I’m very happy with the sweet set-up. I also was upgraded to the HD bucket. I want to bolt on a cutting blade for some additional protection and longevity. I’ll likely grab some plow markers and a flap too.
I added the Bluetooth radio and kicker speakers last night. Didn’t expect speakers to already be there. Those were tossed - lol.

I don't think you will be missing the 2320 anytime soon now!!!! Major upgrade.
I think you're right! I had the heat on last night for the first time - wow! What a difference that was!

4052R has great environmental controls!!! Great heat in the winter (I'm in central Vermont, so you know what's it's like) and great AC in the warmer weather.
You're gonna love it!!
I like the 2 steps into the cab...mine has only one step (mine is a 2015 model bought used). Might have to ask the dealer about that.
I have the H180 loader with mechanical self-leveling. Never figured I'd use the self-leveling, but it comes in real handy when I'm using the pallet forks
If you don't have a block heater, I suggest you get one. The Yanmar engines are pretty good in the colder weather, but the block heater makes it much easier. An hour or two is all you need...
Where abouts in Vermont are you?

The self-leveling option is very nice! I do have a set of forks I use often (they seem to fit the bill on so many jobs) and I am sure the self-leveling option would make loading easier.
She does have the block heater too. I will be using a timer, and/or a WiFi switch to control pre-heat. I use that for my truck, and it's pretty slick.
I am in Springfield Vermont.
...and I feel it! It's going to take a moment or two until I feel it's part of my body. Right now, I feel like I am running some sort of forestry equipment. lol
I do like that the hydrostatic is the same set-up. I also like that the engine RPM changes with pedal pressure. That was not something I had on the ol' 2320.

Yes, that auto rpm regulated by the foot throttle is a very nice feature. My MIL's tractor (MF 1750M - about the size of your tractor) has that and it will spoil you. That tractor you have will spoil you quickly.

Also, I'm sure you know this or read this in your manual, it is really important to let the turbo charged engines cool down and warm up. Manual will tell you the cool down and warm up time. The MF is at least 2 minute cool down I usually go 3 or 4 min. and warm up depends on outside temp.

I like it too. My 3039r step is 19" high.
I hope to get to town this week to see what the dealer can come up with.

I did call my dealer...and, the 2 step is available
Thank you for the heads-up. I didn't see that in the manual yet. The dealer didn't mention it either. I tend to do a warm-up all the time, but the cool down I have not been used to. Good post - thank you.
The "John Deere - 2 step" sounds like a new dance.

Depends on how hot the engine gets...my chores (except for PTO use) rarely need more the 1500 RPM.
However, it is a good idea to let it fast idle (1500 RPM) for a couple minutes after first startup of the day
BTW, I also never idle my tractor at 1000 RPM. Once the oil pressure is up, the RPM is increased to 1500 RPM. Extended low RPM idling tends to produce more soot, and more frequent regens.
That's my experience...
Thank you for the information. That’s really helpful. I’ve been so busy I have not had a chance to even use it! Now being deer season, I probably will not do too much until winter.
We have a bunch of work to do on the new arena. I’m excited to get that going, but I need to have a mini to put in some drainage first. Hope to have that sorted soon.

Wow, nice Deere for sure. Always had a soft spot for the cabbed 3 - 4 series.

This is true, if you're just putting around the yard/farm at lowish RPMs the cool down isn't as important as if you are bushhogging, tilling and really working it.
I've started to work my tractor at higher RPMs for the reason you state regarding low RPMs for a long period of time isn't good on it either. I usually work at about 1600 to 1800 RPMs unless I'm doing serious loader work, tilling or Bushogging then I run higher RPMs
