I started out looking at the X749 but by the time you added the 3 point hitch and all the bells and whistles I wanted It was up to a 2320/2520 price. Once I decided that I was going to be looking at the 2320, 2520 and the 2720 It didn't take long to X out the 2720 as I wasn't going to run a bush hog or tiller off the back pto and I thought that the few extra Hp wasn't worth $1,500 to $1,800 extra in the price tag. Now it came down to the 2320 and the 2520. I went and looked at both of these tractors at the dealers. Both had the $1,000 off with two implements. The 2720 did not. So my reasoning was if I don't buy the 2720 I just saved $1,500 to $1,800 bucks. Then add that $1,000 rebate. Bingo !!! There's my free front end loader. There were a couple small things that kept me from the 2320. One was I liked the larger rear wheels and the larger Hydraulic pumps on the 2520. The best thing about when I was ready to take delivery of my 2520 is John Deere raised the rebate from $1,000 to $2,500 so it was just perfect timing for me and I fell in love all over again..
Wheeew I tired now.. :laughing:
