did you trade? 2210 for 2320? talk to me!

Am considering upgrading my 2210 to a 2320 but I really must know and I have to hear from those who have made that trade, is there that much difference? I need to know how much faster the loader is and how the larger tires affect the ride and stability? my yard is really rough especially when it's dry. and sitting out in the open in the winter waiting for a slow loader to dump is no fun.

The 2320 is a good machine - i never thought the 2210 was slow but if you feel it its then you should look at the 2520 instead. The 2320 is a little bit faster than the 2210 based on a flow increase and PSI boost. The 2520 is a lot faster - Thats the main reason why I traded my 2320 for the 2520

Might want to think about a blower for winter....a Blower compared to a FEL in winter= you get cold moving snow with a FEL, any FEL

If $$$$$$$$$$$$ is EASY, then definately trade up!

Otherwise you'll be getting almost the same machine.

It sounds like your primary reasons to upgrade are to improve the ride and be more comfortable in the Winter while removing snow, both of which will probably not be solved with the 2320. Both the ride and loader speed are only marginal improvements on the 2320. As a suggestion, if you like all else about your 2210, may I suggest a roller for your lawn, and a cab for your tractor. The roller will smooth out your lawn (done in the Spring when its still a bit soft), and the cab will keep you much more comfy in the Winter. A suspension seat (if available) would also make a noticable difference in the ride.

I dont think it would be that close in comparison -the 2305 would be an exact vertical move. The 2320 is a significant upgrade. The engine is similar yes but the refinements, PSI and hydrolic specs are improved. ground clearance height and full CAT 1 reach is key as well....just my thoughts

I second the cab, roller, and blower route, otherwise go with the 2520 as Duc did.

If I may add a couple of points. My decision to purchase the 2320 vs the 2305 was based primarily on the improved ground clearance and 3PH capabilities. Had loader speed been an important need, I agree with JDFANATIC and would have considered the 2520. Personally, having a slower loader is not necessarily a bad thing, as I'll bet that most loader accidents could have been avoided by the operator simply slowing things down a bit. Also, I needed a tractor that could do most of the chores I had to do, including mowing my lawn. The 2320 was close to being a bit large for this chore, and the 2520 would in my opinion have been too large. After weighing, and then re-weighing my needs and budget, the 2320 made the most sense for me.
