Hi gang, wasn't sure which forum to post this in because I built the soil strainer a few months ago and just got an early Fathers day present (the load handler). I build the strainer to filter topsoil and decided to try it out with gravel getting out the 2" + rocks. I wanted to lay down a...

Hey gang I need some input here. My neighbor just got his hands on an older JD model 494a planter. It didn't have the hydraulic cylinder needed to raise and lower the wheels. They want to pull it behind their pickups and asked me about using a electric cylinder to do this. I don't know squat...

Hey gang I have a country lawn....(read lots of clover) and I want to try to control the dandelions. What can I spray that will kill the dandelions but leave the clover alone? TIA

Hi gang, I have been looking at the Deere 46 backhoe and the woods model that fits my 4110. I am wondering if anyone here has experience with both models to help me compare. I see that Deere is rated a little higher in capacity and the sales guy claims the hydraulics are alot smooter than...

JD 54\" bucket cubic yard capacity Hi everyone, I thought that I remember seeing some place that the cubic yard capacity was 1/3 of a yard. Do any of you know if this is true?

Well I had a old dead tree with about a 24" girth that I cut down. The root ball and stump that is left I can't pick up with my JD 4110. I have dug down so that I can push what is left into a hole and I should have almost 3' of soil on top of it. We plan on planting 2 Quaking Aspens that we...

Well I finally got my accessory lighting installed and had some time to work after dark last night. I needed to use the 48" KK XB box blade to drag some dirt to fill some low spots. I was surprised to see that I could drag that box blade with it full and material spilling out over the sides...

Hi gang, got out of work early today and had a chance to check all the fluid levels, grease fittings and hardware. Dealer had it all set but I always double check. Her she is waiting to work Check the link below to see the pics of some of the slopes I have to deal with here. I have to...

Just picked up my manuals for the loader and 4110 tractor. For the 2210 I thought the warranty for everything was 24 months. I see in my 4110 manual that it has a powertrain warranty that goes to 36 months. Is this something new or did I just not read my 2210 warranty correctly?

Well I did it. Signed the papers during lunch today. I am keeping all the implements I had for the 2210 and using them with the 4110. I did get the 200CX loader, tires filled, 5 suit case weights, Power Beyond and folding rops. I might get the 48" frontier BB also since deere is offering...

Hey gang, I am finishing working up the final details with my dealer for the 4110. I want to have rear hydraulics and be able to control the rears while still using the bucket. My salesman hasn't sold a set up like this on the 4110 and he is checking to see what I need. Have any of you done...

Hey gang, trying to find out the lift capacity of the 200CX loader on the 4110 tractor? Looked all over the deere site and didn't come up with any info. Would apprecitate some info if you guys have it. TIA....

Hi gang, just wanted to let everyone know how well I have been treated by my JD dealer in Mason Michigan. I have bought 3 new JD tractors from them and in every case I have found the service and sales to be great. They have always come to my home to make repairs when possible and picked up...

Evening guys and gals. I finally got around to starting on guage wheels for the land scape rake. I have over 4 acres to rake the rocks out of and level for planting trees and pheasant forever mix over the next weekend. I welded some 2 1/2 x 3/16ths' tubing to the rake to make a receivers for...

I finally got around to doing something about a stand this weekend guys and gals. I have lots of lumber left over after building the shop and home. Steel is expensive so I used it instead. Works great. The top 2x sits between the two uprights and when the PHD is hooked up and lifted you just...

After doing my research on tillers that would work with my JD2210 I am leaning toward Ken's line. However I have gotten 2 private emails so far from the same person. In his first post he typed "Just remember that Chain breakage is the #1 failure in a chain drive tiller". The second private...

Hi guys...getting ready to buy a 48" tiller and am looking at Ken Sweets line and also at TSC. Ken's shipping is very resonable and comes in competitive for what TSC wants. I just wished I could get my hands on one to look at. Any of you have the First Choice brand that Ken carries?

I posted this also in the attachment forum. I know that some were wondering if the standard SpeeCo PHD would work on the JD 2210. I finally had time Friday to put it together and try it. I had to use the farthest hole and got 6" of clearance. I also found a spot that had not frozen to bad and...

I know that some were wondering if the standard SpeeCo PHD would work on the JD 2210. I finally had time Friday to put it together and try it. I had to use the farthest hole and got 6" of clearance. I also found a spot that had not frozen to bad and was able to dig a 12" hole in about 5...

As the subject line says I picked one up at TSC on Saturday. Haven't had time to install it yet. We have over 200 saplings to plant as soon as the weather breaks and I hope this will save me back. . I will post some pics as soon as I have a chance. LInk to SpeeCo web site

I see where 2210 guy asked for information about this and also a response to look at page 2. I can't seem to find this and a search isn't bringing what I need up. Has anyone done this yet. I want to add a dual circuit to the rear. Also want to add one to the front to operate a grapple I am...

Wife and I are having a Carrier Infinity furnace and A/C installed in our new log home next month. I was curious to know if anyone on the board owns one of these and what they think about it.

Anyone know of a cleanable air filter for the 2210? Construction at my new home is very dusty and I have replaced the filter once a month at $16.50/filter. I was hoping there would be a foam type sleve that would go over the original JD filter. Thanks guys

I posted awhile back about the log home the wife are I are having built. Today the stone is being brought in for the Superior Wall system and tomorrow the walls are coming. I will be posting pictures of the progress at this web site web page if anyone is interested. Our first two semi loads...

Hi all, I have some new property that is very gravely and sandy. We are building on top of a hill on my property and it has some faily steep inclines that will be disturbed with excavation. Right now there are weeks and wildflowers growing. I need to plant something after excavation and...

Hi gang. I have been searching for bachhoe plans that are subframe mount and not 3 point. So far no luck so I thought I would ask here. The cadplans and one other look all to be 3 point..... TIA

Thought I would share this info with the rest..:) Just got off the phone with Woods and then called two dealers for prices. First dealer wanted $5700 plus tax and second dealer quoted $4459 plus tax. Wow..what a price difference. According to the dealers Woods has the BH in stock and could...

I want to put in my own drain field. The inspector has been out to show me where it goes and how big it needs to be but I have no idea how deep I have to go. Does anyone know of any info on the web. I tired google searches didn't come up with much info on construction. TIA

Hi everyone, just thought I would post some pictures of my land, polebarn and soon to come log home. http://home.comcast.net/~boba198/

Sorry the pics are mixed in with shots of my property and pole barn progress. So far I have 68 hours on it. Most made up of digging and using the box blade. This clay is like cement! http://home.comcast.net/~boba198/

Subject line pretty much says it all. I am considering buying one of these from my local dealer. The model is a 5500. Do any of you have experience with this brand in any of the models they have?

I am going to fabricate a bracket to hold some guage wheels behind my LS Rake and not sure how far back to put them. Does anyone have suggestions?

Hi gang. Took delivery of my 2210 this weekend. While working with the 48" boxscraper in back soil not hard packed and tractor in 4 wheel drive and low range I got a growl and rattle that sounded like it was coming from the transmission. All seems well and I just made sure I didn't have a full...

My wife and I are looking at a 4 acre plot made up of mostly gravel with rocks in the dia of 1" to 3". I need to decide what will be the best way to break this ground up. I have a JD2210, box blade, FEL, rear blade, and landscape rake. Hope this stuff will work to break up and level. I still...

I just called around and TSC has a 4' pto driven tiller. Does anyone have experience with this tiller? They tell me it has gears instead of a chain. Is the gear a better way to go? What sort of shear pin protection does it have? Thanks Bob

Ok guys....I got the manuals for my 2210 that will be delivered tomorrow (took the day off to play). I am looking for the ballast required for a full load and not making any sense out of the manual. Will a ballast box full of sand handle it? Should I add fluid to the tires? Thanks Bob

Hi eveyone, well I did it. My new 2210 will be delivered Friday and they are picking up my x475 that I traded. Just wondering what if any problems you guys have had with the 2210. I have read about the leaking and I think deere has fixed that in the newer models. Correct me here if I am...

Can anyone tell me the size of the JD ballast box. I have a 2210 being delivered this weekend with FEL and I am building my own ballast box. TIA Bob

price on 2210, 62C and FEL W/53\"bucket I just got a quote for 12999.00 tax and delivered from a local dealer. I had to go between two dealers to get this low. What do you guys and gals think, is this a decent price? It's not quite 20% off MSRP. TIA Bob

Ok here goes. I currenty own a X475 that I built a front bucket for. I posted pics of it and the hole I was able to dig with this unit. My wife and I are moving to a 5 acre half wooded parcel in the country this summer. I want to put in about 1 acre of lawn that is currently part of a field...

Well, I just finished a Handy Bucket for a 318. This one fits on the JD 100, 200 and 300 series with two spool valves and a front hitch for the snow/grader blade. The bucket is the same as the first one I build except 8 inches narrower. The challenge on this one was to construct a hook up...
