Perfect size for me
Model Year: 2009
I needed a new mower and also wanted a tractor for all my projects around my property. The Sc2400 seemed to be big enough to really make a difference without being so big that maneuverability suffered. With the 60" MMM, it turns shorter than my previous CC 2165 and the FEL makes life so much easier for a number of jobs. I've pulled a few stumps (small, around 3" or so) with this tractor and it worked really well. I didn't think it would work at all due to the size, but it didn't even strain. I was impressed. The mower is perfect and the precise 3ph control means I can set the height of my yard and forget about it. I've used this tractor for anything and everything around my property and it's worked well in all instances. I use the tractor to clear our 300' driveway in the winter as well as clearing brush, hauling wood, grading dirt/gravel, and, of course, mowing my yard. My wife's uncle has a JD 2305 and, while similar, I prefer my Sc2400 over the JD 2305 if for no other reason that the operator station and controls layout. I seriously considered the Kubota BX2360 because the specs are so close to the Sc2400, but the price was the deciding factor.
Pros: A ton of power. Lower cost than orange or green. Loader has good capacity. Shift on the fly is hanider than I orginally thought.
Cons: Mower isn't the drive over type so it kind of sucks to put on and take off. My dealer doesn't carry basic maintenance parts for it.
