I've moved off the farm and built a house on the edge of town - will be taking delivery of a new 2305 in a couple days to keep from driving my wife crazy. I've read many posts on this great site to help make that decision and really appreciate the information. The tractor is coming with a 62MM mower, 200CX loader, weighted tires and ballast box.
I understand the shortcoming of the limited Cat 1 three point but haven't actually experienced it yet. I need to pick up two more attachments right away - a 48 inch box blade and 5 or 6 ft. landscape rake. Might also pick up a back blade later if it seems like I needed.
For these two attachments am I better off with the Cat 0 "XB" line from King Kutter or should I go with the heavier full Cat 1 attachments? I'm not inclined to tear things up and won't be doing any commercial work, but don't tolerate junk, either.
With the different geometry of the Cat 0 tools, can you raise them higher so that it's worth paying the same or more $ for a lighter tool?
I'll be using them to landscape a two acre building site that is currently bare clay subsoil (topsoil has to be hauled in yet, but it's been brought to rough grade and our house is finished) and to maintain about 250 feet of fairly level gravel driveway. Thanks in advance for your help.
