I ordered a 2320 in mid-December and it was delivered today. The tractor itself, 200cx FEL, 54" bucket, ballast box and 62D MMM were all in within a week or so of the initial order but the brackets needed to mount the FEL were a no show until this morning.
I had originally ordered a 2305 but decided it might be "just enough" so I went a step up. The 2520 was also in the running but I was already over budget and thought the slightly smaller size of the 2320 would suit my needs better. The superior hydraulics of the 2520 were attractive but not enough to convince me to make the leap. I own just under 5.25 acres that is relatively flat and mostly cleared. The main uses of the tractor will be mowing, leveling/remaining clearing/maintaining the property and (eventually) assisting with taking care of our future horse barn. A PHD and box blade are on the Spring shopping list.
I got to break it in a bit this evening with some light snow clearing duties. We have a 300'-ish drive that is flat with a few gradual turns. The FEL worked better than expected and cleaned things up in short order.
It's too early to say for sure but I do believe that I made the right decision.
