No offense taken kenmac. My dealer did go over the operations & controls with me when I was looking at the tractor. He also told me little was currently known on these models & he only occasionally gets one in. I had a choice of this newer model or a smaller, older 2210D. I knew there wasn't much info avail yet on this model, but that should change. Maybe I'm a ginnie pig on this, but I like the tractor, its power and features and hopefully this group and I can learn together by sharing our experiences. If noone brought the newer models based on lack of info, none of us would learn.
