they can lift the same but the 2520 will do it quicker

I wrote that before I owned a 2320 and 2520 (currently own)...
I expressed my thoughts ad nausem on this subject in more recent threads

Schweeeet, so my loader isn't slow and weak... just slow.
So far I love my 2320, I have 3 1/2 hours on it and tore 2 large pine trees out, moved crushed concrete, 20 yards of top soil and did some mowing too.
This loader has plenty of power for my use, if I had to use it daily I may want faster movement.

Love that cup holder!

Glad to hear you love your JD 2320 - I am in the process of deciding between a 2320 and a New Holland TC30. I plan to move a pile of dirt, dig up some rocks, and do some trail cutting with a rotary mower - think it is up to the job? Thanks for your feedback!

I can't see any reason why the 2320 wouldn't be able to handle any of the things you listed. The only reason I could see really needing anthing larger or more HP is getting into serious farming. It is one very well designed machine, I did some comparing more with the Kubota and there were numerous things I preferred on the JD.
That New Holland TC30 looks like a nice machine too with more HP. Gotta figure out what your doing the most and what fits the best. My neighbor has the New Holland TZ22DA, I had to wipe some green drool from his chin after driving my 2320. Now that's a whole different tractor from what your looking at though. Lawn mowing will be the primary thing this will be used for down the road a few years.
I would be interested in a comparison of the lift weight capacity on both. The Kubota had the joystick for the loader in the same location and the New Holland, I personally liked the location next to the seat on the JD a little better.

Anyway, Good luck and let us know what happens!
