j2023h size comparison

[bigpinwheel]

I haven't been able to get eyes on this tractor yet, could someone who has fill me in? How to the size compare to the Kubota lineup I'm thinking bigger than a BX and right about the size of the Kubota B2320. Is that accurate..I see weight is similar with an edge to the LS but can't make heads nor tails of the tire size and ground clearance etc.

Thanks a bunch

I went and looked at a New Holland Boomer 20 (brother from another mother of the LS J2020) and a Kubota B2320 last week. They are pretty comparable in size. The LS is definitely bigger than a Kubota BX.

If I heard correctly, the J2023 isn't available yet - but the dealer I talked to made it sound like it will have a few improvements over the J2020.

Thanks E3A, that's what I was hoping to hear.

My pleasure. I may take a road trip to my nearest LS dealer soon. I'll see how much info I can get.

I talked to a local dealer that said he could order one for me but the price was so close to the b2320 that I think I'd be inclined to go that direction for the three speed hst and resale value if I ever needed to sell.

I like them both, but bought the Kubota B2620 because of the dealer. The new J2023h now has twin hydro pedals and that is nice. Not to mention 5 year powertrain warranty. Both good tractors.

The 2023 is out there. I did a test drive with one about a month or so ago. They are noticeably bigger than other SCUTs of different brands. The twin hydro pedals are a huge improvement. Also the hydro pump on the 2023 is much bigger than other SCUTs. AND...the 2023 loader has a lot more lift capacity. I'm saving my money for one right now.

Good to hear - the dealer I spoke to said they wouldn't be available until all of the 2020's are gone, which seemed a little strange to me. Were the twin hyrdo pedals located side by side like on a JD? I like that setup. May be worth waiting for.

Yes, the pedals are side by side.

Yes, the pedals are side by side.

Thanks - I just did some searching and found some pictures:

I also read some threads that had people saying they were getting this machine for between $12,000 - $12,500. Seems like a great value.
