Bought a 2300!

caseyd · Apr 1, 2005

I am new to this board, and like many people that are in the market for a compact tractor, I did a lot of research and checked out and compared all the other brands (JD, CC, NH, Kubota etc.)

The 2300 seemed the best, especially for the price. Never thought I would end up buying a Massey, I am glad I did. The dealer neaby has been carrying them for over 40 years. I am getting it with a FEL & 60" MMM. I think this machine will work well on our 5 acres, especially during the construction phase of our home.

I do not know anyone that owns a 2300. Overall, how do they perform? Is everyone pretty satisfied with this machine?

Great choice on the 2300. I love mine. Although, it is less than 10 days old so I guess I will have to test it more. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Congratulations, caseyd! I'm finding more and more uses for mine all the time. With all the rain/snow we're getting this weekend and all the blasted honeysuckle we want to pull, it looks like I'll transition smoothly from snow clearing to spring cleaning! Have fun with your new tractor!

I'm a new 2300 owner also, so far so good, wondering how it will do mowing my yard which is all HILL. By the way, I too did alot of research, and Massey had Kubota beat hands down!!

I'm new to the board also! I am looking @ a 2300 with BH, Finish mower deck and FEL. If I may be so bold to ask what you paid. I was quoted 18,500.00 befor tax,delivery etc...

What do you think??

But still not worth over 3000 bucks more than a BX23.
