2210 JD TURF VS. R1S

[BREW]

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON USE OF TURF TIRES OVER THE BAR TREAD DESIGNS. I INTEND TO PURCHASE A 2210 NEXT WEEK. THE DEALER HAS REPETIVELY MADE THE COMMENT THAT I WON'T BE HAPPY WITH TURF TIRES. I HAVE A 970(APPROX. 38HP)FRONT WHEEL ASSIST WITH BAR TIRES, FEL, BOXBLADE, 6'ROTORY CUTTER, CHISEL PLOW, DISK, ETC. I ONLY NEED THE 2210 FOR YARD MOWING PURPOSE ONLY(3 AC.). ANYWAY, I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN ANY FEEDBACK ON THE 2210 WITH TURF TIRES.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THE 2210-GOOD OR BAD, ANY PROBLEMS ARISING, FOR A SERIOUS POTENTIAL BUYER-MYSELF.
THANKS JAMES /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

James,

If all you are going to do with the 2210 is yard mowing, I can't understand why the dealer would recommend R1 tires. Much, much too aggressive for the lawn. I have a JD 755 which is similar in size to the 2210. It has turf tires which have worked very well for mowing. Good Luck.

JEFF,
EXACTLY WHAT I'M THINKING. IT IS GOING TO REQUIRE HIM(DEALER) TO CHANGE OUT TO TURF TIRES, OR ORDER IN A TRACTOR ALREADY SET FOR AS REQUESTED. THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT.
