I currently have a small 5 acre horse farm. I bought a 2320 about a year ago and use it to finish mow around the house and mow the pastures. The horse pasture can be mowed with the mmm as the horses keep it pretty eaten down. In addition to mowing I used the loader to move compost and dirt, nothing too heavy. I also drag my pastures with a chain harrow to break up manure piles.
I find that I like the 2320 and it does everything I need it to do, however, it is cumbersome to mow with as it is a bit too big, and mowing is a large part of what I use it for.
If I had it to do over I probably would have gone with a 1026, but since I didn't my choices are to either trade the 2320 and move down to a 1026, (taking a pretty decent loss on a one year old machine), or buy a small lawn tractor ((x300) to go with the 2320 for mowing around the house. I'm leaning toward trading for the 1026 because I think it will be a nicer machine to sit on while I mow, and because I'd rather only have one machine to maintain, but i'm worried i'll regret getting rid of the bigger machine. Any thoughts or advice?
