kv,
The 2320 is positioned between the 2305 and 2520 and is NOT an advantage series tractor. I has the same power as the 2305, but driving taller wheels and carrying more weight, certain tasks with it can require low-range whereas the 2305 might get by in high-range. The ranges are different than on the 2305 though. High-range really scoots along probably 4-5 mph faster than the 2305. Low-range is also different, but not as fast as say high-range in the 2305. If you are mowing slopes, this might be a factor. The hydraulics on the 2320 are about 1/2 a gpm more than the 2305, so there is some improvement in responsiveness, though not nearly that of the 2520. The 2320 is slightly larger and that may be a factor for your intended uses.
As you already know, the 2320 has no hydro cooling fan and instead uses a transmission cooler. The hydrostatic filter is also positioned much higher and less prone to accidental damage. You can also get the drive-over MMM.

hey kv im wondering why you are getting a 2320? didn't you just purchase your 2305. As for tips i personally was thinks if you are going to upgrade to a 2320 i would maybe go for the 2520 personally because of for a little more money you get so much more. because if you do get a 2320 and you may even want to upgrade after that so i mean theres alot of stuff that is a little more "beefier" on the 2520. Like Chris2520 says. everybody needs a backhoe.

You get exactly the same ground clearance, same 3pt hitch capacity, same loader, you get somewhat faster hydraulics, a large tranny hump in the operators station and about 2 more hp for around $2500 more. If you must run a 72" MMM that you cannot drive over then you need a 2520.

I am pushing 100 hours on my 2320 and it has done all that I have asked it to do. It has a good lift capacity on the FEL (don't know the weight but a heaping 53 inch bucket of mud was no problem lifting to full height). That was an experiment I transport loads as low to the ground as possible. The position control on the 3 point is also very useful.
The hydraulic cycle time is a bit slower than on the 2520 but has not been a problem for me so far. That might be because I'm pretty inexperienced with tractors. The FEL is quick enough that I did move more than 60 tons of rock in well less than a day.
The tractor is very easy on fuel and so far has been trouble free. A toothbar increased the FEL digging efficiency a lot that accessory is something I really recommend regardless of what color tractor you buy.
My 2320 fits my needs to a "T" but what I recommend is that you take some time, visit a few different dealers and sit on the different tractors to see how the controls feel. If you are going to be using your tractor a lot the ergonomics are important. The dealer relationship is pretty important to. I still call mine, mostly with questions I'm too embarrassed to ask here
Good luck

I have about 140 hours on mine and all have been trouble free. One advantage of the 2320 over the 2520 is that if you got the BH and drive over deck, you do not need to remove any more than just the deck to attach the backhoe. That was huge for us. In 15 minutes and probably less you can swap those two attachments. Take me longer to take the 3pt on and off than swapping the deck and BH. I find it to be an all around great machine for both mowing, snow removal, BH work and a little box blade work. If your needs are like mine you should be happy.
