I'm not working the 2305 hard enough. I only have 16 hours on the beast.

Just updating the hours on the 2305. Just turned 150 hours in early October. No major concerns or complaints, happy that I have the FEL for sure. Have been getting the blades sharpened more often, and that really seems to help. I like the standard blades better than the Gators, but they'll do. Fitz

152 hours today. I like everything except the toothbar and the dreaded ROPS.

You know it's funny that you curse your toothbar. Besides your comment, everyone else seems to swear by their toothbar. I've got one too, and I also don't find much use in it. With all the excavating, digging, grading and material maneuvering I've been doing, I've found all the jobs easier without the toothbar installed. I find it's a pain for diggiing especially....It seems to make a bit of a mess, doesn't pull up the material that way I'd like, and honestly, I find with a bit of wiggle and careful pressure, I can go a better job without it! I'd say it's almost like the teeth are too big for the bucket or the capability of the 200CX loader.
I'm slated to dig a pond next summer (4ft deep, 16 ft wide and 45 feet long), so I'll see if it comes in handy for that task.
What is your issue with the toothbar?
