2305 to a 2320

Jksnvly · Dec 4, 2006

Too much to do today (didn't get off shift until 6am) so Tuesday is 2320 day!

Visited 2 dealerships today, waiting for their numbers, 1 more on Wednesday. Had my first opportunity to view a 2320 next to a 2305, IMO the 2320 is much more tractor.

That's how I saw them, side by side. Pretty noticable difference. The one thing I don't understand (and I've heard of this before) is the dealer I've been going to does not stock them. He orders them on demand and the only way to see one is to see it before the new owner picks it up or has it delivered. Anyone know what that's about? Thanks.

Not sure why your dealer won't keep one in stock. I do not think the model it replaced was all that popular so maybe they are gunshy from it. Or it could be still hard to get from Deere for the inventory as it has only been out a few months now.

I made the deal today. My 2320 is scheduled for delivery to dealer on 12-19. All 3 dealers I've spoken with said demand is exceeding the supply, I'm sure the later production date has alot to do with it. Another reason to wish for a short Winter!

Tom,

I have no idea why your dealer won't stock the 2x20 tractors... I agree that the 4010, 4110 & 4115 were slow sellers (to say the least

) but the replacements are just awesome - more tractor, better features, and at a lower price.

My issue is how many Deere will let me stock! Maybe I should tell Deere to let me stock the ones that your dealer doesn't!!!

The lead time for the factory (without paying additional for LTL freight) is currently 02Jan07 for a 2320 w/Turf Tires and 09Jan07 for a 2320 w/R4's. A 2520 w/Turf Tires would be 09Jan07, with R4's would be 23Jan07.

Congrats! Can you share what equipment was traded in and what you're getting? Also what the difference turned out to be dollar wise... ?

Lastly... pics when it arrives tooooo

My 2305 and 3K. My other offers were: $3995 and $4800. Bare tractor, will keep my rotary cutter and my brush guard as it fits the 2320. I'm pleased as I had a great price on my 2305 when I purchased it. Sound okay to you guys?

Sounds like your dealer treated you very well... Enjoy your new machine

I think your right. I know for a while the Kioti CK20's were a little hard to get when the demand peaked. Maybe that's the issue. Or maybe the dealer doesn't wan't to carry the excess stock $$$$=interest. My rebutal would be "how can you sell what the consumer can't physically check out"?
