2305 buying decisions

[x595]

Kubota BX1850 or BX2350 OR JD 2305. Either model will have a MMM and FEL.
Service wise the JD dealer around here seems to be a LOT better than the kubota dealer. Currently when my kubota needs serviced I have the local JD dealer do the service because they are faster and a lot cheaper.
Thanks for listening to the rambling, lets hear it guys!

Hi 98ramtough ,

The Dealer is a very important decision maker in the buying process ...

They are all nice Tractors , but it seems like the joystick on the BX's , was
in a weird area , I want to say on the loader frame , but I,m not for sure ,
where as the joystick on the 2305 was on the Tractor down on the side
in a more comfortable position ...

Good luck ...

Later,x595

Thanks for your help! I picked up my 2305 on Saturday and the mower deck used (2 hours on it) on Sunday. I LOVE this tractor. I love the cut the mower gives, and it does great. No tire prints in my yard and it turns very tight for its size. I won't miss my X300 a bit. Even though it was a great mower.

Oh, and as far as price, I got the tractor with 105 hours on it with quick 3pt and 200 cx loader and box scraper for $10,500. I bought the mower deck private party with 2 hours on it for $1k. Probably could have found the mower deck a little cheaper used but it was like brand new and the guy installed it for me. It mows great!

That's a really nice tractor. Interestingly, just today I saw a landscaping crew using a 2305 for mulch moving, etc. It had 2100 hours on it!!! It still looked OK and they said had not given them a moment's trouble. Just to give you an idea of what to expect.

Nice looking tractor. It looks like you picked a winner. I've had a 2210 for several years now. Looking at the pictures, I noticed your turn signals/warning flashers. I have to mow close to brush and trees and scraped one of mine off. I then relocated them to the inside of the ROPS.
