Keep the 4100 or Get a 2305?

I tell ya I drove a 2520 the other day - it is pretty slick. When I bought my 2210, I would have seriously consider a 2520 instead. Your new loader would fit I think...

D.

Kinda, settled back in on my 4100, however, if that 4115 goes down in price, I might consider it! i cannot get by that 72 in deck for speeding up the grass cuttin'

To be honest with ya there is no improvement between these models thats worth the price difference for the tried and true 4100 and its replacement (the 2320). At best its a few hp at the PTO but no increase in hydrolics....the same thing with the 4115 replacement 2520, even less of a HP difference, and no increase in lift ability.

I wouldnt even consider the 2305 since you have a 4100 which is the superior machine.

The 410 loader was the bench mark for the 4010 thru 4115 series. I doubt there are many around but the 200cx is curved and has a little less lift ability than the 410. The curved arms come in handy when the tractor hood is curved like the 2320 & 2520 series. Not sure if you get that benefit on a 4100 with no curved hood.

If anything I would be shopping for a used or floor model of the 4115, it would be less on the wallet and get you where you wanted to be without giving up anything...

Well, yeah I did stay with my 4100. The arms of the 200cx, are higher than my hood, so it is not really noticeable that the hood is flat and not curved like the loader arms.

Yeah to get me to consider trading on the 4115, they would need to go down a bit and give me more for my unit. The loader works on both units so I would be okay there.
