Yes I would recommend a 12 inch. I have a 10 inch I use on my 2210. I bought it 25 years ago when I bought a 214 JD garden tractor. When they delivered the tractor they brought by mistake the a 12 inch that had been order for another customer. I returned the 12 inch and got the 10 inch witch I have been using. Now that I have the 2210. I wish I had the 12 or maybe a 14 inch.
