Another 2305 vs 2320 question

[JDFANATIC]

Ralph,

Just so glad you brought up this point . . . today I was brush-hogging with my 2210. The terrain was uneven, the conditions tough, but the branches of my MORE than 14 pto hp machine easily chewed into regrind . . . but there was a trade-off, and it would soon lead to disaster . . . and what do you suppose it was? Not the $! Not the 3PH lift! Not the plastic cooling fan! And not even the cupholder, stocked with the biggest gulp you have ever seen, no, it was the valve stem! Who would have guessed? Yes, 110 lbs of RimGuard scattered over an acre and a half. Beetjuice, who would have guessed?

I think this post shows a difference, in most cases, between a CUT and a SCUT. Most CUTs have stem guards welded on the rim. Most SCUTs do not.

If you have to go into very uneven terrain or go brush hogging into heavy brush, you should go with the extra ground clearance on the 2320 and not have a plastic cooling fan down below.

For me, it was a no brainer when I looked at a 2210 and a 4010. The 4010 was actually $300 less, and I needed the ground clearance and full Cat. 1 capability. Both took the same attachments, because they are essentially both the same weight and width. The 4010 would lift more in front and in the back though.

For the 2305 and 2320, there is no hp difference either.

Does the 2320 have 3 ph position control, or is this only on the 2520? That would be a plus over the 2305.

You're too much with this 2210 vs 4010 feud - LOL

I seriously doubt the 4010 had any advantage over the 2210 in lifting ability -keeping in mind the 4010 did not have the flow rate or PSI rate of its bigger brothers (4110 & 4115) - I could be wrong but I have easy access to a 4010, and it was not up to 4100 -4110 speed or strength. I would say its still a great machine and is equal with the 2210 in hydrolic ability. It has an height advantage - I forget if it had position control
2320 has position control and so does the 2520. The 2305 & 2320 use the same engine - so no HP difference but it has plenty of power.

Hey JDFanatic
Lost the valve stem on my 2305 last Saturday pushing a brush pile.

How did you get the bush-hogging finished with the tractor down? Was Jack at FVE able to loan you a 4010 to complete the task? LOL

JD,

The subject never came up (he did want me to take the 3720 cab tractor home though)

circlelake,

Were your tires loaded?

Now with the high output 14 PTO hp - I think if you took off all the hood components, seat (since you wont need the whole seat, only the edge) rops, a string on the governor, keep it in neutral down a hill you might be able to get one revolution on the brush hog, and knock over a blade of grass....and call it a day LOL

Duc,

Excellent point. With all that has gone on in this country financially, I'm surprised Deere is still offering 0%/3yrs.

Is it reasonable to assume that the Deere 0% financing for 3 years will continue at least through the rest of the Winter? I've been trying to talk my wife into letting me buy a 2210/2305 for the past 2 years. She seems fixated on spending our funds to finish the house so we can move out of the dungeon, as she calls it. Go figure.

Assume nothing lasts - who would want to loan money and not make any in return? especially when the Fed keeps raising it?
