Hello all TBN'ers

I purchased a JD 2320 with fel,MMM,BB about a month ago.. I have 2acres of land 1acre my mom and dads and the other is mine.. also have a farm.. Im on a little hilly terrain but not really bad some Trees on my mom and dads and tons on my acre all of these are goin to be cut down in the future might leave a few.. Well anyway I asked my neighbor if i could test his NEw holland TC31DA out and let me tell yea Im a deere fan, but dam this is alot nicer tractor i know yea really cant compare the TC31da to my 2320 but Im highly thinking of upgrading to the TC31DA anyone have experience with this beast of a compact tractor????

also if i do get the NEw Holland Im going to get a woods finish mower,box blade,forks,and quick hitch.. my question is will the JD ballast box work with woods quick hitch?? i think it would

I have a TC31 and I do not have any complaints. I use a 90 inch finish mower behind mine and it doesn't seem to have any issues with it. (See my pictures in the New Holland section) Not as good of a cut as my scag but I can cover some acerage.

I know some models have more capacity on the FEL but I have no compliants. After the windstorm last month I lifted a huge trunk of a red maple. It was about 40 inches in diameter and 3 feet logged. I actually chained it into the bucket. The tractor was a little lite on its feet but the FEL had no issues raising it.

I really do not see how any other color can be better than my blue.

I have a TC29DA which was "tweaked" to become the TC31DA. I am very happy with its performance and I have had no problems with it so far

. Even with loaded rear R-1's and carrying a heavy rear attachment it does seem a "little light of foot" at times with heavy FEL work. Jay

nice i was hoping for some good replys form owners.. I had a JD quick attach ballast box that i think will work on the woods quickatach system so i think im ok with the loader while lifting heavy loads

I used my to build this bonfire after a bad wind storm. It took my father-in-law and myself about 8 hours. (I do not know how we would have done it without a tractor) We would drag the whole tree, using the tractor, upto the pile. At this point we would cut it and throw/load it onto the bonfire. I put a yellow box around the one piece of wood that I was amazed the loader could handle.
