Would it be for me?

[aesanders]

I guess you couldn't attack me for being a new guy like Efreet, but simply say I'm wrong. I think Efreet had a pretty accurate take about the "Jehovah's Witnesses of 2520".

I'll leave it at that...

I dont want to attack anyone.
your the one attacking me.

your the one haveing a hard time with it. not me.
I just tell it like it is.

Nuff Said.....

 

[aesanders]

Not attacking anyone!! How about this comment you made...


********Wow , I just saw this Micky Mouse comment...
from some new guy who has not helped anyone..

it dont even deserve a reply..********************


Your whopping 2 month longer on the board really make you the cat's meow of all posters. And I can almost bet that if we removed all posts by you that bragged about the 2520, then you would have less posts the Efreet.

Fact of the matter is I can really care less about what tractor you have. And the whopping $2500 it cost more than my tractor (my dealer only charges about 1k more). They are both fine tractors. I just try to give my 2 cents to the original posters question about 1.5 to 2 acre lawn. Do you honestly think by that question the 2520 is the best tractor for him? Now since he added that he had foundations to dig etc. the recomendations might change with more knowledge. But from what was originally asked, the 2520 would not be the machine that I, or just about any dealer for that matter, would recomend for that particular task.

I would like to get back onto higher ground on this thread. I have found that matters of perception are impossible to argue. My dad just bought a new pickup which he let me drive the other day. I thought it was enormously better driving than his 2002 model which he traded in, yet he thinks it is "about the same." Same applies with tractors. Specifically in this instance the 2320 and the 2520. As I noted in my earlier posting, I am not a fan of the Limited Cat 1 hitch, but otherwise I like the 2305. The 2320 to me is a good deal as it has heavier frame and transaxle and a full cat one hitch, which I think makes it. To go to a 2520 will get one more hydraulic capacity and a longer wheelbase and some more weight, larger tires and a direct injected diesel. Some like that additional stuff, some don't. For me personally, the 2520 runs too close in price to a 3120 to not consider that machine over it, but for many a 2520 is a perfect machine. If I were looking compact though, I think the 2320 is quite capable, especially for a two acre or so plot.

Personaly , you like to argue. or rather yet run that mouth.
i simply tell people what i have done with the tractor.
so i know what it can do. I run it everyday. people ask
i tell them. if thay want to listen fine. if not thats fine to,
your the one that wants to make it a debate. and say there
is no difference in the tractors. when i know there is.
and i will put my money where my mouth is. i am in marietta
GA you bring your 2320. and we will hook to a plow or whatever you want .
i will out pull you i will out lift you front or back. or any other thing you wish to do. any work task you choose. and we will end this once and for all. Now call my bluff Slick. and i should be able to. thats what makes this whole conversation stupid. cause its more tractor. not better just more power and size.
and i dont think i can . I know i can. i am not going to make this offer with someone with a 3520 . cause i know i cant do it. so there is no need saying i can. as for posts. i have helped alot of people. some people even bought tractors because of my discussions. i went and read your posts.
in your 500 posts. you have helped hardly anyone to amount to anything.
simply your opinions. what is that. all i told people were facts i have done.
like i said i just tell it like it is. if that bothers you dont read it.
you think whenever there is a discussion with a 2320 and 2520 in it
if someone says anything about a 2520. you think there bashing a 2320
I am not. i think its a nice tractor. if its the size and performance you need.
thats great i am happy with that. and you want to tell everyone there is no difference. well there is a whole lot of 2520 owners on this board that would not agree with you. and i am only one. go argue with someone else. i dont have time for this crap.

Good Night..

Aesanders - Efreet made an insulting comment which was uncalled for - and yes Chris2520 is very ethusiastic in his machine - and so are you with yours.
I will say you have always been very defensive in regards to the 2320 - we had some differences of opinions on this very same subject in the past. Its an old tiring subject which isnt worth fighting about and causing any lasting negative effects. I find it perfectly ok to disagree on this very subject! as long as it keeps the peace - correct?

I find Chris's post on his modifications and accomplishments one of the best ever offered to date on this board. It provides actual results in which someone can actually make a accurate decision from -
I also find your input helpful as well and hope that some type of peaceful co-existance can be found here

Im wondering if a john deere 2520 Would be a good tractor for about 1.5 - 2.0 acers of home/lawn??? We haven't built our new house yet but in the next few year we will be. but does anyone know if there will be any newer tractors that will be like the 2520 but a little more "updated" ???? Lemme know

I think we can sum up this thread - touch base in a few years after your house is built to see what new machines are available - nobody can predict what will be available then

 

[GordNovo]

So has anyone test driven the new B26?

Well, I certainly seemed to have stirred up some emotional responses. Truth be told, I wrote my comments in a very much tongue-in-cheek manner, hence the after the "Jehovah's Witnesses of 2520" comment (and I very rarely use a smiley). But Chris2520, are you desperately trying to prove me right? Your defensive responses, and the clearly unsubstantiated claims of "night and day" differences between models as close as the 2320 and 2520 make me think that I did not really need to employ that smiley after all, and the choice of your particular tractor model is really a matter of religious faith for you.

As far as being a n00b, you are right, I am. On the score of "he has not helped anyone", and therefore I do not deserve a voice, I can say that I am trying. Among my few posts I uploaded scanned technical data from Deere on the backhoe / MMM attachment differences between the 2320 and 2520 tractors, which helped several people clear up a confusing difference between these models. And I can promise that as long as I am a "n00b" I will reserve any voice of authority to things that I can back up with hard technical data, and not just blow smoke out of my @$$.

Will you please join me in doing the same?

 

[Chris2520]

I sure dont want to fuss about any of this.
and that was never my intention. and yes i will defend what i believe.
as far as technical data. I have never told anyone any information
that i had not tried and done for my self. i feel operating a machine.
and seeing the results , is alot more accurate that reading a peace of paper.
witch i express. and that seems to bother some. for that i am sorry.
but i just state the facts. I dont want to debate this subject anymore.
its a useless discussion. i opoligize it got out of hand. we are suppose to come here and relax and enjoy . and share our experences and love for tractors. lets just get back to that. may everyone be happy with the machine thay choose. i have nothing ferther to add.
lets just move on.

Chris...
