JD 2305 mower deck lift problems

17 years ago

Anyone had problems with new JD 2305 mower deck lift problems?

According to the dealer, they changed the lift mechanism to a hydraulic ram using line from loader bucket curl. When running at 2500 rpm's hydraulic volume is way too much and snaps deck up and hits the tractor frame.Same with letting it down. It just drops! Feathering loader valve does not always work and is very touchy. I think it needs a restrictor to limit the flow. Some how slow it down. Any experience out there?

Thanks

MY idea is to check a TRACTOR online FORUM and see if they can .COMe up with something for you and your dealer.

i can't say what i meant, but the hint is to check the capital letters and only the caps.
