Well I can't tell everyone how much I am enjoying the TBN forums. It has provided me with a significant amount of information that has been a great asset is narrowing my search on my first tractor. My previous thread (Green vs Orange) was very informative and helped me in determining the manufacturer and they type of tractor I will finally end up going with. I was intially considering a x540 garden tractor but after getting numerous responses to my other thread as well as reading numerous other threads from others on here I've modified my decision to a SCUT...either a JD 2305 or 2320. My situation remains the same as before, which is I have about an 1.5 acres to mow currently and am looking to ultimately end up on our farm in IL (160 acres, 5 acres to mow, 7-10 acres to bush hog). While the SCUTs will be a little over kill currently, I am looking more to the future and don't want to waste 7k on a tractor that I will outgrow within a couple of years.
So....the questions begin....2305 or 2320?? In looking at both tractors I am inclined to lean towards the 2320 so I can take advantage of a true cat 1 3 pt hitch and the drive over deck. Other then that...are there any additional advantages between the two? I watch some utube videos of both tractors in action and they both appear to be pretty nimble. I test drove a CC SC2400, and was amazed at the manuverbility of the little SCUT (I think its better then my little 42" craftsman that's on its last legs). While I haven't driven either the 2305 or 2320, I hope to this week. Anyway, other then mowing right now (I'm just getting the tractor and mower to start) I plan on using it for snow removal, bush hog, and general farm chows once I am on our family farm.
I look forward to everyones thoughts and recommendations.
