It looks like the 2320 is comparable to the current 2025r I think. If so and you're looking at the 1025r that would have a smaller footprint so might work nice for what you have in mind. As for the front end loader, there are so many uses for it, I couldn't imagine my scut without it. I use mine a lot, but I'm not you. The guys that have the 1025r's really like them from what I've seen. A guy I work with has a 1023 and he swears by it.

That's quite a downgrade in my opinion. Maybe Ralph will pop in -- he did the opposite and has some good observations about the two machines.

I don't know is you would gain much by downsizing. The turning radius is close on both of them, you will lose a little bit of weight (~200lbs), same horsepower, you can have the same size mower decks. I don't think you are going to gain anything by going down. If you were going to a 700 series mower or 500 series then maybe, 2320 to a 1025R is very close to the same tractor in my eyes. I don't think it would be worth the money.

I don't see the point in trading down and spending money to do it. You would loose the split brakes too. Trading often is money wasted imo.

My 1025r was a lemon. The 2025r is a MUCH more capable tractor. The hydraulic screen is a ***** to get to on the 1025r. I finally just skipped doing it. One on the 2025r is like on the 4010, etc. models, e.g. behind the 3ph bar but easy to get out and back in (after removing a rear wheel and 3ph bar). Don't know why JD still requires screen servicing. Kubota doesn't.

The seat and the PTO startup were better on the 1025r. Seat difference is marginal but better than the 4010's. PTO startup is noticeably very gentle on the 1025r and should be adopted across the board on JDs. The 2025r's PTO startup is almost as abrupt as it was on the 4010 (that likely caused its driveshaft demise).

Again, the 2025r is just lots more capable tractor. FEL action is very sure. 1025r's is very unsure. I'd never want to try dumping a load into my pickup with the 1025r. No problem with the 2025r.
