Much effort required to take the side grills and the front grill off? How are they attached? Wrenches required for removal?

 

[Dutch445]

no tools as usual,
it's a single piece,, wraps around the front,,
and just slides onto pins etc...
sort of flimsy though,,

Thanks Dutch! Looks good! I am GLAD to see Deere offering another fine Yanmar machine! (with JD engineering in it, too....)

Special thanks to Dutch and Mike Mc for all the great info…

Can’t wait to see one up close and personal. Maybe even, take a ride…

I went to order my 2305 today and learned this.... The independent lift for the MMM is now available, but the cruise control, which is an option, won't be ready until the fall. I was told that the CC could be added later for about $200. My final price for the 2305 tractor w/turf tires, 200cx FEL, 62c MMM w/independent lift, ballast box and hood guard was $14,300 (no CC). This dealer was in PA and promised delivery before Sept.

This is my first tractor....how does this sound to you pros???

Thanks!

I went to my dealer today to sign paperwork for my 3720 and he had two 2305 on the show room floor. he recieved them last week.

I'll bet a nickel it is less than $75

2305 is on the Deere website. Also says that the 2210 is still available? Must be dealer stocks? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Looking at the attachments, there is no front blade for the 2305 listed -- hope that's just an omission! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Just looked at the configurator and the blade is listed there -- phew!

Mike,

I begin to wonder how much JD Engineering is in this new machine. No doubt in my mind Yanmar makes some of the best tractors in the World. But a little voice in the back of my mind (my experience too) says they spec'ed a machine around Yanmars solution. Other than Color and US safety requirements, I wonder how much is original JD work?

 

[JD2210MAN]

Just brought to my attention.... It is actually on the Deere website. I can't believe that it was finally updated. What took them so long? Not like it was any secret but I guess as another said, they needed to push the 2210's off the lot first.

I can not wait to find out if that Cruse Controll fits right onto my 2210!!!!!! I will be smiling then. If I had it now I would not need a seat suspension. My foot is so heavy, I have no control over it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[rockyridgefarm]

The website says it... The 2210 is STILL available, but just TRY and build one on the configurator....

Whether JD or Yanmar leads the engineering, you are getting a fine machine... But I have heard too many inside folks insist they 'never' just put their name on a product to feel that it is a green Yanmar.

While 'wondering', take some time to visit the Augusta plant, and hopefully get an opportunity to talk with the engineers there who have, for a good 10 years, been designing the 4000 series, then the 4x10 series, and now the 2000, 3x20 and 4x20 series. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Probably, what worked back when the tractors were mostly Yanmar still resides in todays design. But then, not much different 'design' from the old 2N Fords in the modern array of CUTs that we see with the many different brand names.

But, not much Yanmar in these other than the power plant. And it's a darn good one.

Hey, beenthere, isn't the 2305 built entirely by Yanamar, like the 2210?

You know, this is pretty amazing, I just checked and at that time there were 20,575 views on this post! JD has got to be loving it! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

 

[rockyridgefarm]

No fair Dutch!! Club4310 is way cooler!

 

[Dutch445]

I won't argue with you,
although this one will double the hits soon........
now, if only we had as many sales as hits..................

Do you think Deere even has any idea of all us hay seeds here on the board?
I doubt it. And if so, probably no more than just mere passing fancy by a few employees. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
