New 2520 finally here!

/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif My JD dealer dropped her off last evening! It took 2 weeks for the 2520 w/200cx to make it to my dealer, but the 46 backhoe took an inexplicable 5 weeks. Just glad to finally have my new tool...toy...home! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Looks good. My wife came in when I pulled up the pic and said I could not get the backhoe. Tell me about your tooth bar, she did not make any comments on it. JC /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Looks Great!! Don't forget to provide updates... Mind if I ask what it set you back as pictured?

I grabbed the toothbar as an after-thought due to the advice given here, and it works very well. This is the JD toothbar for the 61" bucket, and was $300 installed. I have seen other quality toothbars discussed, markham et al., but choose the JD for convienence.
The full set-up is the 2520 with the 200cx loader and 61" bucket w/JD toothbar, 46 backhoe w/13" bucket, 54" blade w/ full hydraulics, i-match w/ballast box, front weight ext. kit, HD alternator, coolant heater, and tech manual. It was $25,500 delivered.
I posted a couple of 2520 photos in the JD gallery.
Thanks again to all that offered advice, it has all paid off to my benefit! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I had talked to my dealer about a tooth bar, and he said it was only available for the 61" bucket. I got the 54" JC

They will custom make a tooth bar for any bucket.
