B2920 in the B series??

[jas67]

The problem with the 3200 is that it is quite a bit larger than the 2320 and still larger than the 2620/2920.

Yes, the 2920 is "larger" than the 2320/2620, but the wheelbase is the same and the difference is in the larger tires.

Weight is the same on the 2620/2920 and everything else is except for the engine and HP.

Anyone find a big difference in using the 2320 compared to a 2620 or 2920? Is there really THAT much difference? Maybe I should just go with the 2320? I do like the idea of the wider tires on the 2620/2920, the heavier duty fel and added ground clearance.

If you look the numbers, there is about 13% difference in power between the 2320 and 2620, and 12% difference between the 2620 and 2920. I doubt that 13% is noticeable.

After reading the specs on the B2920 vs B3200 and the difference in price I think the 3200 is a no brainer. Although the larger backhoe and FEL might seperate them more in price.

I just priced 'em out online. Wow! I'm amazed there is such a small difference in price (approx $500). The LA504 loader that the B3200 is much more capable, both in lift height, and force.

Depends on your needs. If you want something that is on the upper end of the "can be used as a lawn tractor" range then the B2320 or B2620 is the choice. I chose the B2620. My dealer had the B2320, B2620, B2920 and B3200 all lined up in a row. The B3200 is NOTICABLY larger than the 2x20s and feels much larger when moving around in less than wide open lots. Good Luck! Enjoy the hunt! Post pictures of your choice

Just wanted to add a few more comments. I had to stop at my dealer to pick up some pallet forks and the dealer had 2 3200's out back. One was prepped for customer pick-up, the other was just equipped with the loader. Once I climbed on the first thing I noticed between the 2 was the lack of operator room on the 3200. I also noticed the ability to move more dirt (bigger bucket). It felt narrow compared to the 2x20, even with the seat all the way back. The machine was bigger, and as the dealer said it's really a 7800 in drag (his words not mine).
If you are looking at a machine that big why not look at the 2630? My dealer mentioned it seems to be the one machine people keep!

I like this idea(2630) -plus you know you will get a smooth running 3 cylinder engine.

Phyxer - Since you saw all 4 lined up, which is probably going to be impossible for me to do, and you say the 3200 is noticeably larger, which I noticed also in looking at a 2320 and the 3200, what about the 2320/2620/2920?

Based on the specs, looks like the 2920 is larger only because of larger tires. I would think it would feel and act the same as the 2320 and the 2620 when sitting on it and looking at it...

Can you elaborate more on the line up when you saw them all together?

..... wish I had a dealer like that here....

The 2620 and 2920 have the same size tires. You're going to pay substantially more for a 2630 then the 2620 to get the deluxe features. By the time you do that, you'll be itching for the B3030 cab. Don't ask me how I know...

 

[phyxer]

The 2620 and 2920 are the same size as near as I remember. The 2320 was only slightly smaller. I agree with the others that the 2620 is the pick of the 2x20 litter. Good Luck!

I have the B2920 and have been enjoying using it. It was right at the limit of what I could afford. I've also found that sometimes, it's good to not be so, well, big. My B2920 fits into my garage with the ropes up, and I've recently opened up a vary narrow overground road back to a very small gravel pit. Having a small tractor that I can get into some tight places, yet has the HP that I need to get the jobs done has proven to be a very good fit, for me.
