We've had an ex2900 for a couple months. It's a 2011 and we got it with 13 hours on it for 12,200. It has a front end loader with loaded tires and the brush guard. It's had ample power for snowplowing this year, although we haven't had a ton of snow. I have no reservations about the power. We will also use it for mowing grass. we love it. only complaints....no cup holder, you have to remove the side panel to check oil, and it's a little tight mounting and dismounting. I've had tractor gurus look at it, and they say it's built very very well.

I just bought EX3200 with front end loader and turf tires for $14,600. Be interested to hear how that compares with prices you are seeing. So far I have moved some large logs and some dirt and I love it.

I've owned my EX3200 for 2 years. It has been a good tractor for moving snow and dirt with the loader and a box blade, I also use it on a 5' rotory mower and 52" tiller with no problems. Downside: When I turn around to watch attached equipment my knee hits the key and turns the unit off if I'm not careful,(with the seat all the way back). When using the loader the rearend is light, and had to design weight to counter that. The same for the front when I use the 5' mower on three point, again I designed weights for this. I've been unable to find wheel weights made for this tractor which would be nice.

 

[alltherage]

are your rears loaded?

I have a 2008 EX3200. It's been very reliable, no service issues, easy start etc. As already mentioned, operator station a little tight. I use mine with 6' box blade, 5' rotary mower, 6, landscape rake, and a middle buster. A little light in front with the mower on and loader off, especially if grass is damp but 4wd compensates well.

3010 - any pics of the weights you designed for front? I haven't been able to find anything to work with the FEL mount.

I too have an EX3200 TLB. I have used mine for tree stump removal and landscaping. Feel free to email me for more info.

I have the small SC2450. I built a small counter weight using an old piece of culvert and cement. Works well because I can roll it around when not on the tractor. Make sure you put in a piece of pipe while it sets so you can slide a rod through

I used to own a CCY SC2400 but recently traded it in on a 2012 Yanmar EX 3200 and so far, all I can say is "wow", this is one heck of a tractor. I can honestly say that because I used to own a few farm tractors of various sizes and horsepowers. I currently have 26 hrs on it and am kicking myself for not buying one sooner. As to what I like, well, the list is long but here are a few key things that should interest you. The tractor is very well built with a solid cast iron drive train which is beefier than most, it has a 5 year powertrain warranty which I hope I never use but it's nice to know it's there, and has run the 8ft brush hog without struggling like my Ford 3000 would do now and then. I will say, I find the driver's station somewhat cramped being I'm 6'3" and about 230lbs but overall, that is a small factor compared to what this tractor can and has done. Plus, the tranny is a hydro and has 3 ranges which gives it enough variables to do what ever you want it to do with power to spare. As for price, I paid a little bit more than what I've seen them advertised for on the internet at other dealers but being my family has bought from the same dealer since 1946, I know they will go the extra mile to fix it as quickly as possible if it ever goes down.
