1. John Deere 2320

The John Deere 2320 is a solid little machine that works well for basic tasks around the farm or property. With its 24.2-horsepower engine, it’s not the most powerful, but it’s enough for things like mowing, light landscaping, and hauling.
That said, if you’re expecting it to handle heavier lifting or long workdays, you might run into some headaches. One of the biggest complaints is the mid-PTO drive shaft — it’s notorious for being a weak link, prone to breaking under pressure, especially when tackling tougher jobs. Even worse, repairs aren’t exactly quick or cheap. Between pricey replacement parts and labor, fixing it can take a bite out of your wallet.
