Sorry, accidentally clicked post....
Anyway...
There are a few things that I wish I could change. The lack of hydrolic position control is a little bit of a pain. If I were a landscaper using rear attachements all day long I would want to buy a tractor with position control or find out if I could pay to put a postition control valve on the B2_20. I am not so I can get by with the 1/4 inching valve. The tractor is also slightly noisier than I would have liked but still not bad. Last of all, when I went to drain the oil during the 50 hour service I found the drain plug to be hidden under a loader/mower bracket. You can still get to it but the oil has to spill out onto the bracket when draining. It just made an extra mess. With all that said, all of these issues are very minor to me and I would buy me B2320 again in a heartbeat and would recommend it to anyone. On the other hand, if I was going to be using it for more dirtwork/pasture mowing (tractor stuff) I would want to go to a B3030 or something similar. It just seems to me that the tractor/loader is a little to small if you are going to be using it more for tractor work.
As for tipping, I went from a riding lawn mower to this tractor. When I first started using it I felt really uncomfortable and felt like it was going to tip over on me all the time. It does get pretty tippy if I have the loader on. Now that I have used it for a while I feel completely comfortable on it, especially without the loader. Keep in mind that I didn't fill the tires to keep the weight down on my new lawn and keep the trailer weight down. I have also not inverted my wheels.
One thing I would recommend is getting arm rests put on the seat. I really like having them and they give me the sense that I have more stability and shift less in the seat. The tractor doesn't come with them but it has the mounts for them. My dealer had a spare set lying around and put some on for free for me. Just a thought.
Well, sorry for rambling on, but I thought someone might find my ramblings useful. Once again, I would buy this tractor again in a minute so far. |
