I was using the plow blade on my Craftsman tractor to level out the end of the driveway where people have spun the dirt away from the edge of the pavement this afternoon when my neighbor stopped by to chat. He said that he had something that would probably work pretty well on . Those are Carlisle All Trails tires, they work great. The rake is about 40 inches behind the rear tires. But it needs the wheel so I can set how deep I want the stone. Small Fry is offline

Included with the tractor were the 42" snow blower, 42" deck, 36" rototiller and an Allis Chalmers tow behind lawn sweeper. Shortly after I purchased it, I picked up an AC dirt plow for next to nothing. I had to modify the lift mechanism, Here's one more of the tractor itself, one of the garden bed that is now about 1ft deep of pillowy soft dirt, and the pile of wood-chips that I'll be pushing around this weekend (granted the hydro holds out).

With a dire predictions of a 12+ snowfall here in NJ, I'm curious to know how the 2305 with the 54" blade, turf tires and no chains, performs in deep snow. In previous years, I've plowed every 6-8" but with blizzard conditions

I was almost trying to get the tractor stuck in some of the deeper stuff and it just didn't happen. My X500 would've been stuck for sure. Only once did I get the 2720 in a spot that felt a bit like it may be stuck, but I engaged the diff lock I also pushed back some of my drifts while trying out plowing in high gear. I think I'll be able to push an easy 4-5" of snow in high if I desire. Exactly what I was looking for. I really look forward to getting the FEL and start

It will throw it 20 or more feet over the last snow pile. It will also clear really deep snow. You do have to raise the feet on the blower about an inch so that you don't pick up too many rocks. They're not real good for the innards of

last week i bought a 2305 with a cab, loader, mid mount mower, and some other accessories from a friend. unit only has 100 hours, its practically new. i have a landscaping business, and i plow sidewalks in the winter time. i was thinking about getting something larger but i . The only drawback is that I have to dig extra wide holes to get deep enough for a fence post. I think an auger would be better suited for that app, but other than that, awesome attachment!

You do have traction control on the X540, so if you have flat terrain you may get by with out the chains if the snow is not too deep. Personally I would rather have the chains and not have to worry about it. Some jobs require all the snow to be pushed to one side and heavy stuff piles pretty quick. Backing up, especially with a blower/plow raised will reduce your traction LOTS. There's always some snow left after a plow and it gets slippery quick running over it on

It almost certainly requires a hydrostatic transmission, as the chute needs to be kept full -- a task that varies with how heavy (wet/dry) and deep the snow is. A hydrostatic transmission makes this quite easy, and with a little practice 2009 JD- 2305, 2520 & 2720, hoe, FEL, 6 & 8" Bearcat woodchippers, 5' lawn rake, grading blade, 48" Lawn Roller, 66" Horst Snow Plow, 60"Box Blade with T & T cylinder,2007-3320,2009 X500, X749 & 997 ZTR & 17D, 27 & 35 excavators JD17P
