Hi all,

I have had my B2320 for about 3 months now and really like it. Here is what I bought.

B2320 HST
60 inch MMM
FEL
54 Inch landpride box scraper
Quick 3-pt Hitch

Here is my take and I hope someone can find it useful.

So far the tractor has run great. I just finished doing my 50 service and have not had a single problem other than a small adjustment to the hydrolics (dealer mistake, not a problem with the tractor). It did start getting hot on me once while I was mowing pasture because grass was getting sucked into the front screen (outside screen on the body). I thought it started to get warm rather easy, but after swiping my hand over the screen to wipe it off, the temp slided down immediately. I don't mow pasture very often at all so it isn't a big deal, but if you do, keep an eye on the temp gauge. I mostly use mine for mowing my yard but just finished building a new house so I have been using it to move dirt with the box scraper and using the loader to backfill around the house. I have been really happy with the quality of the mower. It cuts very nice as long as the grass isn't wet at all. If the grass moist then the tires can smash the grass down so it doesn't cut well. No slam on my Kubota because every tractor is going to do this and can probably only be fixed by getting a ZTR or something similar.
Attachments come off amazingly easy. I can have the mower deck on/off in less than 3 minutes and the same goes for the FEL. The design was very well thought out. I have also been really impressed with the amount of dirt I have been able to move in my new yard. It has enough power for my 54 inch box scraper but if you were going to do mostly loader/dirt work, I would want the 2620/2920. As I said, my primary purpose will be mowing after I get done with my new landscaping so the 2320 is going to be more than enough for me.

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.

Hi I recently upgraded from a sub new holland TZ 25da to a Kubota 2620. I couldnt be happier. I also have 3 acres 2.25 open .75 wooded. Some of my property is also hilly and there is no issue w/ it being tipsy so far, of course I am careful and go up and down the hills as opposed to sideways. I also have the rears loaded w/ Rim guard which adds roughly 350 to 400 lbs of added weight to the back.

You mention you are interested in the MMM. I also got the MMM cut w/ it for 10 minutes and asked to return it. Cut was very good but on the hilly areas I didnt feel comfortable and I dont want to take the loader off everytime I mow. The dealer who was great (thanks Kevin from Emerichs sales and Service) took it back full price and I purchased a 0 turn which I absolutly love. I also highly reccomend the B over the bx as mentioned above 2 totally different machines in one being a SCUT and the other a CUT. Good Luck!!!!
