I was looking for a grass/leaf collection solution for the 2210 and have nearly settled on the Cyclone Rake. I looked at the MC519/powerflow combo, but the dealer wanted $1400 for the unit and they would have to pick up my 2210 to make some modifications to adapt it for use with the improvised JD solution (another $120). I also like the separate engine and options of the Cyclone Rake.
My main concern with the Cyclone Rake was how it would attach to the 2210. The makers of the Cyclone Rake stated they now have an adapter to allow their unit to be attached to the 3-pt. hitch on the 2210 (no extra charge). Apparently I only need to buy the JD boot for the mower deck (62C) for the best fit with their hose, or I could use their generic boot and modify it. Has anyone by chance seen how this setup works? The manufacturer does not have any pics available at this time. Also, does anyone know the price for the deck outlet boot for the 62C? Thanks.
