I have chains for the front and rear tires on my machine which is the same size, different model number. If you go front chains you will need to flip the tires for the added clearance, or buy wheel spacers. I need the traction all the time, but we do walks here after the storm instead of with it. So we are moving 3-4 foot tall berms from the city plows off the walks. Rear chains dont tear up stuff much as long as you dont spin the tires. Fronts have to come off as soon as the sun starts cooking the snow off. If the chains can get to the concrete, every time you turn you are going to gouge the concrete.

Usually land pride is what we use for implements. Green costs too much. The box blade s mostly for weight, it does come in handy for pushing in reverse though.

What do you mean capacity Mark?

I think I'm pulling the trigger on a 3046r w/ rotary broom for sidewalks, I think the quality of clear for our residential customers will blow them away.

This might be as good a place as any to ask this. I bought a 2015 1025r this summer. Got a really great deal on it, it had 224 hrs on it.
Came with the 60" drive over deck, 54" blower (never used), 60" broom, 54 blade, all the attachment hardware.
I got them to throw in a H120 loader, installed for $600 over the asking price.
Here's what I'm unhappy about. What is the point of having a quick tach loader, if the front bracket that holds the long front pto shaft can't be left on the tractor with the loader?
I have seen some other forums where they have modified the kickstand part of the loader to clearance the bracket, by heating and pulling the tube straight, or notching the bottom of the front bracket to fit the loader tube.
Maybe I'm asking too much, but I don't think I should have to remove the front pto shaft, just to put the loader on to move some pallets around and then go back to the front attachment.
Anyone modified their loader to fix this?
So I went with a push box on the loader, and a box blade on the back, to use on our small to mid size parking lots and am using my x720 with the broom on the walks and even with our +/- 1" snows on the parking lots as well.
The broom does an outstanding job compared to plows/pushers.

Yes, it is stupid.

No, I wasn't aware there was a mod for it.

You mean removing the deck?
Or changing the FEL to the front pto bracket.
The deck came off as it was supposed to, once we figured out that they had disconnected the one hydraulic line from the system to install the loader lines.
Have not put on the front pto bracket yet.

You have to remove all the auto connect deck brackets/linkage/PTO coupler to put the front driveshaft in. Completely defeats the purpose in my opinion.

No, I didn't know that. So, attachments are QUICK HITCH, but, assemblies are supposed to be QUICK CHANGE, and they really aren't. Disappointing.

OK I run a 2305. I believe that its basically the same machine. I could be very wrong but I think the 1025 was the replacement for the 2305? Anyway, what implements are you running off a front PTO? Everything I have looked for the 2305 is hydraulic driven I believe. I know the mid mount mower deck runs off the mid mount PTO. It sounds like the front PTO is an extension shaft off the mid mount PTO?

It is. Quick hitch broom and blower both run off the mid PTO via a driveshaft that runs under the tractor to the front.
