My Initial 2320 Report

[Gizmo2]

Tractor 2320
Cons
4WD lever is too short and needs a bend in it for easier access and use
Transmission/Hydraulics filler tube should be larger and slightly higher
The need to remove pins from rockshaft arms to remove 3-point hitch
Not near as heavy duty as my 650

Pros
Lots of power
Traction, loader work with backhoe installed almost negates the need for 4WD
Quiet engine
Ease of steering, the same with or without a load in the FEL bucket
Hydrostatic transmission


Backhoe #46
Cons
Shorter boom, by 12-inches compared to my 650

Pros
Shorter boom has more ground clearance when in transport position and does not drag on the ground when crossing ditches and navigating inclines like the #7 hoe on the 650 did


Front End Loader 200CX
Cons
Mounting seems weak, compared to my 650
Loader on the 650 had two mounting points on either side of tractor, much stronger.
Parking stand is a joke, compared to my 650

Pros
Lift capacity, compared to my 650
Joystick control
Grease fittings, big improvement


I do like the tractor and it is new!

Mine has turned out to be a great companion for the 5203. Only thing I don't like about it is that with the MMM the vents in the hood and the radiator screens get clogged really easy. I wish this tractor had a heat gauge rather than an idot light. Anyway, had some discussion on this a while back. some posters said the heating/radiator clogging was not an issue for them while a couple said that installing the mulch kit on the mmm took care of the issue.

Glad you like your machine.

Agree with unreconstructed 100 % on the clogging and temperature gauge items. Also agree with the short 4WD lever.
