FINALLY she's here after a 6 week wait. The 2720 and z655. I got a package deal on both. Of course I had to test both right away... Yesterday may not have been the most ideal mowing day in northwest OH, I know... I also took care of some potholes in the gravel drive. Now for some snow....

The 2720 came with a 200cx FEL, frontier 2072 RB with skid shoes, ballast box. We added the rear work light.

The Z655 has the 54" deck and we added the foot rests, hitch and lights.

I will get some better photos when the monsoon season lifts....

Yea they work well and are not obstructed when I am on the mower. With my work schedule I will need them. Then again it won't take me 4 hours to mow any more.

Nice setup, with this pair of machines you should be well covered for lawn and driveway maintenance.

:thumbsup: New tractor club! Now you just need to do what I did and remove that ROPS with a cutting torch... :laughing:

Nice! Good to see a 2720 in here, seems like a lot of 2520's talked about but not as many of the more powerful brother! I am sure that you will enjoy these sweet machines. Happy Holidays:thumbsup:

I really will get some better pics today I promise! Yea if you like photos of clouds... We have that market cornered! I am amazed at the quality of the new smartphone photos.

Ok question- the right draft link rubs the tire when backing. I have the RB on there. I will be doing snow pushing with it in reverse. How do I correct that?

First off...Congratulations on the sweet set of toys.

Regarding your draft link hitting, you should ensure your turnbuckles are tight. I know on our 2520, I have also switched my tires in the rear to give myself another inch of clearance.

I hope this helps.

Congrats on your your new machines!!:thumbsup:

As lost stated,make sure your turnbuckles are tight.
I would assume that your 2720 has the newer style lower arms.

I appreciate it guys. I wasn't sure if it was that simple. I'm learning. Yes I do have those style arms.

Here's some more photos:

Great machine! Good luck with it. I have a 2520 (w/200cx, BH46) with 18 hours that I bought new this summer. I love it more than I'll admit, but part of me feels like I wish I had the 2720. I run the tires in the "out" position. Have you tried the TSC plow, yet? I like your ZTR, too. Got a SCAG Tiger Cub, myself. I can't easily run a mower deck w/the BH46, so my ZTR got to stay

You got an excellent combo of machines!

I think you will be much happier with the pair then the do-it-all you were thinking of getting:thumbsup:

I have not tried the middle buster plow yet. I did tighten the links and eliminated the rubbing I mentioned earlier. I also managed to make some nice ruts in the grass. WAY too wet here. I knew better but I had to try it :)

Well some day it will be winter here and I can test the snow moving capabilities. Or heck maybe our next drought will hit and I can get after the shooting backstop I need to fix up. Oh well we are prepared no matter what!
