2 Acres half Woods and Lawn Is this B2320 for me?

Gpint,

I believe a friendly debate is a giod thing because Avery has shown a tendency to alter perspectives as some new tractor prospects do. So a well reasoned and friendky debate from members can often bring out points that his lack of experience would not be able to bring out himself.

I also think that upnto a point its healthy because ge hasbyetbto drive some of the units at all so he can write down certain points being made so his test drive time is more productive. And the appearance of a debate is not even brand oriented imo . . also being healthy.

But at the same time Avery needs to take information posters offer and "make it his own". None of us walk his property . . but he does.

I can't speak for anyone else . . but for me at least . . a friendly debate is not something you win . . its purpose is to merely be heard and balanced. Then Avery acts on that infornation as he chooses or researches. I know when I was considering choices . . I actively desired others to point and counterpoint because it alliwed me to see how logical the viewpoints were.

If I have offended anyone . . I apologize. I just don't like the idea of rookies being "led" to any one conclusion.

This becoming a debate between members with the desire to win the debate.

At some point, you just need to make a decision. There will never be enough empirical data to make the decision for you.

A bunch of great posts came in while I was at a meeting. You are both right. I DO need to make a darn decision and I am benefitting from the discussion.

Can't tell you all how valuable your time is to me. I didn't know most of these machines existed a week ago. It's a lot to take in so I appreciate all the advice that I'm sure you've given a hundred times to rooks like me.

I can almost see it from here, boys.

Avery,

Once you have a tractor . . It would be pretty easy to put in some irrigation. If you have a ripper tooth to attach to a 2 inch receiver or 3 pt. Trailer mover . . You can make 200 feet of shallow trench in no time. And it isn't rocket science to put in some underground sprinklers that each cover a 35 to 40 foot radius and cists are quire low. And the kids could help.

I imagine most of us have been the recipient of valuable input from others over time and are just glad we can pass it on to someone else. I've sure gotten a lot of good advice here.

On tires tearing up the lawn... my experience has shown that it depends mostly on the lawn soil type. I have R4s on my BX and routinely navigate across my grass and that of my neighbor's. I also have a Z turn with turfs and mow both lawns. Most of my grass is planted on a sandy soil base that I added, and gets torn up easy when turning or slipping whether the R4s or turfs. On my neighbor's yard which is much harder (more clay/loam), both tires do far less damage almost none. Granted his yard is more established and much older but I think it is the soil type and hardness that matters more than the tire.

Update: I have decided on the B2320 after a lot of looking and some test driving. For the money, I could not find more power and versatility for my particular application. I got a great deal on my friend's machine and there are 2 Kubota dealers within 30 minutes of me so service/support won't be an issue. I will take possession in a couple weeks.

Thank you all for the patience, wisdom, and advice!
