New 2305 questions

[98ramtough]

I pick up my new to me 2305 tomorrow morning with 200CX loader and frontier 48" box scraper with the quick hitch stuff. Question is, I am buying a used 54" mmm for this also and want to make sure I get everything it needs for the mower. Is there any special brackets that mount to the frame for the deck to fit up or is it just the deck/driveline? Thanks for your help! I'm pretty excited to get this new green machine!

You have a front mounting bracket that fits on the front center of the deck and attaches to the frame in the front.
Then there are 2 more side arm brackets that controls the up and down
of the deck. Watch the operational video of the 2000 series. I think that
they show the drive over deck being attached but it is same location.

There's nothing special that needs to be mounted on the tractor or deck to connect them - so long as the deck model is meant for the 2305. As BIGWES said, it's all there on the equipment now. You will need to make sure the left lift arm (while looking at it) on the 3pth is spread open and capturing the 'folded' bracket while moving up. That is the lift mechanism for the deck. It might be worth letting a dealer do the initial deck setup to make sure everything is level and working properly...

I would agree with VABlue on dealer setup of the deck. There is a push arm that lifts the deck and it catches the left 3 point lift arm, if not adjusted properly the push arm will get bent. You will also need a spreader bar inserted in the lift arms in order for the deck lift to work unless you get an Imatch hitch.
