opportunity to pickup a 6' RB for my 2305 at a good price. I like the heft of the blade and the fact that it has a pin for angle and another for tilt (especially being able to leave out the tilt pin and "float" it). I also like the idea of the upward compatibility in terms of still...

will a 2210 sno plow QH setup up bolt up to a 2305? are the front of both frames similar in this respect? have lead on a complete plow pkg.from a 2210,wondering if Im right about interchange on 2210/2305 for this.

The specs say it can lift 1,100 lbs(approximate) at the lift arms and 650lbs (approximate) 24" from the lift arms. How much are you guys lifting out there? I've got a chipper that weighs over 400, a brush hog that has to weigh close to that, and a PHD that is also heavy but sticks out way behind...

Hi Guys, I am looking at buying a 2006 John Deere 2305 with 62" deck and rear mount 48" snowblower. I primarly want it for the 4X4 and would be using it for grass cutting and blowing snow. I would like to stay at the 2305 size for manurablity cutting grass and a couple of small laneways I blow...

I posted a few weeks ago wondering if anyone had suggestions on installing a Berco soft cab on a 2305, primarily because the directions assume metal footrests and a slightly smaller frame than the 2305. The Berco unit is a "universal" type so was fairly adaptable and I am including some photos...

I didnt notice this before but when I put back on the loader for winter it worked good for a while then started to lower "hard". The engine seems to bog down a little when lowering the loader. It does not go down as fast as I remember either. I unhooked the lines and let the pressure out and...

I want to add a fan in my cab,and a set of lights on the roof of my 2305.If I run separate wires with inline fuses is it ok to run them straight to the battery.

I went ahead and got the soft-sided Berco cab, 40 inch for my 2305. Followed directions for rear supports on tow hitch and am puzzling about front support attachments. The kit is meant for attaching the front supports to metal footrests, but they are plastic/composite on the 2305, so my best...

I have a 2305 john deere and I would like to find extra set of rims front and rear fronts are 18x8.5-10 rear 26x12-12 any body have a clue.

anyone have a cab? I live south of Buffalo NY and get a lot of snow. My driveway is 205' and my front yard is at the end of a driving range (live on a gulf course) so I get a lot of drifting. Curtis cabs seem very nice but very pricey. I have seen a soft cab that I am unsure of the name of for...

My apologies if I offended anyone as it was not my intention or desire. A large purchase of any machinery with 5 figures is a huge undertaking for me and I was not intentially slighting anyone nor was the posting ment to be as such.

This was going fairly smooth until I hit the suction screen part. Before I get into that, I'll add this tip. Before removing the trans filter and suction screen cover, I'd recommend blasting those areas with a hose (tractor should be cooled off) to remove the accumulation of dirt, grass...

Does anyone have a good idea what I can expect to pay for a used 54" blade w/hydraulic angle and mounts?? Looks to be in good condition. Thx.

Hi, A friend of mine has a new JD 2305 and his salesman did a poor job of explaining how to read/use his loader level indicator. I'm not familiar with how it looks or works either. If someone would post some brief instructions with pics that would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Matt.

Just beginning my search for a SCUT and have pretty much narrowed it down. For Deere, it's obviously the 2305 as I need the smallest tractor that will take a backhoe for the places I need it to work for me. My question is, is it best to buy a 2305 now or wait until the new series of tractors...

will my 2305 run a buhler 50" snowblower ok ?

Hey all, in the last two years, my PTO selector shaft has been a point of contention with my 2305. In anything but the rear-most position (rear PTO only), the dang thing grabs my clothing and/or gouges my leg as I dismount the tractor. I finally had had enough after doing bag after bag of...

Any more info on the new replacement for the 2305 out?

I know this question has arisen many times before, but in my search for a 4000 series unit, I have been searching for a riding mower as well. Now, I would like to hear from people on the famous question, is it better to buy a 2305 for mowing, then to buy a X700 series. I can get a brand new...

Is there a reason to NOT use the 4wd on a JD 2305 all the time? Or is it worse to keep switching from 2wd to 4wd when I need to, the switch back to 2wd when I get better traction. We just got a 2305 and are using it to bush hog a large area of overgrown brush and tiny trees. The land is...

Neighbor has a 4 yr old 2305 and it won't start. He said he backed it into his garage, pulled the throttle back to idle it for a minute and it died and would not refire. He changed the fuel filter, which was kind of nasty, but it still won't start; turns over fine, but no fire and or no smoke...

I am considering upgrading to a 2720 from my 2210. One of the reasons is that I want more pto power and I don't want to bust the pto like many have on their 2210,2305 tractors. Outwardly the tranny/pto design of the 2520,2720 tractors doesn't look much different than their little brother. Does...

Bottom Line Up Front: Does anyone know the specs on the bolt pattern/measurement for 2305 wheels? Background: I am looking into getting some spacers for my front wheels. They hit the lever for the MMM when I turn the wheel fully. I have placed the left tire on the right side and the right...

Just purchased a 2305 and received it today. love it! new to the diesel and 3 pt hitch world. was wondering, my ballast is brand new and currently empty, can i leave it suspended in the air or do i have to lower it to the ground (to prevent damage to the 3pt)? when i was looking at machines...

I have continued this posting from a previous one that was getting quite lengthy, the purpose of this thread is to share and gather information on a John Deere 2305 rear PTO failure and transmission housing repair and to seek knowledge and support on a class action suit against John Deere and...

background: while filling the tank the bendable diesel can spout came dislodged and took a dip into the tank *poof*. should've left well enough alone as the tank/gauge/tractor ran fine after the mishap. went fishing for the spout one evening w/ a make-shift hook made from a wire clothes hanger...
