I just bought a 2010 and did a little work to it . I love it ! It runs great and for light use around my 5 acres I am sure it will last me a life time.

There's an old saying about JD 2010 tractors that goes like this: One can't tear up a "GOOD 2010" & can't repair a "BAD 2010". Enjoy yours until it turns bad!!!!!!!!!!!

I know this an old thread, but I have been looking for a small farm tractor. My cousin, a retired farmer who bleeds Greene and collects JD tractors, told me "don't even think about a 1010 or 2010!" His lifetime of wisdom is good enough for me!

And Will_C, this new member already bought the 2010, so for non-Deere member to chime in with "no help"... let's just try to help him.

Thank You ! I LOVE My 2010 I am not sure by some of the comment if I am supposed to or not . Everything works the front loader picked up two big ash trees that I cut down yesterday . The pto spun that bush hog just fine. Everything works and there are not strange noises. She starts right up every time . I put a new seat , a paint job on her, repacked the hydraulic rams, fixed a fuel leak, tightened a couple bolts in the shifter and now all gears work shifts easy. I know I am blessed only because The Lord Is Good ! maybe this is just an example of that.

I guess I bought one of the "GOOD" 2010's I did some research before I bought it and I read more positive reports from people who own them than negative . I am aware that the tractor had a bad reputation I am just trying to discover why ?

Ask and yea shall receive:
2010 brakes weren't very good when they rolled NEW off the assembly line and age didn't help them. Hyd filter can be difficult to clean & expensive to replace(AT21513 Filter Element ELEMENT ,OIL FILTER ADD 163.31 USD) .PTO engagement is unique and normally noisy as it engages a mechanism know for wearing out & a clutch plate simultaneously,hyd rockshafts have a long history of leakage and the control linkage on the inside resembles an "erector set". Hyp pump is located in the bottom of the clutch housing and is very difficult to R&R. Engine have an expensive deck plate with cylinder liners attached and lastly 1010/2010 diesel engines were known for hard starting,excessive smoking and prone for cyl head cracking and pre-combustion chambers getting loose. Because of limited yrs of production new & used parts are scarce for them.
I hope your 2010 is one of the better ones,Jim

Good luck bud. I would have preferred to heard you had purchased a Massey 265 instead of a Deere 2010.
