Good morning TBN users. I am new to this forum and just wanted to send out a thank you to all of the users who have posted information on here about their experiences with the various tractors. We just bought a used 2320 with 36 hours. It was originally bought about 4 months ago so it still has the majority of the warranty intact. We did have to order the 200cx loader for it but this tractor already had the brackets. The previous owner upgraded but kept his loader. I think we got a pretty good deal on this. It was about $1500 less than a brand new. One feature that this tractor has that I did not find anyone dicussing is a valve that uses the FEL controls to raise and lower the mower deck. I was kind of iffy about this but it does not appear that it will hinder anything.
This tractor was bought through my company and I pretty much spearheaded the search. We are going to use it for mowing (about 6-7 acres in three different locations), maintaining our stock yard (clean up ruts caused by forklifts), spreading gravel, hauling mulch, and just about anything else we can find to use it for.
I used to personally own a Kubota BX2200 w/ 60" MMM, FEL, and Howse rotary cutter. I was able to do just about anything I had the need for with it but, being a sub-cut it liked to get tipsy. The bucket on that also seemed to hold about the same capacity as a large wheelbarrow.
I decided to go with the 2320 mainly due to the larger frame than a sub-cut and the larger capacity of the loader. The full cat-1 3pt. also had a little impact. Being a business tractor, safety was a big concern and the stabilty of this over the sub-cut was uncomparable.
I will provide some more updates after we get some usage out of this tractor but again, thank you to everyone who input on this forum. You gave me a lot of ideas of things to look for and to look out for.

I had the 2320 for a few weeks decided the 2520 was a better fit for me and returned the 2320. No worries - nothing was wrong with the machine
