Strengths Very well made, Modern styling, Vibration free isolated engine mounts, Deere Imatch Quick hitch works great, Foldable ROPS, 0 percent finance was great, Real 2 brake system, Differential lock, 4WD is beautiful, trust me on this one, Power steering smooth and effortless
Weaknesses None
Overall 1st tractor purchase for me and I was hoping the 2320 would be able to move some dirt and perform loader tasks. WOW, it does EVERYTHING I ask it to and never seems to be lacking power or ability to lift full buckets of anything. I use it for 90 percent of the time for loader work and some blade grading. I have a very hilly property and this thing is like a billy goat, goes where needed and very stable . Make sure to purchase the matching weight bucket for the rear as it is the perfect match for heavy loads and makes it much safer even with loaded tires. The R4 tires work just great. The 2320 was a perfect match for my property and budget. A bigger tractor would not have been able to perform on my property so BIGGER is not always better. Very well built machine with nice features and design. The 2320 is not one of those (ECONOMY) tractors it is the real deal.

Price Paid : $17,000.00
Years of Use : 180-Days
Implements : 54" drive over mower deck, front end loader, snowblower
Purchased From : Troxel John Deere, Indiana
Strengths Plenty of Plenty of power
Plenty of power, FEL works like a dream, front end snowblower blows snow better than any blade, drive over deck has a beautiful cut: there are plenty of attachments which are easy to put on and take off, highest quality utility tractor on the market. The hydrostatic drive is very responsive and doesn't have the annoying push button to get the tractor to go into reverse (like my LT 155 JD lawn tractor).
Weaknesses transmission is loud and whiney, the dealer added a fuel surcharge to the drive over deck which was already priced plenty high
Overall I am very pleased with this tractor, It has exceeded my expectations for a small utility tractor. It can do it all with the wide array of attachments from John Deere. It has plenty of power for my 5 acre wooded acres. I mow, blow snow out of my 800 foot paved driveway, and move wood and dirt around on my property.

Price Paid : $18,700.00
Years of Use : 180-Days
Implements : 200 cx FEL, 62"MMM, collection system
Purchased From :
Strengths Have a little over 6 acres to take care of and this tractor does it with ease. Big step up from my old 265 Deere but worth every penny. FEL saves a lot of time and back pain. Very manuverable tractor for its size. Has plenty of power but would agree that Hi-range if really only good for travel on roads.
Weaknesses Haven't found any so far.
Overall For my needs this is the ideal size tractor. Think I would have been dissapointed with the 2305.

Price Paid : $17,500.00
Years of Use : 180-Days
Implements : FEL, MMM, 4' Cutter, Grass Collection System
Purchased From :
Strengths Strong little tractor. It runs smooth with enouhg power for my 5 acre lot. Shifts smoothly, controls are easy to use and accessible. Front end loader is relatively quick to respond. Has good traction, even in 2WD. 0% financing was nice!
Weaknesses Transmission whines a bit, hard to get in to the seat from the right side due to bucket lever, rough ride, but hey its a tractor.
Overall I bought it to be able to both cut about 4 acres of field and mow my 1 acre lawn around my house - it does both flawlessly. Plenty of power and, with turf tires, is easy on my lawn. Next is to but a backhoe on it for landscaping my 5 acre building lot.

Price Paid : $0.00
Years of Use : 1-year
Implements : FEL, 54" MMM, 4 ft Rotary, Chipper
Purchased From : Deere Country
Strengths 3 cyl Yanmar is smooth and quiet Loader very easy to remove. Hydostatic Trans is great for mowing uneven terrain and grass density. Use the FEL tilt hydro lines to lift mid mower - this is a great feature and easy to switch back and forth. Plenty of power for my jobs. Standard independent mid and rear PTO's (or both simultaneously) is really nice. 4WD very useful when tractor "high-centers" (easy to do with MMM on our very uneven ground). Folding ROPS is very handy for mowing around trees.
Weaknesses A little difficult on and off. High range is too high for farm work, even for easy mowing job. 3-pt hitch doesn't raise rotary mower high enough (may be just an adjustment problem). Rough ground causes rough ride (very stiff suspension).
Overall This is a real tractor, not just a glorified lawn mower like some its size. It will do real work and a lot of it. Great fit and finish. Easy to operate and service. 54" MMM does a beautiful finish mowing job, and does so very quickly. Extremely pleased with overall performance, and it looks good doing it. Well worth the money.

Implements : FEL, MMM w/catcher system, 5 ft tiller
Purchased From : Lennon Imp, Woodburn, Or
Strengths I also debated between the 2305 and 2320. In test driving the 2320 was able to maintain speed or speed up and also use the FEL at the same time. The 2305 tended to slow down when actuating the FEL on the go. Also the MMM drive over for installing or uninstalling was a good point and makes hook up quick and easy.
Weaknesses 3 pt hitch, but a quick hitch would solve that
Overall I am a 4 farm facilities coorodinator. In wheel tractors alone we have 43, ranging from 20hp to 100hp and different makes. After 5 minutes of a test drive of the 2320 I was sold. The folding ROPS is a plus also. I bought this for my 1 acre.

Implements : 200 CX FEL, 62" MMM, 5' BB
Purchased From : Cross Brothers
Strengths Ergonomics are good. It fit both me & my wife. It turns a lot tighter than expected for a tractor of this size. It's a mowing machine. It has cut our mowing time down by almost 1 hour from our 50" Cub Cadet. Attachment connect easily & quickly.
Weaknesses It difficult to get in from the right side due to the FEL sitck. Awkward fuel filler location.
Overall Great machine so far. I debated between the 2305 & the 2320 & I have no regrets on spending the extra money for the 2320. I even think I would have regretted buy the smaller 2305. For mowing 2 acres, moving dirt, & leveling ground it's been great.
