Looking at a 2006 2305

[johnwilldo]

I find my 2305 more than just a toy after more than 700 hours of plowing snow with the FEL, removing lots and lots of brush, mowing six acres of pasture and five acres of lawn, grooming the outdoor and indoor arenas, raking rocks from the pastures, grooming woods trails, pushing over dead trees, Pulling out fence posts, towing vehicles stuck in snow including a truck and horse trailer loaded with three horses on a snowy hill. It is a perfect fit for my small 23 acre farm.

Most people that call them toys bought them then expected them to do the work of a 50hp tractor.

To elaborate on my previous comment. My neighbor two doors down has several larger farming tractors with loaders, one in particular has an extendable boom. When he needed a mower for his yard at the house, he opted not to buy a loader for that tractor. He told me he regrets that decision. His farm loaders are too heavy for the lawn. To do again, he'd of bought a loader for his "toy" tractor. Again, these toy tractors have there place and do it well. Don't expect a 50hp tractor from a 23hp tractor.

Had mine some 2007. Loved it then and still do. Does the work and doesn't eat you up.
