B2320 vs 2301

[Jtryan]

Would it be worth upgrading from a b2320 to a b2301?
In saying that I would need to buy a new mowing deck because mine wouldn't fit the 2301

They have a promo going on with 0% 84 months and 6 year warranty
I'd have to dish out an extra 2k to make deal happen.

When i bought my 2320 a year ago it was a debate between the two and I kind of wish I got the 2301

I thought about doing the same (but with my B2620 to B2601), but then realized mine is paid for and does everything I need it to do.
I don't REALLY need ss qa for the loader as I rarely use my bucket mount forks.
I thought I wanted position control but am now used to grading with my quarter inching.
I like the left side brakes better on the new model, but wouldn't want to give up the nice modulated PTO control with my clutch pedal.
And I like the simplicity of the B20 series and no steering cylinders on the front axle.

So all depends if you NEED those features like position control, ss qa and left side brakes.....and if you want to spend more money to have it.

I'll keep this one and just use my money to buy it a bigger brother down the road, LOL.

I looked at a B2920 and really wanted it, but couldn't handle the quarter inching 3PH and a few other things the B2601 has, so I can see buying one over the other, but I don't think I would be willing to take the financial hit of trading a B2620 in for a B2601.

My dealer wanted to give me $16,000 for my B and the new B2601 with loader and mower would have been 20 to 21 by the time you put the tax on.

I couldn't see spending that much for what little there is to gain. I'd rather save my money over the next couple years and buy a second tractor.

Ya, worst thing for me is I had the choice when I bought mine and dealer told me there wasn't much difference between the two and price was 2500 difference! I should have tried both before buying

Agreed, I'd gladly pay extra for tilt steering wheel, left foot braking, no clutch, extendable stabilizer bars and position control 3PH.
