2310d v 2420d v 2610d? 3110d?

[t44e6]

Looking to buy a refurbished tractor from a dealer in Aalabama. The primary uses would be moving snow in my driveway and around my house, road maintenance, and light grading / earthmoving. Maybe dragging logs. Looking primarily at 2310d 2420d and 2610d. Not going to be putting a lot of hours on it. The 2610D is sold with a bigger loader and is 3" wider. We got over 7' of snow last year and a bigger loader would be nice. Opinions on ease of service, reliability, parts availability? Should I splurge and just get a 3110d?, and how much of a negative is the power steering on that model?

Thanks!

They are all nice tractors. My favorite out of them all is the 3110D followed closely by the 2610D just based on parts availability & durability. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them though. The 2420 might be a little harder to get parts for. If you depress the diff lock pedal while one tire is spinning, for example, you will likely brake a stub axle shaft that is very hard to get right now.
