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

I was wondering the same thing. Also looking at, amongsts other things, the 2520 and thought the 2720 might be worth waiting for. Has anyone heard anything?

You might wait and get a 2520 cheaper due to the dealers wanting to keep the newest stuff on their lots.

Any other design improvements known at this time? I wonder if they fixed the 3 pt rub issue. A new seat design sounds good, maybe something along the lines of the suspension seat on the 3000 line.

Any feedback on if the extra HP and extra PTO HP will solve the mowing in low range limitation? Reports were that mowing in high range did not work out.

Thanks
