I'm close to getting 2520, considering 2720, help me understand reasons for getting slightly larger rig. I like the 1 inch extra ground clearance. But not sure if the added weight is a fair trade off. Also, what was the additional cost to step up from 2520 (if you were thinking of that rig). Thanks in advance and I'll be tracking this thread.
:congrats: on the 2720 and :Welcome1:
There is no size or really any weight difference between the 2520 and 2720. Just the jump from 26.5hp to 31hp and $1500. :fing32:
Wow, was $1500 last time I checked.
Looks like the 2720 just took over the lead position. I was considering the 1026R. I have flat level pasture land, no unused area to "reclaim". Ground clearance and soft wet Washington soil is an issue (7.7" vs. 13"). I want to be able to mound rows in the garden and cultivate between.
Looks like I'll be keeping the riding mower (JD GX245) and let the tractor be a tractor and the mower be a mower. Maybe in a few years I get the MMM and collection system, but I'm concerned at the weight on the lawn, soft soil and ruts. 31HP to mow is a bit overkill, for a 120x75 lawn. Thanks for the info, keep us posted on your machines progress to get work done.
