Hey, you weren't going to say anything bad about your BX!? Enjoy your beautiful new B2320. I have had my B2620 for two years now with few issues and all expectations exceeded.

Congratulations on your new tractor! I was in the woods working on new trails with my B2620 yesterday, and was once again reminded what a tough, and nimble tractor it is. I did work that I never would have attempted with my old BX22, and never had it over 1800 rpm, and usually it was closer to 1500. It was very relaxing to do so much work without having to use a lot of rpm. If I get out there today, I'll take some pictures of the roughed in trail.

Congratulations on your trade and new tractor. Traded my BX2350 off due to abrupt stop in reverse and have never looked back. I've had/got BX's, B's and an L and F's. I'm real partial to the B's for hillside loader work. F's are mowing Kings and BX's are great all around small tractors. The L was Grand for level land work but the B's have a special place for me even though I don't currently have one. Maybe a B2320 will fall off of one of Barlows delivery trucks one day near my home.

So today I used the tractor to help with the leaves. I fill the loader and dump them over a stone wall. The BX could never quite get up to get the leaves over the wall. With more ground clearance I can now get the leaves up and over the wall. Still not comfortable with the go pedals but hopefully I'll adapt. Turned repeatedly on the lawn and no marks yet even though it has been wet here. Keeping my fingers crossed. The best part is the ride out to my mailbox. On the BX it was slow to go a 1/2 mile. The B is no speed demon but I actually had to slow down on the corners a bit. I really like the higher top speed. Something to think about if your tractoring requires a lot of travel. More to come.....just need chores to do

:laughing::laughing:......Not at you Harpoon...:laughing::laughing:......a few months ago there was a conversation here about buying a new tractor and the OP mentioned not getting a FEL.....one reply was "If you don't get a FEL with your new tractor , then all you get is a slow ride to the mailbox".......

:laughing::laughing:.....Sorry, this just tickled the funny bone.....

More seat time today. Off and on the tractor a lot. I'm 6' 2" and it's a bigger step up for sure. Not as easy on and off as the BX and getting off on the right side is a pain with the loader control right in the way. Tradeoff, as I like the loader control position when using it.
Couple of questions for other B owners. What RPM do you usually run at when just traveling around doing light loader work? And what RPM for mowing?

It's still a slow ride, just not AS slow.
