Has any one on here had a 4100 or 4110 and switched to a 2320? I've got 800 hours on my 4110 and thinking of the switch. Some things I don't like are the difficulty of hooking up the drive shaft for the mower and the hydraulic couplers for the loader. Don't seem to be near as handy as my 4110. And of course I would have to replace all my attachments ie loader, cab,front hitch. and mower. Lets have it boys.

you would haft to custom oreder the cab because the 2320 does not have the cab option from John Deere but i heard the 2320 is more handy than bigger tractors also John Deere came out with the 303E seriess tractors

I have a 4110...
What would be the benefit of getting a 2320? I just can't see what it has that your 4110 does not You would be wasting money IMHO. Now trading it in on a 3x20...go for it!

Recently, in about the last 2 weeks, there was a guy on here that traded either a 4100 or 4110 in on a 2720. So far I think he has been very happy with it. If you want to trade it in for something modern and you've got the money than I'd say go for it.

Unless you're dying to help the economy out of recession or it has been giving you lots of trouble or you just have the itch for something newer, I'd suggest keeping your current rig.

I guess I have some experience for you. I had a 4100. Loved it, very maneuverable, nice little tractor. I wanted more PTO HP for a snowblower I built, and heavier tractor in general for loader operations, so two years ago I sold the 4100 and bought a 2520. Super tractor! The longer frame and more weight makes for a much more capable loader tractor. And just about enough HP for just about everything the tractor frame is capable of. Most every attachment I had for the 4100 fit the 2520, except I had to lengthen the driveshaft for power to the front quick tach for the blower. No big problem there. Here it is two years later and I find myself needing to upgrade the power again. I need enough for a small square baler (without wagon). Also looking forward to having a loader mounted to the frame at the sides and front again, like the 4100 was, and the 2520 was not. Look into the differences in the loader mounting. The 300CX mounts at the front of the tractor frame like your 410 loader does now. The 200CX loader mounts at the side pillars only. It is an interesting difference. Good luck.
Jim did your 410 loader fit as well. Thats one concern I have. My loader is like new and hate to spend 3 or grand if I don't need to. As far as the snowblower goes that stupid little 47 blower won't even make the 4110 work so I certainly don't need more power.

Yes, the QA specs are the same, so all buckets, forks, spears and blades will fit all the way through the 400x/cx series loaders.

The 47 is not a "stupid little blower". I've done 4 foot drifts here and even saved a neighbor or two when the snow started flying. It does slow down the 2320 at 24 hp if you push it too fast although the 2720 never misses a beat.
While it's true hp sells it is also true that hp makes a big difference.
Run a generator or a rotary cutter and hp is very apparent.
A 2320 will give you about 18 pto hp which is a little low for me. I like to see at least around 24 or 25 hp myself.
If you want a 2 series then I'd go with the 2720 and not the 2320.

Compared to what other companys sell for a blower the 47 is a joke. I can fill that blower to overflowing with my 4110 and never lose an RPM. Secondly it's 6" narrower than the tractor. They need a blower at least 56" wide to work properly. That blower was introduced for the 425 garden tractor. And it did a good job for that application. That was 15 years ago. Tractors have changed since then.
As for a generator, I run a 10KW (10,000) watt unit with the 4110 and it never misses a beat. Power to spare.
I guess I'll have to get a blower custom built.

I saw a Kubota front snowblower on a B2920 not long ago, and it had the optional drift knives mounted. It looked like they added a couple, or three inches of width per side since they were somewhat z shaped. They bolted to both the top of the blower opening as well as the side, and I thought at the time that they could work just fine on the JD blower as well. A couple of measurements would confirm that. I wish that I had written down the part number that was included in the price tag...... They were also black, and not the dreaded Kubota orange.
First off. I easily slowed down the engine on my ex 2320 pushing snow with the 47 blower and it had 24 hp as opposed to the 20 you can't seem to slow down on a full bucket.
Secondly. The math doesn't add up on your generator. 10KW / 746 = 13.4 hp. That's without efficiency losses which all generators and drivelines have. (that's why your 20 hp tractor has 17 pto hp.)
Northern's 7200 watt gen. requires, according to them, 14 hp. Your tractor puts out 17 pto. Doing the math for Northern's generator and yours that means 14/7200 = 17/x which = 8,742 watts is just about the max your gen. will pull with your pto IF you really have 17 pto hp. So you may be running it but you're not running it at 10KW with "power to spare". Sorry.
The rule for gens. is 2 pto hp. for every KW which is just about what Northern requires for theirs.
2 hp per KW

AND it's not 6" narrower than the tractor not even the 2720. Geeze get your facts straight!
