That fixed the problem.
Thanks for making that fix.

Hench,
Make sure to check to tractor point classifieds - there are ususally reasonable choices, and think it through on obtaining a newer machine and a loader - which is the most useful implement beyond a mow deck. I do personally have a Kubota BX2200 (22HP) for sale, listed with the classifieds here (FS: BX2200 w FEL and MMM) and on Austin Craig's List. Good Luck, Scott.

Thanks Kirby for the detail on the BH and the price, also clearifying the specifics on the 2520 vrs 2320. Sounds like you (almost) have a nice setup (like me, almost, someday).
My JD dealer did tell me that JD essentially introduced the 2520 in response to a Kubota model - mybe the B2630.....
Anyway, I used to own an old BH on a Ford tractor and had much fun with it......have fun

I signed papers on a 2520+200CX+62D at slightly less than 18700. that includes a T-shirt for my wife and a ball cap.
I think my dealer is doing me ok on this. Scott.

brokenarrow,
>Too funny! I done .....it will do nothing but save you money (at the least) since information is worth more than money anyways!
Welcome
+1. and thanks.

kwschumm,
>.......get MSRP and figure a minimum 10% off for a reasonable deal.
thanks.

I have indeed decided now to go with the 2520. One thing I am running into is that it is difficult to actually see one, and even more difficult to see the 62D MMM (drive-over). I have one on order now from a Houston dealer (who had a 2520 but no 62D). Looks like sometime in September before it is all there - apparently Deere is having trouble delivering 62D's to the dealers.
Scott.

To respond to *some* of my own questions:

>My current tractor .......Would the 2520 act the same without this kit?
According to the JD dealer I am dealing with, yes.

>......does this kit give the mid deck a completely seperate hydraulic control from the 3ph?
According to the JD dealer I am dealing with, yes - however I am told "you can not use the joy stick to control the loader while using this kit.

>And, where does that valve mount up?
My discussions lead me to believe there is no other valve and the joy stick is used.

>Also, there is some other option for a mechanical lift for the mower..........
This is not applicable to the 2520 - the Web builder does indeed say that. The Web builder also says there will be a mid-mower latch-up kit for the 2520 in the fall of 2006.

This does not make this kit for the 2520 very attractive, IMHO. It would be nice if more detailed information is publicly available from Deere.

Swany13,
> I recently purchased .........On the 2305 they added a valve.......
This sounds like a completely different situation from the 2520 since you say they added a valve.

OK, everyone, thanks for the cautions. Some of this sounds like what happens on Craig's List also. So, to conclude, I am off to actually see a 2520 someplace, as this is the one now very interesting to me. And, look for a note in the Kubota forum about my BX2200 going up for sale (it really is agreat machine, just wanting a machine a bit bigger and want to try a JD.....) Scott

Yes. Hill Country immature Limestone for the most part. The bit is for rock, as sold typically around this area, vs a soft dirt bit. Tractor has the horses - sometmes however without hydralic down pressure is has minimal effect - but sometimes she breaks through......not big roots. Also using turf tires. S.

One more thought on this - I am wondering if I can get the el cheapo TSC PHD and then shorten the augers by cutting the tops off with an Oxy tourch. Then drill/cut new sheere pin holes. Hmmmmm. I will be gong to look at this. I really like the cheap price for what I am doing.....Scott

I believe you about FF. The browser market is somewhat of a mess in my opinion. I changed the IE options to not use Sun's Java SDK on my machine but it still hangs. Anyway, this not a tech forum, so, I am able to get to the Kubota main site by skipping the intro picture page and going directly to http://www.kubota.com/f/home/home.cfm
Thanks, Scott

Does anyone have experience with Mower Deck Axle Co, upright mower storage stands advertised on the Tractor Point pages? I have a BX2200 with RCK60B-22BX deck and considering purchase of this product. Also, are the upgraded scalp wheels they have worth it?<br>

An approach I use is to mount a heavy weight on an inexpensive 3pt bar. I have a very heavy cast front tractor weight from an old Ford 1710 I used to own. I bolted it to a cheap straight bar with 3pt pins on each end (you can find these bars at any tractor supply). It works well and still fits in my garage.

If the "quarter inching valve" is the valve holding the 3pt in place when running, then "always bleeds" makes no sense to me. It seems there is a problem with a tractor that does not hold the 3pt in place *when running* - if that is what you are saying.

Well, I said I would post back on how this went. Yep, I now have an LA211 on my BX2200. I think the quick hook lines could be a bit longer, but like it alot. I think my dealer here in Austin TX did me ok at $2300+taxes for the LA211 installed. +1 to Lanford Eqipment (actially the Marble Falls Lanford dealer did the work) - thanks Tyler.

My BX2200 also had a leaking seal on the fuel tank sending unit. Cheap part but expensive laobor due to typical Japanese compact-have-to-everything-apart design. -1 to the Japanese design on that.
