New T2320

[peterssj4034]

I wanted to upgrade my NH TZ24DA to something in the 45hp range, with a loader. I compared a number of other brands, but ultimately came back to the NH 3045. The dealer I was working with found a T2320 with a 250TL loader (the same loader as on the 3045) in North Carolina with 7 hours on it. So it was essentially brand new, and a little cheaper since it was the 2008 model (I think I have the NH model year right, I can't keep up with the numbering changes).

Anyway, it arrived today...I hated to see the little TZ24DA go, but I needed the added size and hp for future projects. I also wanted to reduce my mowing time, so I got an 84" Bush Hog brand rear finish mower. I had a 60" MMM on the other tractor.

Attached are a few pictures of when the tractor arrived at the dealer, and as it is parked in my garage tonight. This weekend I am starting the 20x20 shed that will be its new home.

Congrats on your new T2320, or should I say TC-45, or perhaps Boomer 3045(the lastest model number).
I was set to buy a 3045, but actually bought a 3060.
Looks like you have a SST or perhaps an EHSST and R-4 tires....
I have owned a Ford 1520 for 20 years and the machine was just perfect, with only routine maintanence.
I needed a bigger machine and how could I not buy a Ford (now NH).
I believe the NH is a stouter tractor than the MF or JD counterpart and they are priced right.
I am sure you will be pleased with this tractor for years and years to come!
Good move to keep it out of the weather. Your machine will look like new for a long time!
Congrats , again

Johno Geo.

Thanks Johno Geo,

Funny thing is, the frame where just above the step onto the operators platform is stamped TC45 (or TD, can't remember which). Made me smile when I first saw it. I do have the SST, which I will take a little getting used to after having a HST on the other tractor.

congratulations they are so pretty when their new , what other toys or attachments will you be getting?

I'm going to get an 8 foot brush hog and a 7 foot box blade, along with a 7 foot rear blade. I used it for four hours this weekend digging post holes for my small barn project,a nd it worked really well. Very impressed to this point.

Attached are a few more pictures using it to move dirt from an area I had excavated for a 20x20 shed, and using it to drill post holes.

The ground is comprised of very, very compacted clay. My weight was not nearly enough to get the PHD to work correctly, we had to add pressure with the mini-excavator on site.

I have the same model only HST. Great tractor, in the two years I have owned it, no problems and continues to exceed my expectations. I put a grapple on the front of mine, and have not used the bucket since. Enjoy your new tractor!!

I need to get a sunshade/canopy for it. I should have done that initially, but didn't think of it.

Yes, I would definitely recommend the sunshade! Much more cool in the Summer and no "sun in the eyes".
