Buying Advice 2305 with attachements

[mjncad]

Unless you have a burning desire to have a backhoe for your rig, I suggest you rent a mini-excavator for that kind of work.

For the cost of a hoe, I'd suggest you find some sort of cab to make winter use more pleasant. I don't get Vermont winters here; but the few times I've used my open station 4200 in winter has been downright miserable for me.

Hey all!

I am new (posted a few times in another thread) but mostly new. Thanks for the tips in advance!

Looking at a 2305, but I have some questions. I am also going to look at a Kubota, but have not had the chance yet to talk with either dealer.
Guys/gals - I need your input.

Check out the Kubota BXs and The MF 24 and 26 series.

Waiting for prices:

The JD 2009 2305 backhoe loader was quoted at 17K delivered.

I decided the hoe was not needed at this point - so I am going to see if I can get a 2305 or a 2320 with the following:

York Rake
frontier 60" rear mower (GM2060R)

I like different things about each tractor - so I will let you know!
