Congratulations....... she's beautiful !
Thanks Ductape, I got to tell you all I am "IN HEAT" this thing is unreal.
The way it handles the Implements I had for the 2305 is unreal.
Today I hooked up my Land Pride rototiller and went to town.
I am making an area for my wife to plant strawberries.
Again Imatch hooked up in a moment ,the tractor feels like it has no idea the thing is back there!!!
The 2305 used to sway around with these things on it.
I will post some more photos later this week right now Im to busy getting too know my new Girl!!!!!

It does look good! I like it so much I want one! 
I have been lurking on TBN for a few months absorbing the information out there and am in the late stages of my shopping. As most of the "discount" info seems to be old, may I ask what discount off list you got from your dealer? I requested bids from a few dealers on a 2520 with a boatload of implements and I still hope to save a few dollars in negotiations if possible...
Thanks Ray

Hi Ray,
Hey, if there is one thing I have learned on the internet its stay away from money talk..... Everyone and their brother can by it cheaper!
I went with my local dealer I did not shop around, and this is my second tractor from them. The owner of the shop keeps his boat just down the way from me and we are friends.... I bought it right and Im happy!
Also they gave me good trade money on my other tractor.
Good luck, I know you will love it!!!!!

Tatooz,
I agree the 2020's are much more machine than the 2305 (though it is nice). As many on the forum know I have had all three size ranges in JD compacts. My current machine is a little 2320 and I love it. It maintains the property I used the other machines to clear and landscape just fine. I could not justify going to a 2520 or 2720 for my use as I do not do a lot of loader work anymore. I tested them all box blading my drive, doing light-medium duty loader work and hauling, digging, etc. For these tasks there was essentially no difference on my property between each of the 2020 units, but there was a huge difference between them and the 2305. I had thought a 2305 might suit my current needs OK and would not take up much garage space but the 2320 would pull either a 4' or 5' BB better on my drive than the 2305 I tested pulled the 1048L BB it had. That sold me, despite not having much more (if any in my case) HP, the 2020s are stepping up quite a bit in frame weight and "real" tractor design. Your prvious 2305 was a solid machine, but not quite at the 2020 level. Enjoy your new tractor, it is a nice one.
