Morning Gentlemen,
I started this post on an ongoing thread, but I think it is perhaps more appropriate to start a new thread.
I am about to go from a JD 2210 (newer mdl is 1023E) Green to another color. I love my 2210 and for the most part has done and more than what was needed though the "after glow" is now gone; the local service/support has deteriorated to the point I need to get another tractor/dealer, and perhaps you all can help in that process.
I bought the 2210 in 2004 and I'm sure models, technology and features have significantly changed, but my needs/requirements have not.
Terrain and Use: I have 4 acres and my terrain is hilly with steep slopes, plenty of trees to go around, and a fair amount of mulch/dirt landscaping needs, and snow plowing.
The front lawn and other areas of the property are steep enough that I need to wait for the morning dew to burn off before mowing/working on it or I take the chance of sliding or spinning the wheels, (even with the industrial tires, 4wd, in lo gear!) I really need a SCUT as any machine much larger would be a bit dangerous on my property for maneuverability and tight spaces. The JD2210 certainly did the job with care, though in only 600 hours it thru a bearing in the HST which cost me a bundle.
The 2210 came with foam filled industrial tires to lower the center of gravity and provide more front weight, FEL, 54" MMM, 56" front blade all of which I use depending on the season, and I would like to get the same attachments on my new different color machine.
So far in wading through my SCUT choices, and with the help of some forum members, it seems my selections are few. But perhaps we are missing something.
I am not looking at Kubota's.
Basic Requirements for New Machine:
SCUT
FEL
MMM
Front Blade w/ squeegee
Industrial Tire
So gentlemen, any help in selecting a new SCUT would be very much appreciated as it will be another big investment. Will sell the 2210 and attachments after I get the new machine.
