Haven't been here much lately: I was browsing the other day and noticed I hadn't mentioned my B2320 for 4 years! Asked all kinds of questions here before buying it, a couple more after purchase & then 'bam', I just used it. So a quick update that might be of interest to those considering a B Kubota.
Bought it 07/2011. B2320 HST, LA364 loader, Landpride 48" bush hog and back blade. Unfilled industrial tires and haul it on an 18' Load Trail car hauler. It sees intermittent but hard use: around my N MI cottage just light grading, loader stuff then hauled 800 miles to NW ONT where I attach the bush hog & thrash through about anything in my path + use the loader to push, lift & move whatever it can't get around. I cut a few miles of trails, scrabbling over rock & through chest high weeds, grass & saplings up to about 3" diameter. I go thru this stuff and cut up & down that rock bluff nearly to my deer blinds:
My findings: great machine! It goes nearly anywhere, works longer than me & I can't think of a single downside. Total 'hiccups' = a bent swing chain when I backed the bush hog into something (with chains too tight), a broken grease zerk (it was loose, check yours!) and the shear bolt vibrating loose using the bush hog. I stopped the whole tractor a couple times 'mowing' boulders with the hog, but no real harm done. I was worried about unloaded tires but for my use, no problem. I carry loads low, slow & dump keeping rock still.
For anybody looking for a good little 'woods tractor', the B2320 is a good one. Neighbor's kids in ONT dig it!
And the hunting up there can be good:
