Ordered up a 2320 this morning...

:licking:

Bone stock no implements but with Turf Tires. Going to run it mostly with a Ryan 48" Lawnaire Core Aerator on the 3 point.

So it will be a low hour machine, but will earn high dollars when in use.

Got what I think is a good price of 11,500. Plus tax out the door is 12190.00 That's with a 500 dollar cash back deal and zero percent financing. Nothing required down either.

Dealers a few miles away and it will be here Thursday.

In the future I will add a slit seeder possibly a Brillion, a MMM, and possibly a 54" broom and a backblade.

I don't need the mower now as my lawn is small but I plan on moving to some acreage when markets improve and I can off the place I am in and may add the brush and blade if I decide to sub myself out for some snow removal but I just sold my plow truck earlier this year since I am sick of snow plowing so the brush and blade may never happen. :laughing:

Good choice. And now you need to investigate the JD forums for tips. You're looking for tips on diesel stabilization, fueling, oil changes, winter preparation etc.
Good luck.

Thanks Rag.

I will be asking for tips and have a head start on equipment, equipment maintenance and especially winter prep as I own a lot of nice lawn care toys like ride on spreader sprayers, a 300 gallon sprayer, aerators, a machine seeder etc.

But this piece is new to me so I will certainly be relying on help from you guys.

I think you will like your new tractor. It is small but I have found it to be a good workhorse machine. As mentioned, I have enjoyed using it as much as any machine I have ever had. I suppose it's because one would expect a 4520, for example, to perform well but when a 24.1 GHP machine does more than expected, it seems more satisfying in a way.

Thanks JCM. I'm looking forward to getting it and making some money with it.

You may need to get some suitcase weights for the front-IIRC it holds five 40lb. ones on the front bumper. Expect to pay $1 per pound for them.

I'm almost sure I will have to. Just for safety and added stability.

Congrats on the new tractor.:thumbsup:

I am waiting for a new X749 to come in right now. I considered the 2320 and gave it alot of consideration, finally the four wheel steering won out though. The 2320 is a nice small tractor I am sure you will like it.

Let us know how it pulls the aerator--with pictures!

Congrats

Plus the X749 has a cup holder!

I will.....but won't be even getting the aerator till next year. I know it seems weird but I'll play with it for a half hour then it goes into storage in the shop under a blanket till next year.

Like I said this will be a low hours machine to start anyhow and if the wheels are turning it'll be making money even though my girlfriend calls it a toy.
