2320 with Loader and Quick Hitch

[gtosvx]

I leave the adapter and drive shaft in place, only removing the hydraulic lift/tilt unit, and have no problem with the loader going on and off. It did take a minor adjustment on the kickstand bar, but this has not impaired any function.

IDK, I stole the pic from somebody here. I belive it has something to do with a snow plow.

I could possibly do a re-research and find the thread. ?

It's part on a plow frame-A Meyers plow adapted to the JD QH. here is one I did: Meyer's plow on a JD 2320 - TractorByNet.com

Well, welcome to TBN

You gonna share this little "adjustment" with us?:confused2: Pics would be nice

Will take a few pics later this week in the daylight, but basically it is not a mod to the kickstand, just bent it slightly.

Pics would be great!! Was that "thoughtfully bent" as in I planned to do that to make it work or opps I didn't realize you couldn't have both on but it worked out anyhow kind of bent? :laughing:

Rocket, your analysis of my methods is right on target. But it still works

Well, loader AND quick hitch or not we finally got enough snow here to get out and have some fun!! We got about 2 inches here which is enough to want to clear off my driveway as it's pretty steep. Was so easy to just grab the blade with the quick hitch and off I went!! What a difference compared to my old JD 216 garden tractor with with chains and a blade. Instead of having to throw all speed and momentum at the snow along with a strong arm lifting the blade (even with the helper spring) I had a real treat.

I could angle the blade, raise and lower, work in low range, not that high RPMs and work in 2 wheel drive. What a pleasure to be able to work delicately and deliberately instead of having to just ram to get the snow where I want before the traction runs out.

Now if it would just snow deep enough to give the blower a try!!!!

gtosvx, that's got to be the longest week ever!
Do you have pictures? I just bought my quick hitch today and i'm trying to figure things out!
thanks

Sorry for the no pics,
I actually took them, but then my daughter took my camera.
I will take some new ones and post

No problem. I got mine up and running now. I also took pictures but lost them. I can not get more pictures because I lent out my tractor to my uncle for temporary farm use.
