New toy on the way!

megaboz · May 4, 2011

I decided it was time to trade in my Kubota and go green!:laughing:

I really wished it was here already, but I have to wait about a week I guess for the 2520 with the FEL, BH and the 62D belly mower.

Man it will be nice to have steering brakes and have a brake pedal that is on the left side.

Good for you, is the 2520 model the one with the aluminum rear gear housing? http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...-snapped-axle.html?highlight=JD+2520+problems

Congrats on the new Tractor!! I have been waiting 2-3 weeks for mine. They said the FEL should be here this week and they will deliver it on Saturday but I am having my doubts... The mower deck and IMatch are in but they have not done anything to the tractor as in fill the tires, add chains, reverse the rear tires.... I am being hopeful though!!! I can't wait to get it!!!!! They want to deliver it all at once.....

megaboz congrats on you new tractor :thumbsup:. Sure does seem like a lot of new 2520s on here. I wonder if the pace will pick up as we approach the end of May deadline for the $2,500 incentive?

Wouldn't it be fun if TBN logged statistics. You could look at charts and such showing what brand of tractor, it's size or model number and it's "price sold for."

That JD2520 is on fire right now.!!

I was thinking about it today, and it dawn on me, I own my BX24 for almost 4 years, they gave me $3000 less than what I paid for it new for trade. Comes out to be about $750 a year is what I paid to own the Kubota!

My dealership is offering 0% for 60 months, and in the end I will have paid less for the John Deere alone than what it would have John Deere and Kubota combine, about $16K is what I am out for both tractors.:thumbsup: So when you put it together, I would have been an idiot not to buy the 2520 especially with the $2500 rebate.

I like 0%, but they keep suckering me in! I think the only thing besides my house I ever paid interest on was one car, and it was 1.9%

I went from Orange to Green last year. Both are good brands, but I do prefer the JD better. I love my 3120 !
