john deere 2720

The gear case support (LVU803869, #4 in the image) on my John Deere 2720 broke (in the woods, down the hill; of course not in the driveway) and I have the "joy" of replacing it. It looks pretty straight forward, but there's always the possibility of a surprise. If you've made the same repair...

Looks like the injector pump is on its way out on my JD 2720 (had a mechanic check everything else it could possibly be) - I know this tractor has a 3TNV88 Yanmar engine in it - question being, will any injector pump for that motor cross with the Deere MIA881871? The part number on mine is...

My 2720 has 700 hours on it. For the past few months—light use— I’ve noticed the hydro drive is louder, the steering “chatters” after warming up. Machine has had regular service to include hydro filter and screen cleaning/ change. Use Lo Vis HyGard. Before I get into charge pump issues, does...

Hi. I have an interesting one which I am suspecting with get one of two responses: Crickets You should talk to the guy who changed the charge pump Here is why I am here typing to you today. I replaced the charge pump in my JD 2720 as I was experiencing some steering related issues and the...

Hello. I am trying to figure out what happened to my little John Deere 2720. I had the charge pump recently replaced, however, the steering is very spongy and difficult to turn. Oddly enough, when I engage the PTO, the steering seems to improve. I also notice the hydrostatic drive seems very...

Hello once again friends. Okay I am faced with another issue with my JD 2720 and I am looking for some advice.....and no, not the advice which suggests a different colour tractor, etc. This past winter during an extreme cold snap (-42C) my son wanted to be helpful and clear some snow. He...

Hi everyone, Before I go and pull the head off of this thing I wanted to see if there were any other ideas. My 2720 is absolutely belching out smoke at cold start and kinda rumbles a bit, almost like it's not running on all cyls - it smells like unburnt diesel. It does clear up once up to...

So, I have it all plumbed and had a leak show up after I was using it for awhile. Seems to be coming from the factory installed pressure relief valve. My question is when I take it apart the put some sealer on it ,will it come out clean or are there springs behind it? I only know enough about...

Good Day all. I have a John Deere 2720 compact tractor which I just repaired by installing a new hydraulic pump. Everything seemed fine, but for some reason the shaft seal keeps blowing and leaking hydraulic oil into the engine. Any suggestions or recommendations as to what would cause...

Hello all, I am looking for a rebuild kit for the Kanzaki PW1-D-8A hydraulic pump off my John Deere 2720 utility tractor. Interanal rubber gasket/seal (?) is broken and I can not justify spending $700 CAD on a pump when the aforementioned seal is the issue. Anyone here know where I can...

hi All, The challenge I have is that the box blade at max height only goes up to 11" of the floor. When I go up a slope, it digs in to the point where I can easily get the tractor stuck if not careful. The standard length of the leveling arms is 18" pin to pin fully shortened or closed on my...

Hello all. First, my apologies if I am posting this in the incorrect location. I have a John Deere 2720 with 419 hours. Approximately 3 months ago i noticed the hydraulics (loader, snow blower) and 3-point hitch were moving much slower than usual so I did what every other newbie would do...

Hi All, Still going the through the paces with my JD2720 and was able to get a good price to get the rear wheel filled with rimgard. The challenge is that the valve stems are in the inside. If i take the tires off, then I cant put them back on with the additional weight. Can i reverse the tires...

I have a 2520 and a 2720 and they seem to have different front brackets that bolt onto the tractor frame to mount the 62D MMM. I'm assuming the brackets are different because one tractor has a FEL and grill guard installed and one tractor does not have a FEL or grill guard. I'm wondering if...

Can anyone verify what the correct Idle speed is for a John Deere 2720? I just bought a 2008 2720 and it idles at like 1,400rpm and that seems really hi compared to my 2520 that idles near 1,000 rpm. Thanks in advance!

I'm wondering what year JD 2720's have emissions equipment and what tiers and years it came into place. I have a 2520 that I am looking to trade for a 2720 to get the few more ponies, as my 2520 has nearly enuf power, but it grunts hard with the big mower and tillers. I'm not looking for...

It's been awhile since I've looked at new tractors. I just realized that JD isn't building the 2720 any longer? What's up with that? I'm just wondering if anyone knows why the models changed and why they did away with it. I'm guessing it has something to do with new diesel engine emission...

Hi, Would anyone be aware of a repair kit for a front hitch? There are some on ebay but for the garden tractors. They claim to "repair worn center pivot bushing and elongated holes in the front half of your John Deere quick hitch. The kit is designed/engineered to take out the front-to-back...

I have a JD 2720 thats about 5 years old. The steering has WAY TOO MUCH play to the point of it no longer being safe to move any faster than a crawl. You can turn the steering wheel a full 90 degrees without the tires turning. Hydro oil is pretty fresh and no obstruction in the filter screen...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I posted this in the general section...then noticed this specific John Deere section, so thought I'd post it here also. Anyway, I'm not sure what it's actually called....but on a JD 2720 and probably other similar models as well, there is an "adjustment knob" down...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and have several questions that hopefully someone will have the answers to. Not sure what it's called....but on a JD 2720 and maybe other similar models as well, there is an adjustment knob directly in the middle between your legs on the floor. I know its some sort...

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...

Hello Guys, I'm new member and hopefully a new owner of a 2720. But I have to check first before I sign on the dotted line. This will be a useful addition to our land and chores. Mainly the tractor will be used for mowing (hogging) and tilling. But loading will be in there as well. Could I get...

Great forum you have here. :thumbsup: I have been lurking for a while making my mind up as to what compact tractor to purchase. I have a heavily wooded property and with a long gravel driveway and found myself needing something to help me with the regular maintence. Planning to brush hog/...

I recently purchased a slightly used JD 2720 and need to buy a Bush Hog. I will be using for mainly keeping the woods controlled along the paths and driveway, versus using it for tall grass or weeds. Mostly very small saplings and vines, brush etc.... I'm thinking a 5 foot Frontier might...

I have a 2011 2720 JD with a 54 Snow Blower. This weekend Connecticut received a big snow storm. I always check fluids very closely before heading out into such a large storm. Some of the snow drifts I had to move were over 7 feet tall. JD really should increase the height of this front mounted...

I just bought a 2720 with a 200cx loader and a 46 backhoe attachment. The tractor has one leak around the rear end and the backhoe has several leaks. Does anyone have a pdf service manual that you would share?

I have a JD 2720 and was considering picking up the quick attach front blade. I was thinking about it and I am concerned that the blade that is supposed to go on this tractor is only 54" wide. My thinking is that if I am using it to push material and have the blade tilted I will actually be...

Well Gents the Dirt_Works are going green. Just sold my last Kubota and ordered a new 2720 with all the trimmings! I believe that John Deere has the perfect package in this machine, weight, functionality, performance, and value. The last trait has kept me in the orange for many years because JD...

My SIL has just bought a new 2720 with a 200cx loader, and a front mounted snow blower. Nice rig for him. I have been promoting that he purchase a flail mower for his use in maintaining about 7 acres of wildlife area surrounding his home....which is a mix of clover and mixed grasslands...

I installed the Power Beyond (LVB25603) and 3rd SCV (LVB25927) kits on my 2720. I didn't order the rear female couplers with the 3rd SCV. Has anyone installed the JD rear couplers? After researching the parts, I was only able to come up with a drawing for the 61H1068 adapter fitting. I am...

Looking to upgrade my 2305 to either 2520 or 2720. Looking at the 2520 and 2720 and it seems the only real difference is engine hp and torque. Is it worth the extra $ they charge for the 2720?? PS. The rear PTO, in my case, would be used primarily for for brush hogging, and rototilling.

Hi All, I am looking at theses two tractors and leaning towards the Kubota over the JD, the B3300 is about 3k less for the a little more hp with the same options, anyone care to chime in? Walter

Just thought some of you might like to see a 2720 with a Jodale Perry cab. There are very few pics out there of a 2720 with it. I am not a mechanic.. but know my way a bit with tools. I installed the cab with the help of a buddy in about 6 hours. That does not include plumbing for heat and...

Is it possible to disassemble and clean the fuel filter on a Deere 2720, or is replacement the only option?

Hello everyone, We recently acquired 12 acres of land in Northern Virginia, complete with bumps, holes, some forest and a creek. We figured that would not be complete without some serious tools to take care of it (we cleared about three acres with just a trimmer and chainsaw for the past 6...

Hi all; I am going to post this in both forums to get plenty of answers. I am narrowed to 2720 or 2360. If the deere had three speed hydro I would buy it. If the Kubota had a suspended mower I would buy that. I have had small deeres and kubotas and love both brands. No heartburn over...

I searched for an answer but maybe no one has had this problem yet (yeah right). My JD 2720 with fold-up ROPS won't extend up after folding properly. I can get one pin in and the other won't line up. No I haven't hit anything (yet) with the ROPS or turned the tractor over. They were very...

Hi Everyone, When I re-attach my bucket I'm able to get it in place so I can lock it. But the parking bar on the bucket I can't figure out how to get it raised high enough so that the inside of my front tires are not hitting the parking bar if I turn the wheels.

Any one have any advice on Stow 'n' Go with the 62 in mower deck. Not certain how I need the mower setup to do this.. I see how it is done on the John Deere video postings on their website but can't get a good view how the pins are set up..

My wife and I are talking about getting a JD cab for our 2720. We just wanted to hear different opinons on getting a cab on the tractor. There is not a lot of snow here but we always have something to do in the winter with the tractor. Thanks for any help.

OK, I'll stick my neck out here. I live in SW Wisconsin and I just bought a John Deere 2720. I paid $15,330 for the tractor, $2,750 for the loader, and $2495 for the 62 mid-mount mower. Total before tax, $20,575. With the WI tax the total sale came to $21,706. I did get the 0% for 48...

My wife and I are going to buy a compact tractor and have decided on a John Deere. I have researched a lot about the 2720 and I am just wondering if it will be a short lived model? I also see that some people are concerned about th2 speed range. We will use it mostly for mowing around fence...

My dad just picked up a new 2720, which we love:D. We now want to add power beyond so we can run a couple rear hyrdraulics. Since I'm into motorsport fabrication I'll be doing all the modification I have two questions. First does anyone know the thread pitch for the Allen key that threads into...

Considering a JD 2720 but holding up a bit till some of the feedback is in. Well, any user feedback positive/negative so far? Do most of the purchases go with the Mid mower or just go with another mower (lawn tractor or z track)? Thanks for the input.:rolleyes:

Hi everyone, After 3 months of reading TBN, planning and learning, I finally bought a JD2720 with fel-53" bucket, 46 backhoe and 54"front blade. I'm waiting on the hoe, so my tractor sits 28 miles away in the dealers lot. Dealer says at the latest mid July.:eek: Is it mid July yet? Time is...

Hey anybody bought the 2720 yet? Anybody heard if there will eventually be a cab on this series of tractor - Kubota has the B2630 or B3030, one has the cab, and it is same size as my 2520. 31hp would be nice, any other notable differences? I want a 2720 with a cab!

You can now order a 2720 and they should be hitting dealers by the last week of may.

Any new news on the JD 2720 specs or timeline to availability? I have been strongly considering the 2520 but decided to wait for more info on the 2720. I don't like all the noise about 3 pt /tire rub with or without chains, a few extra HP would not be a problem either. Thanks
