revitup...very very nice tractor. I myself have the 2320 and have never been disappointed. Enjoy her and have fun.
Just one item worth mentioning as I was going over your pics (in the enlarged view). In your 3rd pic i noted that you only had one pin secured (somewhat secured that is since the hairpin cotter pin isn't in either)for the fold down ROPS. I must admit, that on occasion I have done that also, knowing that once I get to the barn or implement I will get off and secure everything once I have stopped. The reason I bring this up is not b/c of the safety issue (I am aware this exists also), but that by not placing the pin in the hole, it allows it to swing and move freely on the cable. Needless to say, I am familiar with this since it has cracked the lense on my flasher. Not a big deal but just a little FYI in keeping your tractor looking new.
Again, enjoy your new toy and get her dirty!

Thanks "Lost"......
I keep the tractor in my garage, and have to fold down the ROP's for it to clear the door, so mostly, the ROP's will be left down. I do keep all the pins secured when it's folded.
A good point about the pin swinging around and possibly bashing the flasher lens, I will remember that tip.
